Considering its vast array of white-sand beaches and near-perfect climate, it is little wonder that Aruba is one of the Caribbean's most popular destinations with some 1.5 million sun-seekers arriving each year. Most of these arrive from the US or Venezuela, which is located a short distance away but some arrive on cheap flights to Aruba from as far afield as the UK suggesting that the trip is well-worth the reward of arrival.
The capital of Aruba is Oranjestad that serves as the cultural hub of the island. The town features all modern amenities as well as everything a visitor’s heart could desire including shops, casinos, nightclubs and last though certainly not least restaurants. Local architecture is a modern fusion featuring a strong Dutch influence with a Caribbean twist. It is also a port with a busy waterfront where yachts of every size and description mingle with cruise ships and fishing boats. Nearby – certainly within a half-hour stroll is Eagle Beach, a beach town with a variety of hotels ranging from the intimate and unique to the huge all-inclusive resorts that tend to attract those on a tighter budget. A short walk past Eagle Beach will lead visitors to the well-known Waikiki strip where anyone for whom money is no object tends to stay.
