The gracious local staff at The Ritz-Carlton, Aruba greets you with a warm “Bon bini” ("Welcome") — just the beginning of an authentic island experience. With its prime position along beautiful Palm Beach, the hotel offers a welcome reprieve with 320 airy, sun-filled rooms wrapped in sea-inspired hues; each features a private balcony and thoughtful touches. The 15,000-square-foot spa, where signature treatments utilize native herbs and other natural ingredients, is a destination in itself. Indulge in delectable cuisine at BLT Steak, a modern American steakhouse. Diversions include a 24/7 casino, two pools and plenty of water play.
