Aruba is much more than a Caribbean paradise. The world-class beaches, always-perfect weather, and warm and welcoming culture are only a part of what makes Aruba unique. The feeling you get when you step on the sunny shores that stays with you long after you depart is what truly sets this island apart - we call it the Aruba Effect. And it all starts here, on One Happy Island.
Arubans speak our very own romance language. In fact, there’s a Papiamento word we say often here, one that reflects the warmth and passion we feel for each other, our visitors, and our island. The word is “dushi", and it translates simply to “sweetheart”. It’s why we invite guests from all over the world to celebrate weddings, anniversaries, honeymoons, and happy lives together. To share picturesque helicopter rides and vibrant sunsets. To fall in love all over again. It’s what makes Aruba one of the most romantic islands in the Caribbean.
Sometimes you just need a break from the kids! Aruba has adults-only options that are ideal for a quiet, restful stay. If an escape to paradise includes some time away from the kids, you need some "me" time, or you prefer to be in the company of just adults while vacationing, Aruba offers you complete adults-only resorts, like Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts, or Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort & Casino’s marina section. Many resorts also offer dedicated adults-only floors and swimming pools.
The island is one of the most welcoming LGBTQ+ friendly destinations in the Caribbean. All couples can celebrate their love in Aruba with a wedding celebration or a honeymoon. Getting married in Aruba is the ideal way to unite two happy hearts. Whether you dream of finding a small and intimate spot or want to exchange vows outside, with our sparkling blue sea as your witness, there are Aruba wedding venues—and on-island wedding planners—perfect for you.
The Aruba Effect - more than a Caribbean paradise. It's One Happy Island!
