Aruba is sizzling, and not just because it’s so close to the equator. The southern Caribbean hotspot has been one of the most popular destinations in the region since the onset of the pandemic, having nimbly handled its tourism protocols and cultivated an impressively quick tourism recovery. Today, Aruba arrivals are nearing record-breaking totals, and that’s likely to continue into 2023. 

Our latest guide to the best Aruba resorts focuses not on the best-known accommodations in Aruba, but the, buzziest, freshest and, well, hottest resorts and hotels on the Dutch Caribbean island. That means some names you may not have even heard of, along with some tried-and-true resorts that exemplify the best of One Happy Island. 

Here are the best places to stay in Aruba in 2023.

The Bucuti Tara Resort, Aruba’s premier hotel.

Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort This is the best resort in Aruba, and there isn’t much of a competition. Ewald Biemans’ jewel on stunning Eagle Beach isn’t just a breathtakingly good resort, it’s one of the Caribbean’s model resorts for sustainability. The service, beginning with the iPad check-in, is fabulous, the food (and its commitment to dietary-diverse travelers) is outstanding, and the adults-only experience is sublime.
