Aruba , the first of the chain of Islands in the Dutch Antillies called the ABC Islands. Bonaire and Curacao making the other two. Its a flat Island and gets cooled by the trade winds. Itis only 15 miles off of the coast of Venezuela. It has some real top beaches on the south Coast as they are more sheltered.

The north has rougher seas and ironshore (old dead coral think grey hard and sharp and very irregular with a mysterious beauty !). Aruba has a desert like interior. The National Park called Arikok has tall cacti  giant boulders and caves with ancient Indian art. The trade winds bend the divi divi trees towards the south west. Coincidentally a lot of the main hotels are here near and around Eagle Beach, so if you get lost the divi divi may point to your hotel :)

We are looking for owners and managers to obtain your aruba vacation rentals to put on this website.

November and December the island gets brief showers giving the 50 cm rainfall average per year. January and March is carnival season the busiest maybe best time to go.
