Ritz-Carlton Aruba is one of the top places to stay in Aruba. This five-star luxury resort is located close to Palm Beach — one of the most beautiful stretches of coastline in the Caribbean. Aruba has almost no rain, constant sunshine, and a cooling trade wind year-round. Staying at The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba puts you at the centre of everything the island offers.
The beach is the main draw. Palm Beach has calm, flat water and white sand that is consistently ranked among the world’s best beaches. You can swim, snorkel, paddleboard, or simply relax under a palapa all day long.
