Aruba is known for its beautiful beaches. As part of my quest to find out what it was like to live like the locals in Aruba, I visited quite a few of the beaches and have discovered the seven best locations for you to enjoy that sea, sun and sand.

The Caribbean islands have always been on my bucket list and I was thrilled to be able to have my first Caribbean island experience in Aruba on behalf of Wander-Lust. I spent five days on the island in search of hidden gems, local spots and ways to live like a local on this One Happy Island. Here is everything I’ve tried and tested for you to plan an unforgettable trip to Aruba yourself.
