Aruba Blue Village

Aruba Blue Village is a low-rise apartment resort in Noord, on Aruba's north coast, a short run from the island's beaches, bars and restaurants. The property holds 130 apartments in total: fifty studios and one- and two-bedroom units for holidaymakers, and seventy more set aside for long-term guests working or studying on the island. Tiled floors keep the rooms cool underfoot. Each apartment opens onto a private patio with seating, looking over the pool and the tropical garden that wraps the grounds. The two-bedroom apartment runs to 57 square metres, with twin beds in each bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room for a fifth guest. Kitchens come fitted with a microwave, fridge, single cooking plate and coffee machine, enough for a family to self-cater between beach days. Two pools anchor the grounds, and the on-site restaurant and bar, the Amigos, serves breakfast and dinner daily, with a happy hour in the evening. Wi-Fi runs free across the whole park. Front desk staff, on duty from 8am to 9pm, arrange tours, transport and activities around the island, from Arikok National Park to the wrecks and reefs offshore. Check-in starts at 3pm. Parking is free and secure.
