The 10 Hottest Resorts in Aruba Right Now, From New Luxury Openings to Island Classics

The Westerly Aruba (Opening Soon)
The Westerly is the island’s most anticipated opening this year, expected to include approximately 97 residential-style suites near the Palm Beach corridor. It’s a resort-within-a-resort at the Hilton Aruba. While the opening timeline may shift, early booking windows typically offer favorable rates before a property reaches full occupancy. Its smaller footprint compared to the larger Palm Beach resorts will likely appeal to travelers who want proximity to restaurants and nightlife without committing to a high-rise environment. The biggest story? Actual swim-up rooms are available.
