What to Do

Aruba is the most romantic island in the Caribbean, bathed in warmth and love. Whether you’re looking to fall in love on one of our gorgeous white-sand beaches or rekindle the flame within the confines of a secluded cove, you can rest assured, because our island is truly the ideal destination for setting the right mood. Snuggle up together and toast your love on a luxury sunset sailing cruise, enjoy a couples’ massage on the beach amongst the cooling touches of our rejuvenating trade winds, or sink into intimate conversation with a torch-lit, toes-in-the-sand, beach-front dining experience like no other. Whatever romantic experiences you seek, you’re bound to find them right here in Aruba.

Adventurous couples can find that perfect secluded spot to snorkel hand in hand, give tandem parasailing a try, and enjoy a helicopter ride with an unforgettable view of paradise. Or, hike to a secluded cove in Arikok National Park and discover dramatic views, as the waves crash against the rocky shoreline.

The Food of Love

Elements Restaurant, acclaimed by TripAdvisor’s Travelers Choice Awards as one of the top 10 fine dining restaurants in the Caribbean, honored with the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence, and named USA Today's #1 restaurant in the Caribbean, offers an unforgettable culinary experience in a spectacular oceanfront setting. Elements’ globally-inspired fare highlights natural, organic ingredients in European-style portions that are well-balanced for healthier living. From sustainable seafood to natural meats and locally grown produce, the menu is sourced with care and includes dishes to also impress vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free guests.

Our romantic dinner on the beach in a private cabana is an intimate experience with unencumbered view of the spectacular ocean. Bucuti’s powder white beach, the swaying palms and flickering candles ensure that magic is in the air. The specially designed menu for two includes complimentary wine or champagne, appetizer, entree, dessert and tea, coffee or espresso.

Senses Fine Dining Restaurant: Executive Chef Kelt Hugo Maat and Maitre D` Bas Kruisselbrink have combined forces to create SENSES Fine Dining. They both hail originally from The Netherlands, but have lived and worked all over the globe, accumulating the knowledge and influences you’ll find on display in their culinary and cocktail creations. They set out to craft a fine dining experience that truly delights the senses, and they have succeeded. It begins by serving only a limited number of guests (14) at each seating for a more exclusive experience.

Senses Chefs Table Restaurant: Everything you see, smell, taste, hear and touch will be of the highest quality. The cuisine at SENSES emerges from a solid foundation of classic French techniques enhanced by Dutch, Norwegian, and Indonesian influences in an innovative approach that transforms classic dishes into new creations that surprise and delight the palates of discerning guests. A fine dining experience of 5-8 courses at SENSES will make each guest realize that a single meal can be reason enough to come to One Happy Island from anywhere on the planet.
