Aruba is famous for powder thin white sand beachesbordered by the calm and inviting sea, especially along the west coast. Also great about Aruba is its pleasant year round climate.

Aruba is known as One Happy Island. It's culturally diverse with is a population that's 80 percent mixed and 20 percent other ethnicities. The modern day Aruban is a blend of over 40 nationalities in addition to the original Arawak inhabitants. Just as Hawaii is famous for Aloha, Aruba is famous for 'Bon bini'. That's Papiamento for 'Welcome'.
