It’s hard to beat a private island as a resort amenity. This is Renaissance Island.

Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort Aruba’s capital of Oranjestad has undergone a remarkable transformation in the last decade. Today, it’s a vibrant, walkable, colorful city, with a dynamic arts scene, strong gastronomic chops and a cosmopolitan energy. At the core is the Renaissance, a mixed-use destination that’s one of the city’s entertainment hubs, centered around this waterfront hotel, which includes a casino and a high-level shopping mall. The resort has both an adults-only and a family-friendly wing, along with one major amenity: the nearby Renaissance Island, a private-island destination tailor-made for perfect days on the beach.
