What’s Special About This Resort
From Manchebo Beach Resort’s remote location in the southern outskirts of the low-rise hotel zone to the peaceful outdoor spa, this boutique all-inclusive resort is designed for destressing. With only 72 rooms, the resort instead boasts a serene landscape and focuses on guest wellness and relaxation. It’s located right on Eagle Beach, so guests can always enjoy the rejuvenating effects of the sea.
The resort offers an all-inclusive food option that features daily breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even a dinner off-property at a local Aruban restaurant (only with a stay of 4 nights or more.) All premium drinks are also included. Enjoy complimentary WiFi and complimentary daily yoga and pilates classes during your stay.

What To Do
With a focus on wellness, it makes sense that this resort is equipped with an exceptional spa. The Spa de Sol is mostly outdoors and features a large wooden deck with loungers, an area dedicated to fish pedicures, gorgeous ocean views, and private palapas where you can receive a massage in the midst of a vibrant flower garden. While access to the spa area is free, you can expect to pay extra per spa service.
Connect with your inner zen and enroll in a free introductory yoga or Pilates class. Float in the pool or grab a book from the resort’s lending library to read poolside.
For times when you just want to sunbathe, grab a towel and head on over to one of the resort-provided loungers at Eagle Beach. Sink your toes into the powder soft sand, stop for a drink at the Pega Pega beach bar, and relax.
What To Eat
For dinner and live music, you’ll want to get a seat at Ike’s Bistro. Then come back again in the morning for their breakfast selection.
Treat yourself to a fancy dinner at the formal Chophouse at Manchebo or try all of the tasty rolls at the Omakase sushi bar.
Don’t feel like leaving the beach? Grab a bite to eat at the resort’s beach bar, that serves pub-style food and a variety of drinks. It’s a fun and lively atmosphere where bartenders love the company of guests.
Room Guide
With just 72 rooms and suites, the Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa is “blissfully quiet” in the words of its website – and we’d have to agree. Its four room types are each ideal for couples, honeymooners, and anyone seeking luxury and wellness in the Caribbean.
Deluxe Garden View: Freshly renovated, these rooms come with one king or two twin beds and overlook the manicured groves of jasmine, oleander, banana, and other plants in the on-property gardens. A mini-fridge and refreshment nook make sure you can store something to sip on as you please. The premium bathroom amenities ensure a fresh start and end to every day.
Deluxe Ocean View: Also newly designed, these rooms also come with either one king bed or two twins but overlook the magnificent Eagle Beach. The views of the sand, water, and thatched palapa umbrellas are quintessentially Aruban.
Deluxe Ocean Front: These rooms are the most popular with honeymooners, as they all have one king bed and are as close as it gets to those unreal ocean views. For stays of four nights or more, you’ll arrive with a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine to go with your first views from the balcony.
Deluxe One-Bedroom Suite: These spacious suites make for the ultimate escape to the Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa. A separate sitting area with a comfy couch, transformable into another bed, lets you spread out in the elegant space. A kitchenette leaves plenty of space to keep snacks and drinks that you may want throughout your stay – like a bottle of wine to enjoy on the large balcony.
Special Experiences
This resort is small and intimate, making it a perfect escape for couples. It offers a Honeymoon Package for a four-night stay that includes fresh flowers, a bottle of sparkling wine, chocolate-covered strawberries, a couples massage, one breakfast for two in bed, a romantic candlelight dinner, and your choice of a snorkeling or sunset cruise. This can be a great way to turn a relaxing stay into an incredibly romantic one.
The spa here is one of the most renowned in the area, offering a wide range of treatments like therapeutic, stone, aloe, mud, lomi lomi, and prenatal, among others. Book yours in a thatched beachfront cabana for a special setting.
