Aruba sits outside the Caribbean hurricane belt, which means it gets 320 days of sunshine per year and virtually no storm risk — making it the Caribbean's most weather-reliable destination. The southwest coast is protected from the Atlantic by the island's spine, creating the calm, crystal-clear conditions of Eagle Beach and Palm Beach. The northeast coast, battered by the trade winds, has a dramatically different character: wild, windswept and home to the iconic Natural Pool and the rugged Arikok National Park. Aruba is also one of the Caribbean's most cosmopolitan islands, with food from dozens of different cultures available in Oranjestad.
When to go: Genuinely warm and sunny year-round. Outside the hurricane belt so no seasonal weather risk.
The best months to visit Aruba are January, February, March. Peak season is May with the best combination of warm temperatures and low rainfall.
