Aruba has year-round warm weather and many fine white sand beaches. A wide range of water sports are available including scuba diving, snorkelling, kite surfing, windsurfing, water skiing, kayaking, fishing and sailing.

The capital, Oranjestad is worth a visit for the brightly-coloured old buildings and Fort Zoutman can be visited. It also houses the historical museum. The landscape is arid and rugged, yet scenic and a hike to the top of Hooiberg Hill provides great views over the small island.

Most goods need to be imported so many things here are expensive.
