Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba

The Best Hotels in Aruba—Luxe All-Inclusives, Beachfront Retreats, and Cozy Boutiques | Condé Nast Traveler

"Set in a former coconut grove, this locally owned, family‑run escape from twin sisters Kimberly and Stephanie Rooijakkers sits less than half a mile from bustling Palm Beach yet feels worlds away. Fifty casitas tucked amid lush tropical landscaping make it an ideal place to truly unplug, and you’ll see every type of traveler—from friend groups and families to honeymooners and solo guests. It’s not directly on the sand, but the beach is minutes away by short walk or shuttle. The casitas are private yet resort‑equipped, with rare perks like kitchens and barbecues, and on‑site Coco Café serves classic Aruban treats, Belgian items, and Mediterranean‑inspired fare. This year it earned two Michelin Keys, the only property in Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao to receive the recognition." - Jacqueline Dole
