About Oranjestad
Oranjestad is Aruba's colorful capital—a walkable port town where Dutch colonial architecture meets Caribbean colors. The island itself is remarkably arid for the Caribbean, with consistently perfect weather and minimal rainfall. Eagle Beach stretches near town, while the island's southern coast offers calm water and beach bars. Aruba's tagline One Happy Island captures the relentlessly positive vibe.
