An independent travel guide to Aruba since 2008
In-Aruba.com is an independent travel guide about Aruba. The website has been online since 2008 and helps travellers plan their holiday on the island: from the best beaches and things to do to restaurants, hotels, events and practical travel information.
Who is behind In-Aruba.com
In-Aruba.com is made by Michel from the Netherlands. I have visited Aruba many times. Friends served with the Dutch Marine Corps (Korps Mariniers) and were stationed on the island for long periods, and friends and family of mine lived there. Over the years I got to know the island well, and I have always had a great time there. I will keep going back for many years to come.
This website is my way of sharing what I know about Aruba, so that you can get the most out of your trip.

How we work
We base our information on official and first-hand sources, such as the Aruba Tourism Authority, the Government of Aruba and the websites of the businesses and organisers themselves. In September 2026 the whole website was reviewed and updated: outdated pages were removed and hundreds of pages were rewritten. Every page shows when it was last updated.
Prices, opening hours and event dates change regularly, so always check the latest details with the business or organiser before you go.
Independent
In-Aruba.com has no business relationship with the hotels, restaurants or other businesses mentioned on this website. We do not accept payment for listings or reviews, and we do not use affiliate links. The website is free to use and is funded by advertisements from Google.
Forum archive
