Aparthotels & serviced apartments in Palm-Eagle Beach

9 stays · 7 aparthotels and 2 serviced apartments

Aparthotels and serviced apartments are a popular choice at Palm-Eagle Beach, Aruba's main resort coast, because most stays here are week-long beach holidays where a kitchen and separate living space earn their keep. Wikivoyage notes that Aruba imports about half its groceries from the United States, so familiar brands are easy to find for self-catering. For a general comparison, see aparthotel vs hotel.

Where to stay in Palm-Eagle Beach

Palm Beach

  • beach holidays
  • nightlife
  • water sports

VisitAruba says Palm Beach runs along the high-rise hotel strip and is full of action. Wikivoyage describes calm water and white sand with excellent swimming, reachable by bus, car or taxi. It is the busier of the two beaches, so choose it if you want restaurants, activity and beach facilities close to hand.

Eagle Beach

  • quieter stays
  • families
  • beach holidays

Wikipedia calls Eagle Beach the widest beach on Aruba, and the Aruba Tourism Authority says it has soft white sand, parking, shade, some beach huts and water sports. The same site says most sea turtle nests on the island are found here, and that it has two of the most photographed fofoti trees in Aruba. Low-rise hotels sit nearby or across the road.

Stays in or near Eagle Beach

Oranjestad

  • shopping
  • culture
  • cruise arrivals

Wikipedia describes Oranjestad as the capital, with Dutch Colonial architecture, the late 18th-century Fort Zoutman and Main Street shopping. It lies south-east of the beaches and suits visitors who want a town base. The same article puts Queen Beatrix International Airport 2.5 km from downtown.

Getting around Palm-Eagle Beach

Wikivoyage says Queen Beatrix International Airport handles all commercial flights and offers US customs preclearance for flights to the United States. Wikipedia says the airport is 2.5 km from downtown Oranjestad. The Aruba Tourism Authority suggests arranging airport transport beforehand, and lists taxis and transfer services.

For getting around, the Aruba Tourism Authority names the Arubus public bus, taxis and car rental, and Wikivoyage says buses, cars and taxis all serve Palm Beach. The Aruba Tourism Authority's Eagle Beach page lists public transportation access. Wikivoyage says a car is not completely necessary as many restaurants, beaches and shops are within walking distance.

Living in Palm-Eagle Beach for longer

For longer stays, an apartment-style base near a supermarket matters. Wikivoyage says Aruba imports about half its groceries from the United States and a significant portion from the Netherlands, so brands will be familiar to many visitors. Check the opening times at the supermarket you plan to use.

Eagle Beach is the calmer base for a longer stay, and Palm Beach is the choice if you want the full resort scene. Our notes on serviced apartments for relocation list what to ask about when planning a month-long stay.

The coast splits into two feels.
