The Ultimate Romantic Getaway to Aruba
Aruba is one of the most visited countries in the Caribbean for a reason.
You will be in awe of the white sand beaches, crystal clear water, delicious meals and delightful moments awaiting you. Here is your ultimate 3-day guide on a romantic getaway to Aruba.
Day 1: Check into Bucuti & Tara and Sunset Picnic
Once you land in Aruba, secure your transportation around the island with Amigo Rental Cars located in the airport. After, check into the beautiful Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, voted the #1 Resort in the Caribbean on TripAdvisor.
Upon arrival, you will receive a welcome glass of champagne and be greeted with the most incredible staff. Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is an adult-only hotel, providing you with quiet moments and tranquil views. Bucuti & Tara is located perfectly on Eagle Beach, coined one of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
The rooms are spacious and comfortable with sustainability features. Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort is a carbon-neutral resort with sustainable efforts like solar panel-powered energy, monthly beach clean up, sourcing local suppliers and products in Aruba, and salt water chlorination process.
Every morning, enjoy a complimentary breakfast buffet inside the recently renovated Tara lounge or dine outside with views of the Caribbean Sea. You can even reserve your beach chair with the tablet in your room each evening at 5pm for the following day. We absolutely loved this feature!
Take a refreshing dip in the stunning 24-hour pool and hot tub, the perfect way to unwind in the afternoon and rejuvenate after your flight.
End your first evening in Aruba with an unforgettable sunset picnic with Picnic Aruba on Palm Beach. This experience is perfect for engagements, honeymoons, anniversaries, and birthdays. Our sunset picnic was so romantic and we enjoyed the gorgeous colors of an Aruban backdrop.
We were so pleased with the attention to detail that truly made this moment special for our 5th wedding anniversary - beautiful memory we will cherish forever.
Day 2: Boat Tour and Romantic Dinner
Start your second day of romance with a boat tour to the Mangel Halto. I highly recommend booking with Pelican Adventure Aruba; their staff and service will make your special day so memorable. When you arrive, you will be given a welcome drink and refreshments as you set sail to really relax and unwind.
Once at the Mangel Halto, you have the choice to swim in the gorgeous blue water, lounge in the water hammock, or kayak to see the views from above.
Return to Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort to freshen up, relax, and rest before dinner. Make a reservation at Wilhelmina for fine dining and a gorgeous atmosphere. Wilhelmina offers international cuisine with a Caribbean flair for a romantic evening of rekindling love. You will enjoy the garden-like decor and beautiful candle lighting for an elevated date night.
Day 3: Couples Massage and Rum & Winery Tour
Wake up and replenish yourself with a wonderful breakfast at the Tara Lounge. After breakfast, book a couple’s massage at the wonderful beachfront spa at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. You can look forward to the sound of waves, slow and focused massaging, and tranquil moments. Your couple’s massage will be relaxing, romantic, and will refresh you after an eventful weekend.
Last on your itinerary, book the afternoon tour at Alto Vista Winery for a cute date night idea. The tour begins in the gorgeous vineyard, viewing the Aruban grapes and overlooking the Caribbean Sea. I loved this romantic moment for us to stroll together and marvel at nature’s beauty. We enjoyed seeing the innovative way wine is produced in Aruba followed by a delicious tasting menu of a selection of wine and cheese.
This pairing is thoughtful, intricate and easily will be one of your favorite activities in Aruba. As a bonus you will taste a signature Red Star Rum cocktail, which was our best drink on the island!
This evening was a special treat we will always remember.
Finish your last night at Gianni’s Restaurant, an Italian classic hot spot in Aruba.
Gianni’s Restaurant is known for their table-side pasta and authentic Italian staples. You will love their romantic lighting, incredible service, and candles to set the charming mood for an evening of passion.. I highly recommend you order the seafood pasta special and the sorbetto al limonewhen you visit!
Our time in Aruba was spent slowing down and appreciating moments together. As parents, we are constantly tending to our responsibilities, but in Aruba we got the opportunity to spark romance again. We enjoyed the uninterrupted quiet moments together at Bucuti and Tara Beach Resort, Eagle Beach, and all around the island.
Aruba is an island where you can truly disconnect from your busy schedule and reconnect with your love. We loved the opportunity to unwind and relax in nature. Aruba will be your second home destination, a place that is your One Happy Island.
