The St. Regis Aruba Resort

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

"A much‑welcomed luxury option on Aruba’s loveliest stretch of beach—known for mild weather and calm waters year‑round—this property sits at the south end of Palm Beach. It’s fairly nondescript on the outside but stands out as the most modern hotel on the strip (its sister property, the Ritz Carlton Aruba, bookends this stretch of sand). Built to maximize beachfront rooms, it boasts an impressive maze of seven pools spilling toward the ocean—a sight to behold from above. From the moment you step inside, nature is on full display, from the focal greenery arrangement to the floor‑to‑ceiling lobby windows looking out to calm, turquoise‑blue waters. Don’t skip a meal at Akira Back, helmed by its namesake Michelin‑starred chef and serving a Japanese‑ and Korean‑inspired menu heavy on raw seafood and high‑end meat." - Jacqueline Dole
