ARUBA VACATION
This small island is a true jewel for
tourists seeking out a tropical destination
with a touch of European flair. Although
many nationalities have shaped the culture,
the Dutch influence is particularly present
in the language, the architecture and the
windmill-turned-restaurant. Aruba has a
wonderful culinary reputation and a bold and
exciting nightlife with numerous clubs,
evening shows and casinos. Oranjestad, the
island's capital, is a paradise for
shoppers.
Sun seekers will rejoice. Aruba's coast is
surrounded by beaches of pure white sand
which are particularly rugged and beautiful
on the northern side. The unusual shape of
the divi-divi trees, trunk bent by constant
trade winds, is also a symbol of the island.
Inland Aruba is more reminiscent of a desert
landscape with cacti, aloe and dramatic rock
formations.
