Aruba

Aruba - the Honeymoon Capital of the Caribbean. Posh resorts bordering silky white-sand strands along its west coast provide respite for stressed newlyweds and hopping nightlife, casinos and nightclubs go Euro-style into the wee hours. Capital Oranjsted is at once cosmopolitan and quaint. Its array international dining options is as good as any in the Caribbean and duty-free shopping abounds. But perhaps the most precious of the island's treasures is its people, a mixture of more than 40 nationalities, including Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, African, English and French.

Aruba is a 32 km long island in the Caribbean Sea, 27 km north of the Paraguaná Peninsula, Falcón State, Venezuela, and it forms a part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Unlike much of the Caribbean region, it has a dry climate and an arid, cactus-strewn landscape. This climate has helped tourism as visitors to the island can reliably expect warm, sunny weather.
