Move over, happy hour.

Aruba’s Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort has launched the Caribbean’s first-ever Healthy Hour.

The hour lets guests “toast to their health” each day from 3 to 4 PM with half-priced nutrient-rich smoothies and handcrafted “mocktails.”

Guests also received a “wholesome” snack at the open-air SandBar and a schedule of complimentary healthy activities and classes.

Daily offerings rotate with yoga and meditation, Tai Chi on the beach, sunrise beach walks, nutritional counseling, group personal training sessions and chef-led cooking demonstrations of healthy dishes.

“We want to support and inspire our guests, give them knowledge and practical experience so they can live their lives to the fullest while here and long after returning home,” said Ewald Biemans, owner and CEO of Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. “We are on a mission of continually expanding our healthy lifestyle offerings to provide our guests with the most fulfilling vacation experience possible.”
