Overview
Aruba is a Caribbean gem known as 'One Happy Island' -- a sun-drenched paradise off the coast of Venezuela with year-round warm weather, dazzling white-sand beaches, and a desert landscape dotted with divi-divi trees and towering cacti. Eagle Beach consistently ranks among the best beaches in the world, and the island's constant trade winds make it a haven for windsurfing and kiteboarding.
For points travelers, Aruba delivers strong value through Hyatt, Marriott, and Hilton properties all clustered along the stunning Palm Beach and Eagle Beach strips. The Hyatt Regency Aruba stands out as one of the best CPP redemptions in the Caribbean, offering a beachfront resort experience at a fraction of the cash rate. Aruba's location outside the hurricane belt means you can visit year-round without weather concerns.
Beyond the beaches, Aruba offers Arikok National Park with its rugged desert terrain, natural pool formations carved into volcanic rock, colorful Dutch colonial architecture in Oranjestad, and a vibrant food scene influenced by Dutch, Latin American, and Caribbean cultures.
Cash vs Points
Hotels in Aruba range from $258 to $2069 per night. Points redemptions offer 4.23+ cents per point value.
