Aruba’s west-facing coast means every evening delivers a postcard sunset over the Caribbean. These 5 restaurants are positioned to capture it from your dinner table.
The 5 best sunset restaurants in Aruba
1. Atardi — beachfront sunset, Marriott Palm Beach
Atardi means “sunset” in Papiamento. Tables in the sand at Aruba Marriott, full ocean view, refined menu. Book the 6:00 PM slot.
2. Faro Blanco — at the California Lighthouse
The most iconic sunset terrace on Aruba — at the base of the California Lighthouse on the island’s northwestern tip. The 6:00–7:00 PM slot is gold.
3. Marina Pirata — over Spanish Lagoon, Savaneta
The dock fills up around 6 PM as sunset approaches. Far from the resort crowd, west-facing, fresh seafood — the secret sunset spot for those willing to drive south.
4. Sunset Grille — the name says it all, Palm Beach
Hilton-area steakhouse with steak-and-seafood menu and an unbeatable sunset position on Palm Beach.
5. Passions on the Beach — Eagle Beach candlelight sunset
Tiki torches, candles in the sand, and the ocean turning gold. The romantic sunset move.
