Short answer: you can get shade in Aruba from a delivery company, your hotel, a store-bought umbrella, or a set that is already standing on the beach. The right one depends on how much effort you want on vacation.

Delivery
You carry, plant and watch the umbrella yourself. Cheaper on paper, but the wind is your problem.
Hotel loungers
Some hotels offer them to guests. Ask what is included and whether you can reserve.
A cheap umbrella
Fine for a day or two, but light models struggle in the trade wind and are awkward to pack home.
Already set up on the sand
Umbrella and two chairs are standing and reserved when you walk onto Eagle Beach or Palm Beach.
Skip the beach-day gamble
Our Umbrella Aruba booking puts an umbrella and two chairs on the sand at Eagle Beach or Palm Beach before you arrive. It is $100 a day plus 20% tax and fees, 10 AM to 4 PM, and checkout is handled by PalapaAruba.com.
