Romantic things to do while visiting Aruba

Looking for a romantic moment or place to take your loved one in Aruba? Or do you want to surprise your loved one with a truly romantic moment in Aruba?  A sunset sail, a private dinner on the beach, a horseback tour on the beach at sunset; the list of possibilities is endless. Call today to book this destination at (603)228-1625 or email: linda@travlbudi.com.  Also ask me about Boardwalk Hotel a small but amazing resort to stay on the island to add to the romance.


1. Sunset drinks at Miralamar

There are plenty of beaches, beach bars, view points and breathtaking coastlines in Aruba to take in the gorgeous sunset, a highly romantic moment during the day and a great start of your evening. Try a hidden gem off the beaten track and take a drive to Aruba’s National Park Arikok. Just past the Park’s main entrance in San Fuego (direction Santa Cruz) drive some 100 meters uphill and you’ll find stairs to Miralamar on your right hand side. Bring a chilled bottle of wine or any other beverage of your choice and have a seat at the bench atop the Miralamar hill, overlooking the ocean and breathtaking hilly countryside. For the ultimate romance, go here around sundown, between 6-7 PM.

2. Massage for two on the water

Aruba offers some of the most romantic settings for an indulgent couples massage on the beach. The ultimate romance can be found during a relaxing morning or afternoon at the Spa Cove, part of Okeanos Spa, located on the private island of the Renaissance Resort. On a pier surrounded by the clear blue Caribbean ocean you’ll enjoy a massage for two in the privacy of a secluded cabana. After your treatment you can explore and enjoy the private beach of Renaissance island, in a just-like-the-movies setting of snow white beaches and parading flamingos. Starting at $290 for a 50-minutes massage for two, including free ferry service for access to the private island.

3. Beach picnic at night

As busy as Aruba’s beaches can get during the day, the more quiet and almost mystical they become in the late evening. To get into the romantic mood, have a stroll on the paved boardwalk alongside the gardens of Palm Beach high-rise hotels and take in the dramatic effect of tall palm trees making a mark on the beach with their dark silhouettes. Continue your journey (preferably by car) towards Eagle Beach, or any of the smaller bays up north, such as Boca Catalina. Bring your beach towels to create a plaid, some chilled drinks and plenty of snacks and have the romantic beach pick nick of a lifetime.

4. After dinner drink at the Lighthouse

When in Aruba, do as the Arubans do and drive up to the California Lighthouse. Especially at night this site attracts romantic couples that park their car at this elevated area to enjoy the magnificent skyline of well-lit Palm Beach high-rise area. Bring some chilled drinks and your favorite music and transform your car into a romantic lounge with excellent views of the most northern tip of the island.

5. Barefoot dining at Sunset

The soft sands of Aruba’s famous beaches make for the most romantic setting to enjoy a sunset dinner under a starlit sky. There are various options to choose from as Aruba offers quite a few beachfront restaurants, both in Eagle Beach and Palm Beach as well as the more remote Savaneta, a small fisherman village on a 30-minute drive from the hotel area. Between downtown Oranjestad and Aruba’s airport you’ll find the ocean front Barefoot Restaurant, offering an excellent menu and wine selection. Make reservations in advance and try to get a table on the water’s edge.
