Aruba

Constant trade winds and Eagle Beach white sand

The brief

Aruba, constant trade winds — Eagle Beach and the long calm coast.

Outside the hurricane belt, dry and reliably sunny, Aruba is the Caribbean week to book when nothing can go wrong. Eagle Beach is the headline; the resorts (Bucuti & Tara for adults, Ritz-Carlton for families) deliver the consistency.

An easy add-on to a Curaçao or Bonaire diving week.
