Aruba - the diverse island of bliss
Display - The beaches of Aruba are among the most beautiful in the Caribbean and the world.

Both peace-seeking romantics and adventurous active travelers will get their money's worth on Aruba - the One Happy Island. Due to its location outside the hurricane belt, the island can be visited all year round - the daily flight connections with KLM create the best conditions for this.
