It's a dreamy location close to the equator

It all started 30 years ago. I was 17 and went on vacation with my parents to this island no one had ever heard of before. It was absolutely incredible then and getting better every year since.

Oranjestad

Beautiful downtown Aruba with its alluring yachts and friendly shops. If you love jewellery as much as i do there are many ranges of exquisite jewellery shops to choose from. High end shopping and a wide range of retail therapy to quench your vacay vibe.

Noord
@TaraDigitalLifestyle
One of my favourite little spots on the island. I found the most quaint little villa to rent when i'm not at my timeshare. Its called Apartment Villa Valentina. The owner Frank and his adorable pets are the most welcoming and hospitable. I look forward to their warm smiles. The alto vista kapel and palm beach are a must for visitors. The paseo herencia mall is all lively at night. The whole uptown which i call it , is all lite up with vendors, shopping, music and food.

Savaneta
@TaraDigitalLifestyle
Is home to Zeerover. The best local, fresh fish family hang out on the water. They serve the fish and shrimp they catch. Fresh cut fries and local sides. I always enjoy the Chill beer while i watch the waves and crabs go by. They are super friendly and i've never left hungry.

Costa Linda Beach Resort
@TaraDigitalLifestyle
This has been my home away from home for the last 30 years. We have been going since its opening. My folks took us there over the march break all those years ago. Then they went for awhile over December. For the last 13 years its been October or May. Sometimes both. The resort makes you feel safe and secure. The memories built are eternal. I feel blessed to have had the chance to enjoy it so much.
