Around

San Nicolas Street Murals

Just minutes from the resort, the charming town of San Nicolas — known as Aruba's "Sunrise City" — is home to a celebrated open-air gallery of large-scale murals created by local and international artists. The vibrant street art reflects the island's Caribbean culture, history, and identity, transforming the town's walls into a living, colorful canvas. It's an easy, walkable cultural experience that pairs beautifully with a visit to local spots like Zeerovers, an authentic Aruban seafood eatery beloved by locals.

Arikok National Park

Covering nearly 20% of the entire island, Arikok National Park is Aruba's most iconic natural landmark — a vast, dramatic landscape of desert terrain, volcanic rock formations, ancient limestone caves, and rugged coastline unlike anything else in the Caribbean. Within the park you'll find Quadirikiri Cave, illuminated naturally through holes in its roof, as well as indigenous Caquetio rock drawings in Fontein Cave that date back thousands of years. The Vader Piet entrance is just minutes from the resort, making it one of the most accessible adventures of the trip.

Conchi Natural Pool (Natural Pool)

One of Aruba's most iconic and sought-after natural attractions, Conchi — meaning "bowl" in Papiamento — is a naturally formed swimming hole enclosed by volcanic and limestone rocks that shield it from the crashing surf of the open sea. Located deep within Arikok National Park, reaching it requires a 4x4 vehicle, ATV tour, or a guided jeep safari, which adds to the sense of adventure. Once there, guests can swim and snorkel in calm, crystal-clear water surrounded by some of the island's most dramatic and untouched coastal scenery.

Boca Grandi Beach

Located on Aruba's wild southeastern coastline just a short drive from the resort, Boca Grandi is a breathtaking, unspoiled beach known for its powerful trade winds, dramatic waves, and sweeping views of the rugged coastline. It is one of the island's premier destinations for kitesurfing and windsurfing, attracting enthusiasts from around the world, though its scenery alone makes it worth a visit even for those simply seeking a quieter, more raw Caribbean experience away from the resort strips. The beach's natural beauty and isolation make it one of Aruba's best-kept secrets.
