Its proximity to Palm Beach provides guests with easy access to one of the island's most beautiful beaches. Known for its personalized services and relaxed, home-away-from-home atmosphere, the hotel provides an ideal retreat for those looking to unwind while still being close to local attractions.

During my recent visit to the Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba, I was thoroughly impressed by the serene and intimate atmosphere. This sets it apart from the larger resorts on the island. It is nestled within a lush tropical oasis, just a short stroll from Palm Beach. This charming boutique hotel offers a unique escape for travelers seeking tranquility, authenticity and personalized service. The property’s casitas are each individually designed with a vibrant Caribbean flair. They provide a home-away-from-home experience with private patios, hammocks and fully equipped kitchens or kitchenettes. As an adults-only resort, it is perfect for couples and honeymooners looking for a peaceful retreat.
Guests rave about the hotel’s lush gardens, secluded ambiance and exceptional service. This makes it a favorite for those looking to unwind in a quiet, picturesque setting. The two pools, including the serene Coco Pool, offer a relaxing alternative to the bustling beachfront. The on-site Boardwalk Beach Club ensures easy access to reserved palapas and lounge chairs along Aruba’s famous white sands. Wellness seekers will love the complimentary yoga sessions. Foodies can indulge in a curated list of local dining recommendations or order breakfast delivered straight to their casita. The hotel also offers complimentary beach gear, snorkeling equipment and paddleboards, adding a touch of adventure for guests who want to explore beyond the resort.
Perfect for discerning travelers who appreciate privacy, nature and a boutique-style experience. Boardwalk Boutique Hotel is ideal for romantic getaways, solo retreats and small groups of friends looking to enjoy Aruba’s beauty at a relaxed pace. Unlike larger resorts, this hidden gem offers a personalized, eco-friendly experience with sustainability at its core. This makes it an excellent choice for those who value both comfort and conscious travel. Whether unwinding in a hammock, savoring a tropical cocktail by the pool or exploring the island’s natural wonders, guests will find Boardwalk to be a peaceful sanctuary that captures the essence of an unforgettable Caribbean escape.
