Aruba is an island located 15 miles north of Venezuela, surrounded by the warm and tranquil waters of the southern Caribbean. This nearly 20-mile-long and 6-mile-wide island spans roughly 70 square miles and features some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, many of which are located in Oranjestad, the country’s capital. The island’s location below the hurricane belt and dry climate are huge draws for tourists. It’s a sunny and breezy island destination with very few rainy days. Aruba is home to many natural and man-made attractions both inland and along its coast, including Arikok National Park, the Bubali Bird Sanctuary, Divi Village Golf Course, Alhambra Casino, and iconic beaches Divi, Drulf, Bushiri, and Eagle.
