Aruba’s Top 5 All Inclusive Resorts

Aruba is one of the best Caribbean islands to visit for a honeymoon because of many different factors. The weather seems to be perfect 75% of the time and it has clean, white beaches to enjoy. You don’t have to worry about inhospitable locals and the chances of hurricanes are very low because of the island’s location.

Another great reason to choose Aruba as your honeymoon destination is the great all-inclusive resorts. This list will give you the top five resorts to stay at for a relaxing and romantic getaway that you won’t forget.

Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort

This resort is adult’s only so you can be assured of having some romantic moments uninhibited by curious or noisy children. This resort pulls out all the stops to ensure that you feel pampered and luxurious.

This resort is located at the end of the popular Eagle Beach, making it a bit quieter than the others on the island. When you wake up in the morning, you can take advantage of the daily breakfast buffet. After having fun on the beach, you can visit one of the two restaurants in the resort for lunch and then later again for dinner. Every Monday at Elements, they serve an authentic Aruban dinner.

Speaking of fun, their popular bar, Sandbar has happy hour every day and music to accompany the drinks. They also have a free movie night under the stars Saturday and Wednesday night.

This resort is romantic enough with all the wonderful amenities but if you want to take it up a notch and really create a memory of a lifetime, Bucuti offers a romantic dinner on the beach with your own private palapa and waiter. This is not included in the cost but still a great option to consider.

Manchebo Beach Resort and Spa

If you love to eat high class food, this resort is known to be the resort in Aruba with the best all inclusive fine dining experience. Their all-inclusive plan includes a choice of breakfast buffer or a la carte. Lunch can be eaten at the Pega Pega café right on the beach. For dinner you have a choice of three restaurants, all with exquisite foods to offer. If you stay four nights, Manchebo will even treat you to a dinner in town at a restaurant of your choice. This plan also includes open bar for wine, liquor, and cocktails.

Known for its health and wellness attributes, Machebo offers vegan dishes, complimentary yoga and Pilates classes at the spa, and healthy smoothies free of charge. If you want to relax but still keep your health routine in check, this resort is for you.

You can reserve the honeymoon package at this resort which includes fresh flowers, chocolate covered strawberries and champagne on your arrival, a couple’s massage, breakfast in bed, a candlelight dinner and a sunset cruise. It doesn’t get any more romantic than that!

Aruba Ocean Villas

This resort has a slightly different feel than others on the island. It was created by an artist native to the island. Each villa is unique and designed by the artist. If you want a more local feel to your stay but still enjoy luxury and relaxation, this resort would be your choice.

There are only seven villas in this resort, so if you want to stay, you’ll have to reserve your room far in advance. Each room is its own building, private and separate from the others. They are connected by walkways over the ocean.

The restaurant connected to the resort is not your typical resort restaurant. Again, you’ll experience a much more local flair in the food with delicious seafood dishes. Each room is stocked with A/C, WIFI, and special touches unique to them. This resort is definitely for those who are looking for something more private for some alone time.

Rui Palace Aruba

This all-inclusive resort is huge! It has over 400 rooms and offers so much that it can be overwhelming. But you’ll be assured to never be bored! They have live music day and night.
