The arrival of winter has many travelers immediately dreaming of warmer destinations. When an island escape would do you wonders this winter, heading to beautiful and inviting Aruba is always an exceptionally good choice. Between the amazing weather, iconic attractions, and options to revitalize the body and mind, a visit this way puts a new and more refreshing spin on the winter season. This guide is a great place to start when you’re looking to enjoy every moment of your winter in Aruba adventures!
Embrace the Benefits of Warm Weather This Winter
While winter comes with snow, ice, and plunging temperatures in other parts of the world, a winter getaway to Aruba comes with some exceptionally lovely weather for travelers to enjoy instead! If fun under the sun is exactly your getaway style, swapping out winter parkas for t-shirts is bound to be an inspiring experience. Travelers that find their way to Aruba anytime between December and April can expect to find temperatures lingering in the mid-80s throughout the daytime hours. At night, it’s rare for temperatures to fall past the mid-70s. This opens up plenty of options for outdoor fun because the water temperatures around Aruba also hold onto an average temperature of around 80 degrees Fahrenheit! Winter travelers can count on plenty of blue skies and sunshine as well as the peace of mind that comes with knowing they’ve arrived during the least rainy time of year. Any way you look at it, Aruba provides a picturesque winter getaway destination that you simply won’t want to miss!
Make the Most of Winter Beach Time
It’s hard to imagine anything more refreshing than afternoons spent basking under the sun from a place on the sand when you make your way to Aruba in the winter. Fortunately, those visions can easily be a reality this time of year. Aruba is known and loved for its plethora of stunning shorelines, and winter travelers heading this way will have every reason to check them all out! Both Palm Beach and Eagle Beach are fan-favorite stops amongst locals and visitors alike who are looking to pair sugar white sands with a vibrant atmosphere and proximity to palm trees and turquoise waves as well. Those who are heading to Aruba in the winter with little ones in tow might find a stop at Baby Beach to be the perfect addition to the itinerary. This beach is defined by shallow waters and a calm ambiance, making it great for wading and building sandcastles.
The waters that surround the island of Aruba are notoriously clear, making the island an impeccable winter vacation destination for those with a passion for snorkeling and diving. Reefs, shipwrecks, and an incredible array of marine life promise to make every trip under the waves a one-of-a-kind experience in Aruba. If you’re excited to spend time swimming or snorkeling, focusing on southern and western shore beaches is a good idea. Of course, fun on the waves can be equally appealing this time of year. Those who enjoy windsurfing or kitesurfing will discover world-class conditions waiting for them at places like Malmok Beach!
Explore Iconic Attractions
A winter trip to Aruba is a great opportunity to check out some of the island’s most iconic must-see stops. Among them is Arikok National Park. This oasis of outdoor fun, exploration, and adventure is just as scenic as it is exciting and vital to the ecosystems that make up the island. Arikok National Park covers nearly 20% of Aruba and hosts a dynamic landscape complete with sand dunes, hidden coves, mountain peaks, and rugged coastlines as well. The unspoiled beauty of this protected space allows a variety of wildlife species to thrive alongside island foliage. One of the most popular places for guests to visit within the park is the Natural Pool, which mesmerizes visitors with its calm waters that are surrounded by stunning rock formations.
Enjoy a Restorative Moment
Those that make their way to Aruba this time of year will love how the focus can be on refreshing and restorative moments rather than cold, harsh weather, especially when you find time to visit Aruba Aloe while you’re here. With a reputation as the oldest aloe company on the planet, this production facility dates back to 1890 and provides guided tours to guests looking to learn more about the processing of the aloe plant into products that promote moisturization, healing, and well-being. Follow up your tour with a trip to one of Aruba’s many amazing island spas and treat yourself to a day of rejuvenation that will leave you feeling and looking your best this winter!
