The Dutch took charge of the island in 1636, and things remained relatively quiet until gold was discovered in the 1800s. After the Spanish conquered the island in 1499, Aruba was basically left alone, since it held little in the way of agricultural or mineral wealth. On the south coast, the action is nonstop both day and night whereas the rugged north coast boasts a desolate beauty that calls to those who seek solitude in nature.Īs with Bonaire and Curaçao, the island was originally populated by the Caquetio, an Amerindian people related to the Arawak. The countryside is dotted with colorful cunucu (country-style houses) and stretches out into a cacti-studded rocky desert landscape that becomes Arikok National Park-a protected preserve covering 20% of the island's landmass.Īruba not only has beautiful beaches and world-class resorts, but also near-perfect weather: It's outside the hurricane belt and receives just 20 inches of rainfall per year and has constant cooling trade winds. Smith Boulevard (aka 'The Strip') is lined with cafés, designer stores, restaurants, and Palm Beach Plaza, a modern shopping mall. The resort is 10 minutes from Oranjestad Main Square and 20 minutes from Queen Beatrix International Airport.Cruise ships gleam in Oranjestad Harbour, and thousands of eager tourists spill out into downtown Oranjestad.
