Relax on white-sand beaches and discover other fun things to do in Aruba

Plan your dream Caribbean getaway to the Radisson Blu Aruba, where you’ll be a three-minute walk from the white-sand strip of Palm Beach, a popular destination for waterskiing, snorkeling, parasailing, and catamaran cruises. You’ll also find an eclectic mix of bars, restaurants, and shops right outside your hotel suite. While it’s tempting to spend your time on the island’s beautiful beaches, there are many other things to do in Aruba. For an unforgettable experience, discover the secluded northern coast on a horseback tour or explore rugged trails and dramatic caves in Arikok National Park. If you want to immerse yourself in lively local culture, visit during annual celebrations such as Carnival, Soul Beach Music Festival, and the Aruba Open Beach Tennis Championships.
