Aruba
Oranjestad
Constant sun, desert looks, and Eagle Beach.
A pastel capital on a dry, bright island with reliable sun and a wild interior.
Oranjestad is the pastel Dutch capital of an island that barely sees rain. Beyond its colourful colonial streets lie divi-divi trees bent flat by the trade winds, the rugged Arikok desert national park, the wave-sheltered Natural Pool, and the wide white sweep of Eagle Beach. The weather is so consistent it feels guaranteed.
