Best Beach for Activities and Amenities
Where to stay Palm Beach:
Palm Beach

It is unlikely you will take a trip to Aruba and not experience Palm Beach at least once. Palm Beach is the ultimate party beach in Aruba’s nightlife capital. This iconic two-mile sandy strip known as Palm Beach is home to inviting turquoise waters as well as lively nightlife and high-rise resorts.

Palm Beach is situated in the tourism hub of Aruba. This means there is convenience and excitement all around. You can find any type of food, drink, and rental equipment in this area. Palm Beach is the hub for many of Aruba’s top things to do, which makes it a convenient home base for those enjoying a day excursion.

This area is easily accessible by car, taxi, and public transport. It is a great jumping-off point for those who have just arrived on the island, as you can easily enjoy the wonderful sandy beach without having to try too hard. Once the crowds become a bit overwhelming, you can move on to one of the many less-populated beaches on this list. But for a perfect balance of tropical beach and happening nightlife, nothing beats Palm Beach.
