Aruba Travel OverviewAruba is a lively island with high-rise resorts and posh casinos lining its white-sand beaches. You'll find plenty of things to do; too: sunbathing; world-class windsurfing and waterskiing by day; and discos; cabarets; dinner shows and high-stakes gambling at night. Aruba was acquired by the Dutch in the 17th century. However; it's no longer officially a member of the Netherlands Antilles group. Since 1986; it has been a 'separate entity within the Kingdom of the Netherlands .' But because of its proximity to Bonaire and Curacao ; the other members of the so-called 'ABC Islands;' many people continue to lump them together. Actually; all three islands have been influenced as much by Venezuela . Aruba is just 24 km (approx. 15 miles) off the coast of Venezuela. It is mostly flat and arid; scattered with fields of cacti and aloe plants. To get updated information on the island of Aruba visit our website at: www.aruba.com Popular Destinations |
