Family-friendly and adults-only all-inclusives
Aruba has fewer all-inclusive resorts than many other Caribbean islands. That is a deliberate choice: Aruba passed a law that limits all-inclusive rooms to a maximum of 40% of all hotel rooms, so that visitors keep spending money at local restaurants, shops and tour operators.
Still, there are good all-inclusive options for both families and couples.
Family-friendly all-inclusives
- Hotel Riu Palace Aruba – large 24-hour all-inclusive on Palm Beach, reopened in September 2026 after a renovation
- Barceló Aruba – all-inclusive on Palm Beach
- Divi Aruba All Inclusive – on Druif Beach since 1969
- Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusive – oceanfront rooms, shares facilities with Divi Aruba
Adults-only all-inclusives
- Hotel Riu Palace Antillas – adults-only on Palm Beach, formerly The Westin
- JOIA Aruba by Iberostar – on Eagle Beach, opened in December 2024
- Secrets Baby Beach Aruba – in the south near Baby Beach, opened in 2025
All-inclusive as an option
- Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort – all-inclusive packages available
- Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa – room-only, with an optional all-inclusive plan
Tips
- Aruba has an excellent restaurant scene. If you like to eat out, a room-only stay is often better value.
- Check what is included: premium drinks, à la carte restaurants and water sports are not always part of the package.
- Taxes and service charges are sometimes added on top of the package price.
