The 8 Best All-Inclusive Resorts in Aruba

Aruba is a small Caribbean island known for its gorgeous blue waters, palm trees and white sandy beaches. But Aruba has fewer true all-inclusive resorts than destinations like Mexico or the Dominican Republic.

The properties that do go all-inclusive here are worth it, though and several are AAA Diamond-designated to prove it. We’ve rounded up the best all-inclusive resorts in Aruba, from fully bundled stays to resorts that offer all-inclusive as an optional add-on, so you can match the right property to your trip.

Divi Aruba All-Inclusive is one of the more popular all-inclusive resorts in Aruba, particularly for honeymooners and couples. This oceanfront resort is located on Druif Beach, just 30 minutes from the Aruba Airport. It offers all-inclusive honeymoon packages that include a free bottle of bubbly, preferred room choice and even a free night toward an anniversary stay.

The resort features 11 all-inclusive dining options and eight bars, along with three pools and plenty of entertainment choices to pick from to fill up your days. You’ll also have access to Indulgence by the Sea (their full-service spa), beachfront cabanas, rental cars, bike rentals and free Wi-Fi.

Plus, all 261 units have an outdoor feature, such as a patio or balcony, for private sunbathing. Guests of the Divi Aruba also have access to the amenities at Tamarijn Aruba, just next door.

Tamarijn Aruba is the partner resort to Divi Aruba, located just next door on the same stretch of oceanfront beach. Guests of the Tamarijn Aruba have access to the amenities offered at Divi Aruba and vice versa.

The Tamarijn Aruba is perfect for traveling with children and is actually listed among the best all-inclusive Caribbean resorts for families. Its 236 rooms are spacious and have 55” smart TVs—great for entertaining kids between daily activities. With five restaurants, a full bar, a spa, cabanas and recreation programs, the resort gives families plenty to do without ever leaving the property.

Most importantly, the Tamarijn offers a family package that offers free play, stay and eat for kids ages 12 and under. The hotel can help you plan various family-fun adventures, including trips to the donkey sanctuary, butterfly farm, Aruba Ostrich farm and De Palm Island.

Secrets Baby Beach Aruba is the island’s newest adults-only all-inclusive. With 304 suites, it's also one of the largest resorts on Aruba, making it a standout for couples who want a quieter, oceanfront alternative to the busier Palm Beach strip.

Open only to guests 18 and older, its Unlimited-Luxury plan covers chef-prepared dining across seven restaurants, premium spirits and round-the-clock room service. Set on the calmer southern coast near Baby Beach, the resort’s suites include Preferred Club upgrades with private plunge pools. Guests can also unwind at the infinity pools and full-service spa.

Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort sits oceanfront in the heart of Oranjestad, steps from the Renaissance Marketplace. It offers an optional all-inclusive package in addition to its standard room rates, making it one of the best in Aruba for travelers who want flexibility.

Its adults-only Marina Hotel tower sits across from the family-friendly Ocean Suites, so couples and families can each find their own atmosphere while sharing access to eight restaurants, a full bar, a spa, a kids’ club and a casino.

The resort’s standout feature is Renaissance Island, a private 40-acre retreat reachable only by the hotel’s own ferry. Guests can spend the day on a secluded beach visited by wild flamingos, relax in private cabanas and cool off in the water without ever seeing a nearby hotel’s crowd.

Resort At-a-Glance:

The Divi Village Golf & Beach Resort is ideal for groups, especially golfers or those who like to stay active. It sits across the street from Druif Beach rather than directly on the sand, but what it lacks in beach proximity, it makes up for on the green. The resort's nine-hole golf course and driving range offer Divi guests preferred tee times.

Suites at the resort can accommodate up to 12 guests and include a private deck or balcony, so there’s plenty of room for the entire party.

The resort also includes fitness and water sports centers, pickleball and tennis courts and several pools to keep groups entertained throughout the trip. After a long day of playing in the sun, you can grab casual bites at Mulligan's Bar & Restaurant or something more upscale at Windows on Aruba.

Rooms here book on a room-only basis by default, so meals and drinks aren’t automatically included the way they are at a fully all-inclusive resort. Add the optional Signature All-Inclusive package to get unlimited dining and drinks. It also includes a daily round of golf, shared across both Divi Village and its sister property next door, Divi Dutch Village Beach Resort.

Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort is a beautiful Dutch Colonial-inspired resort that’s just a five-minute drive from downtown Oranjestad. This inclusive resort is for all ages and perfect for both honeymoon trips and family adventures.

The resort features a quaint pool with a waterfall, a beachfront restaurant and a lounge space ideal for watching the sunset. Guests also get free bike rentals, free parking, a kids’ pool, in-room dining and a second lounge for evening drinks.

The boutique hotel has just 72 rooms but offers a variety of accommodations: a honeymoon suite for newlyweds, a two-bedroom suite ideal for families. This is also a pet-friendly resort for those traveling with four-legged friends.

Rates here are room-only by default, with meals and drinks billed separately at the resort’s restaurant and bars. Add the optional All-Inclusive Add-On package to bundle in meals and drinks for the length of your stay—kids 4 to 11 get a half-price discount and kids 3 and under eat free.

Resort At-a-Glance:

Holiday Inn Resort Aruba is one of the buzziest resorts in Aruba, it sits oceanfront on Palm Beach, the island’s high-rise strip lined with shopping and nightlife. This area is a livelier contrast to the Eagle Beach and the Druif Beach cluster, where most other resorts on this list are located.

The 590-room resort spreads across three towers and puts you within walking distance of Palm Beach Plaza. Between the beachfront pools, five on-site restaurants, its own casino and a kids club, it’s an easy home base whether you’re traveling with friends or the whole family.

If you book the room rate alone, meals are on you. Add the all-inclusive rate instead and breakfast, lunch, dinner and house-brand beer and cocktails are covered, plus a $75 spa credit and 25% off water activities. Room service and premium liquor still cost extra either way.

Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa sits oceanfront on Eagle Beach and is surrounded by gorgeous palm trees and gardens. The resort has 72 rooms and suites, with views of the ocean or the beautiful garden. Manchebo is best known for Spa De Sol, a full-service beachside spa that offers a range of therapeutic services.

The resort also offers an amazing all-inclusive culinary package that you can add on to your stay. It includes à la carte meals at several of its restaurants, a premium open bar and one dinner off-property, with a minimum stay of four nights.

Room service offers the same dining flexibility in your suite. Additional amenities, including free Wi-Fi and complimentary yoga and Pilates classes at the on-site fitness studio, round out the offerings.

Yes, all-inclusive is worth it if you want to set a fixed budget for your Aruba vacations. An all-inclusive package bundles your meals, drinks and often activities into one price. If you’d rather explore restaurants on your own, a room-only stay on one of the other Caribbean islands might suit that style better.

Most Aruba all-inclusive resorts cluster around Eagle Beach, Druif Beach and Palm Beach, all on the island’s calmer western coast. Families who want to stay close to fun family activities near the beach usually prefer Palm Beach, while couples looking for quiet often choose Eagle Beach or Druif Beach.

Rates vary by resort and season, but a four-night all-inclusive stay for two on an Aruba vacation typically runs from around $1,100 to $1,500 per person. Adults-only and luxury properties sit at the higher end.

Most Aruba all-inclusive packages include daily meals, house-brand drinks, hotel taxes and some resort activities. Extras like spa treatments, motorized water sports and premium liquor are often not included, so check each resort’s fine print before you book.

Whether you’re drawn to a newly opened adults-only escape or a longtime family favorite, these Aruba resorts make for one of the Caribbean’s easiest bucket list destinations to check off.
