The Divi Dutch Village Beach Resort in Aruba has relaunched following a big transformation project.

The property has unveiled three redesigned pools, upgraded and modernized suites and a new check-in building, among other changes.

“We’re thrilled to show off the new Divi Dutch Village,” said Marco Galaverna, Divi Resorts COO. “It’s been hard work these past few months improving and refining our beautiful resort and we can’t wait for guests to enjoy everything our newly-renovated destination has to offer.”

The new check-in building.

All units were completely renovated as part of the project, with new “contemporary” furniture, new bathrooms, redesigned and reconfigured balconies and patios with modern railings, along with upgraded Wi-Fi and 55-inch smart TVs.

“Our resort is practically brand new when you factor in the amount of updates we’ve made,” Galaverna said. “We’ve really been listening to our guests’ input and we used that feedback to make our entire resort more modern, sleek and guest-friendly.”
