Travel to Aruba has a growing number of fans, from honeymooners and sun worshippers
to snorkelers, sailors, and weekend gamblers. When you lie back along the seven-mile
stretch of white-sand beach, you'll enjoy an average 82°F daytime temperature, trade
winds, and very low humidity. Moreover, you won't be harassed by peddlers on the
beach, you'll find it relatively safe, and you won't feel racial tensions. An Aruba
vacation is truly the definition of Paradise.
Aruba stands outside the hurricane path. Its coastline on the leeward side is smooth
and serene, with white-sand beaches; but on the eastern coast, the windward Atlantic
side, it looks rugged and wild. You'll find travel to Aruba to be dry and sunny
almost year-round. Aruba has clean, exhilarating air, like in the desert of Palm
Springs, California. Forget lush vegetation here, as Aruba receives only 17 inches
of rainfall annually.
Its own Palm Beach, one of the best in the world, draws droves of tourists, as do
its glittering casinos. Aruba is for vacationers who think that sun-drenched flesh
is best complemented by an elegant evening gown. An Aruba vacation is a combination
of leisure down time and elegance.
Though it is still a Dutch protectorate, Aruba became a nation unto itself in 1986.
With more than a dozen Aruba resort hotels populating its once-uninhabited beaches,
it is now one of the Caribbean's most popular destinations. A recent moratorium
on hotel construction, however, has halted the building of newer resorts - so for
now, Aruba remains safe from rampant over development.
