You're welcome to
dream of endless sun
and scenery. You're
welcome to plunge
into the
breathtaking blue
and crystal clear
ocean and to
lounge on
sparkling white
beaches. You're
welcome to plan the
ideal family
vacation, the
perfect wedding, a
romantic honeymoon
or simply escape to
a colorful world
away from home.
You're welcome to
explore ...to make
everything 'Aruba'
your own ...to find
the perfect
something, or
nothing, to do.
Aruba is a distinct
blend of people from
South America and
Europe, from the Far
East and other
islands of the
Caribbean. These
diverse settlers add
unique flavor to the
lives of the
inhabitants of the
island.
Arubans are
among the most
educated people
in the world,
speaking
English,
Spanish, Dutch
and Papiamento
fluently. Many
also speak
French and
German.
From the
moment you
arrive, your
vacation will be
overflowing with
good music.
Arubans are
ardent music
lovers and
musicians and
cherish their
traditional
music, such as
the fiery tumba,
the elegant
danza and the
fast-paced
Antillean waltz.
International
cuisine runs the
gamut from
French to
Fusion, Italian
to Indian, from
Japanese to
Javanese. Local
cuisine carries
its own
distinction with
the sharp taste
of the local "yerbe
hole" basil
bringing out the
best of the
"catch of the
day."
