Which style of honeymoon
- Quiet beach, simple luxury: Bucuti & Tara or Manchebo. Both are on Eagle Beach, the widest beach on the island, with low-rise hotels; see Eagle Beach.
- Palm Beach glamour: the Ritz-Carlton or the Marriott. Both are on the main resort strip with casinos, restaurants and boat departures nearby; see Palm Beach.
- Privacy: Aruba Ocean Villas or Boardwalk Boutique Hotel. Plunge pools at the villas, casitas with kitchens and a secluded beach area at Boardwalk.
- All-inclusive: RIU Palace Antillas or Secrets Baby Beach. The first is on Palm Beach, the second in the southeast near Baby Beach and San Nicolas, far from the nightlife; see the best all-inclusive resorts in Aruba.
Extras worth planning
Mention the occasion when you book: the tourism board says dinners, activities and lodging may offer a discount, a free dessert or a gift. Aruba's couples guide names romance packages at the Marriott, Amsterdam Manor, Bucuti & Tara and Divi Village, but says offers vary and may not appear on a hotel's website, so ask directly. Activities for the days between resort time are in the Aruba honeymoon guide, including the sunset sail and the sunset ride, and the adults-only comparison is in adults-only resorts in Aruba. A sunset catamaran is rated 4.7 out of 5 from 298 reviews on GetYourGuide (read 7 November 2026): Noord happy hour sunset cruise.
Typical mistakes
- Choosing Secrets Baby Beach for the Palm Beach restaurants and casinos: it is in the southeast, near San Nicolas.
- Reading "adults only" at the Renaissance as the whole hotel: only the Marina Hotel's wing is adults only.
- Booking an all-inclusive resort for a stay of mostly tours: you pay for meals you will not eat there.
- Expecting every resort on this list to have an all-inclusive plan: the tourism board states one for RIU Palace Antillas, Secrets Baby Beach and as an option at Manchebo.
