Why visit in May

May is an appealing time to visit Aruba, with warm temperatures, plenty of sunshine and a relaxed atmosphere. The island sits outside the main hurricane belt, and its consistently breezy conditions make the heat easier to enjoy on the beach or beside the pool.

It is also a quieter period than the busiest winter months. You can often find more choice in hotels, restaurants and excursions, while popular beaches still have room to spread out. For couples and families seeking an easy-going break, May offers a good balance of weather and value.

Where to stay

Palm Beach is a convenient choice for a first visit. Its long sandy shoreline is backed by hotels, watersports centres, restaurants and shops, so you can enjoy a lively holiday without needing to travel far each day.

Eagle Beach is a little more peaceful and is known for its broad sands and striking fofoti trees. It suits travellers who want a quieter base, while Oranjestad offers colourful buildings, local history, waterfront dining and easy access to the island’s cultural sights.

Things to do

Aruba is about more than beach time. Take a catamaran cruise for swimming and snorkelling, explore the clear water around the coast, or book a sunset sail when the sea turns gold. The steady trade winds also make the island popular for windsurfing and kitesurfing.

For a change of scenery, visit Arikok National Park, where rugged hills, cacti and dramatic coastal views reveal a different side of the island. You can also see natural rock formations, historic chapels and colourful street art before settling down to fresh seafood or an evening drink.
