L.G. Smith Boulevard 55B, Oranjestad, Aruba Get directions

"An adults‑only boutique retreat in the quieter, low‑rise Eagle Beach district, it offers sun seekers the island’s best, least‑crowded beach. Signal for a piña colada by placing a red flag in the sand and let the very accommodating staff handle the rest. A Spanish colonial exterior gives way to contemporary interiors; Tara Wing suites (added in 2004 and renovated in 2017) have oceanfront views, king‑size beds, and separate living areas. Elements Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the newly opened Terra is helmed by Michelin‑awarded chef Jeremy Ford. A strong wellness focus includes a “healthy hour” with 50% off juices and smoothies, sustainable mocktail mixology classes, and a new nature‑immersed yoga deck with complimentary classes." - Jacqueline Dole

"An eco-friendly, adults-only property that offers bookable beach loungers so guests can "sleep in instead of fighting for a patch of sand," positioning it as a restful, couple-focused beach resort." - Georgina Lawton Georgina Lawton Georgina Lawton is a journalist, editor, speaker, and former Guardian columnist.

Elements Restaurant, which opened in 2013, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner, though don't shy away from exploring the island for a more memorable dining experience.
