5 Most Picturesque Areas of Aruba
Known for its gorgeous beaches, rugged natural landscape, and colorful culture, Aruba is one of the most popular islands to visit in the Caribbean. Whether it’s your first time traveling to the island or you’re returning for another visit, it can be tough knowing where to start on your vacation. At Delphi Watersports, we’re here to help! Here are our recommendations for the top 5 most picturesque areas of Aruba:
1. Palm Beach, Aruba
When you think of the Caribbean, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? Many would picture a pristine, white sand beach, blue skies, and an unobstructed view of the water. That’s why Palm Beach is at the top of our list! This coastal destination is one of the island’s most iconic beaches, famous for its stunning natural beauty, calm ocean waters, and breathtaking sunsets. The area is packed with quaint beachside bars, restaurants, and world-class resorts, and is the perfect vacation destination for couples, families, and solo adventurers! Visitors flock from all over the world to experience this perfect beach and try out many of the popular watersports in Aruba. Palm Beach is the perfect spot for adrenaline-pumping activities such as waterskiing, tube riding, and a classic banana boat ride!

Bring the whole family, rent a paddleboard, kayak, or beach umbrella, and soak up the sun on one of Aruba’s most beautiful beaches!
2. Aruba Natural Pool in Arikok National Park
Nestled on the rugged Aruban coastline deep within Arikok National Park lies one of the island’s most incredible hidden treasures. Aruba’s Natural Pool, also known as Cura di Tortuga (meaning Turtles Cove) or Conchi (meaning bowl), is truly an ecological marvel. Protected from the harsh ocean waves by ancient volcanic rock formations, this oasis provides a perfect setting for swimming, relaxing, and even cliff diving for the thrill-seeking type! However, getting there is no easy feat. The area is only accessible by ATV or UTV. That’s where Delphi Watersports comes in!
