Know Before You Go
It’s safe throughout the seasons.
Aruba sits outside the hurricane belt, making it an ideal destination to travel throughout the year.
The weather is reliably delightful, with temperatures hovering in the mid-80s and an ever-present light breeze.
Book ahead of time.
Aruba is an extremely popular destination, especially as new hotels open across the island.
Go off-campus.
The island is just 20 miles long and easy to navigate and explore.
Dont be afraid to rent a car and explore or book a tour to take you across the island.
Visit during the summer for savings.
While Aruba is a great vacation destination year-round, its incredibly tempting during the winter.
Because of that, visitors can often find off-season deals in the summer months.
If your schedule is flexible, consider traveling to allow you to splurge with your savings.
