Boardwalk Small Hotel, Aruba Set on a former coconut plantation, this intimate 14-casita hotel (hidden in plain sight at the north end of the High-Rise District) is ideal for independent couples who want to sample a taste of Aruban life as they begin theirs together. Twosomes can stroll hand-in-hand to the inn’s slice of Palm Beach (five minutes away) or try their luck by dipping into the “treasure box,” filled with the owners’ and past guests’ island suggestions, and embark on a spontaneous adventure together.
