While Aruba is filled with high quality resorts, some are better than others, and we’ve narrowed down the best to our five favorite Aruba resorts so you can start planning your next vacation to the island.

Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts As good as it gets in Aruba, this resort set on the impossibly white sands of Eagle Beach is an exquisitely executed property. The service is outstanding, the rooms impeccably appointed and the food excellent. From a high-tech check-in to in-room air purifiers, no detail is beyond attention. It’s a simply marvelous place to stay, and the leader among Aruba resorts.

The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba This Palm Beach standard has all the amenities, from dining highlighted by the superb BLT Steakhouse to beach service delivered by Segway. The rooms are excellent, the lobby bar is a great meeting place and it even boasts one of the island’s best coffee shops, the recently-debuted Ritual Coffee Culture. But the highlight? The world-class spa.

Aruba Marriott The 411-room Aruba Marriott begins with one of the most energetic, creatively designed lobbies in the Caribbean (accented by a wonderful lobby bar) and extends to the island’s best casino. This is as good as a Marriott gets in the Caribbean, and it’s a full-service, well-run property perched on a beautiful beach. And there’s even a terrific Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse.

Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort When world-renowned architect Morris Lapidus designed what was then the Aruba Caribbean Hotel in 1959, it was the new flagship for Aruba resorts. Now, after a large-scale transformation project, the Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort sets a new standard for the island, with great guest rooms, an activity-filled stretch of beach and excellent service, too.

Renaissance Aruba Aruba is not just about the beach (although its beaches are among the greatest in the Caribbean). Its capital, Oranjestad, is a bustling, beautiful town, and it teems with great eateries, culture and shopping. If you want to experience all that it has to offer, you need to plan a stay at the Renaissance Aruba, a modern resort that just so happens to boast its own private island. Even better? It’s also home to a luxury mall, a full-fledged destination in its own right.
