Your Aruba Itinerary

During your stay at Marriott's Aruba Ocean Club, you will discover plenty to delight and entertain the family. The beaches on Aruba are nothing short of stunning, and if you enjoy diving, you'll find some of the best spots in the Caribbean here. Thanks to weather that remains sunny virtually all year and dry conditions that you can rely on, any season may be ideal for enjoying a vacation in this tropical paradise.

buildings in Oranjestad

The island's capital, Oranjestad, boasts plenty of family-friendly options for activities. Wander through colorful collections of Dutch colonial buildings while strolling in and out of one-of-a-kind shops and galleries. Be sure to schedule stops at the Aruba Aloe factory and museum as well as the famous Butterfly Farm.

While in Oranjestad, stop by Wilhelmina Park. This waterfront attraction is especially popular in the months of June, September and October, which is when the most plants are blooming. Don't miss the opportunity to glimpse iguanas sunning themselves on the edge of the water.

Not far from Wilhelmina Park is the Aruba Historical Museum. This small institution is fascinating with its many island-related artifacts. The museum is found within Fort Zourtman in the King Willem III Tower. This building once served as a lighthouse and a vantage point from which pirates could be spotted.

High-end shopping can be discovered in Oranjestad at the Renaissance Shopping Mall. Cartier, Gucci, Chanel and other extremely recognizable brand names all are represented here.

Soak in Aruba's natural wonders at Arikok National Park, which encompasses nearly 20-percent of the entire island. Spend the day marveling at the cacti, rock formations, sand dunes and caves.

It's possible to spot indigenous Indian paintings on many of the large boulders as you traverse the various trails and make certain that you view the small natural bridge on the island's north coast. Options for visiting Arikok National Park abound but using a 4WD vehicle is a must as many of the roads are extremely rugged.

It's Really About the Beach

The beaches are the main highlight for most visitors to Aruba. Most of them will dazzle your senses, with Palm Beach and Eagle Beach being particular favorites for most people. Along the island's northwest coast is an eleven-kilometer stretch of white sand that goes on and on without interruption. Running from Druif Beach to Malmok, you could spend your entire stay just exploring this coastline.

Beach at Ocean Club

If you prefer a quieter, more secluded beach, try your luck at Manchebo Beach. It's an ideal spot for a sunset stroll. In fact, many visitors consider this to be the most romantic thing to do on the island.

Swimmers and snorkelers will be delighted with the sand and water at Arashi Beach and Malmok Beach. Malmok is definitely more heavily visited, so if you're looking for something a little less busy, opt for Arashi Beach.

If pulse-pounding action is more your thing, head to the island's windward east coast. This is where you will find Black Stone Beach, Bachelor's Beach, Dos Playa, Boca Andicuri and others with huge waves and strong currents. Swimming isn't recommended in these waters, but it's paradise for kitesurfers and windsurfers.

Travel to Aruba's northern tip to visit the striking California Lighthouse, which is featured on many local brochures and postcards. It is the namesake of the S.S. California, which sank off of the island's coast many years ago. Be sure to take in the sand dunes, cacti and grazing goats during your visit.

Diving and Snorkeling

Aruba is famous for the quality of its dive sites. In fact, the island is considered a bucket list destination for many divers. Most well-known are the opportunities for wreck diving. Experiences are available for every level of diving ability, and the vessels that can be explored range from tugboats to cargo ships. You might even encounter the fuselages of a few planes.

The largest and most famous wreck is the Antilla. It's possible for snorkelers to experience the Antilla in the sections trapped in shallower water. Two of the other most popular wreck dives are the oil tanker Pedernales and the freighter Jane Sea.

Reef diving is available too at sites such as Mas Bango Reef, Plonco Reef and Skalahein Reef. Mas Bango Reef similarly is popular with snorkelers.

Those who prefer to not get wet have the option of boarding the Atlantis Submarine, from which they can view shipwrecks, coral reefs and an assortment of marine life.
