Aruba is more than just a tropical escape; it’s a treasure trove of beauty, culture, and unforgettable experiences. As someone who has called this island home, I’m excited to share my favorite bucket list places with you. These are the spots that capture the heart of Aruba—and yours too—offering a mix of adventure, tranquility, and empowerment. Ladies, pack your brightest smile, your boldest spirit, and maybe even a flowing dress, because Aruba is ready to unveil her magic.
1. Arikok National Park 🌵
Nestled in the rugged beauty of Arikok National Park, this cave is a masterpiece of nature’s artistry. Dramatic stalactites, ancient petroglyphs, and beams of light piercing through openings make it feel like a sacred space. Standing here, you can’t help but feel powerful—a reminder that even in the quietest corners of the world, there is beauty waiting to be discovered.
2. Rodgers Beach 🏖️
While Baby Beach often steals the spotlight, Rodgers Beach is its quieter, equally stunning sister. With its soft sand, turquoise waters, and colorful fishing boats bobbing in the distance, it’s a slice of serenity. This is where the island whispers, reminding you to slow down and soak in the moment.
Why I Love It: This beach has an unpolished charm that makes it perfect for intimate photoshoots or simply enjoying Aruba’s authentic vibe.
3. Westpunt’s Cliffside Views 🪨
Head to the island’s wild side and be prepared to have your breath taken away. Westpunt offers panoramic views of the ocean crashing against dramatic cliffs. There’s something about standing on the edge of the island, the wind in your hair, that makes you feel unstoppable.
4. Mangel Halto 🤿
Known for its crystal-clear waters and mangrove pathways, Mangel Halto is a dream for snorkeling enthusiasts. But it’s also a deeply peaceful spot, where the turquoise lagoon meets a maze of mangroves. It’s a place where you can reconnect with yourself, with nature, and with the quiet power of the ocean.
5. California Lighthouse 💡
This iconic landmark is more than just a pretty backdrop. Perched on the northern tip of the island, it offers 360-degree views of Aruba’s rugged coastline and desert landscapes. It’s the perfect place to reflect on your journey and feel on top of the world—literally.
Insider Tip: Time your visit with golden hour for photos that will make your Instagram pop.
6. The Natural Bridge 🌊
Though the original Natural Bridge collapsed years ago, its smaller sibling remains a stunning reminder of Aruba’s geological wonders. Watching the waves crash against this formation, you can’t help but admire the resilience of nature—a sentiment that resonates with strong women everywhere.

8. The Butterfly Farm 🦋
Step into a world of fluttering colors at the Butterfly Farm, where hundreds of butterflies dance through lush gardens. It’s a magical experience that reminds us of transformation—the beauty of embracing change and spreading our wings.
