Bonbini, in our native language of Papiamento, means "Welcome".
Welcome to
Aruba.
The word is ours. But we like to think the meaning is universal.
Diane Keijzer Our beaches curve like an Aruban smile along the
western shores, soft and white and fringed with palm trees, sloping
gently toward the calm transparent turquoise of the
Caribbean.
The waves of the windward coast crash like incessant thunder
against the northern cliffs, carving high, arched coral bridges and
deep, dark secret limestone grottoes.
Between the two extremes, in a desert landscape where the cacti
grow to the height of a man, great building-sized tumbles of
boulders stand like the legacy of some ancient, angry god. Winding
roads lead to rocky passes and hidden coves, or sometimes to
nowhere at all. Giant green parakeets call to their mates, and
troupials flash brilliant orange against the deep blue of the
Caribbean sky.
This is not the Caribbean as usual. This is Aruba! And if its true
that opposites attract, then this could well be the most attractive
island of them all. The fact is, if you're looking for it, and if
it has anything to do with a great Caribbean getaway, you can
probably find it here in Aruba.
Aruba Tourism Authority As you explore, as you get to know Aruba,
you'll soon begin to notice the smiling faces everywhere. Real
smiles. Gracious smiles. Sheer-joy-of-living smiles. Aruba, as any
traveler here will tell you, must surely be among the most
welcoming places on Earth.
Maybe its the Dutch tradition of hospitality. Maybe its the long
and prosperous history of the island. Maybe its the year-round
warmth of the sunshine and the fresh breezes of the tradewinds.
More than likely, its all those things and more. But whatever it
is, its absolutely true: Aruba is a genuinely happy place to be.
And the people who live here, in the cities, in the villages, in
the countryside, are genuinely happy to be sharing it with
you.
So, sit back, relax and explore our website, where you will find
many things to do, places to go and things to see, as well as
important information to help you plan your visit to Aruba, "One
Happy Island".
