There are many reasons to take a vacation in Aruba, especially this time of year. But here are the top 5 reasons people love to visit Aruba in the winter:

Picture-Perfect Weather

When traveling to particular destinations, you usually have to take a gamble on the weather. It’s rare to be able to guarantee warmth and sunshine, but Aruba will provide you with just that! December through April provide consistent temperatures in the mid-80s during the day and mid-70s at night. Aruba offers dry, comfortable heat and cloud-free skies so you can soak up those glorious rays. Even the water temperatures live in the 80s, allowing you to float and swim all day long.

Pristine Beaches

Winter in Aruba means plenty of beach time! The beaches on this island are famous for their beautiful white sand and crystal blue waters. The most popular and well-known are Eagle Beach and Palm Beach, both continually making the “Best Beaches in the World” list. These beaches are calm, spacious, and tranquil.
