Aruba Holidays


the caribbean
Acclaimed for its stunning beaches, glitzy nightlife and natural wonders, holidays to Aruba offer an exciting yet laidback sun-filled Caribbean stay.

Aruba is a small Dutch island in the southern Caribbean famous for its soft white sand beaches and glimmering turquoise waters. The capital, Oranjestad, is a bustling harbour city well worth visiting with its brightly coloured Dutch architecture, diverse culinary scene and interesting museums and monuments. Most hotels are located along bustling Palm Beach where you can enjoy watersports, beach walks and luxury shopping by day and chic restaurants or glamorous casinos by night.

For the more active, explore the rugged terrain and the cacti covered hills of Arikok National Park with its hiking trails and caves before cooling off in the natural pools. Keen divers will be spoilt for choice with a multitude of shipwrecks, sunken planes and natural reefs creating an underwater playground.

Trailfinders offers a range of Aruba holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to explore the natural attractions, shop designer brands or simply laze on a stunning beach they are the perfect people to ask.
