Make a Home in Aruba
Imagine morning views overlooking the crystal clear waters of Aruba. Take a mid-morning stroll along the sandy beachfront or partake in an afternoon snorkeling session. When evening rolls around, venture minutes away to nearby San Nicolas for a delicious, fresh seafood dinner. Or head over to Oranjestad for some gambling or dancing to lively calypso music before retreating back home under the stars along the sea. It’s all possible at The Water’s Edge.
Aruba is south of the hurricane belt, making direct hits from hurricanes rare.
The last hurricane to even touch the iland was in 2007, which was a level 2 causing minor damage.
Dining & Nightlife
San Nicolas offers dining and nightlife experiences at all levels and tastes from high-end cuisine inside a 100-year-old mansion to local flip-flop-style dive bars. Visit the local mainstay, Charlie’s Bar, famous for its underwater items found and displayed on its walls by scuba divers dating back to the 1940s.
A short 30-minute drive will bring you to Aruba’s capital city - Oranjestad, an upbeat town filled with gourmet restaurants, gambling, and entertainment. Dining opportunities span nearly all types of cuisine, representing the island’s diverse culture. Follow dinner with drinks and dancing along the stunning shoreline in both low-key and vibrant settings. On Tuesday evenings, enjoy the Bon Bini Festival filled with dance, music, and culinary delights.
Shopping
The city’s second largest city of San Nicolas is located nearby, offering markets for your daily needs, boutique shops for casual browsing, and art galleries for discovering local artists. Join in on the Caribbean Festival every Thursday night where you’ll experience music, shows, crafts, and traditional homemade cuisine.
For additional shopping and cultural opportunities, venture up to Oranjestad. Shop well-known international luxury retailers as well as local boutiques. View architecture and landmarks, visit the Historical Museum, or attend the Cas di Cultura national theatre.
The Location & Beach
Located on the southwest side of the island, The Water’s Edge enjoys a quieter, more peaceful atmosphere than the more exuberant northern region.
