To all the sunshine seekers still defrosting from winter, are you craving a little spring getaway to warm up? If so, you may just want to put Aruba at the top of your destination options. Check out our list below to learn why spring makes for the perfect time to visit Aruba!
Lower Rates
Visiting Aruba after high season ends means you’re likely to take advantage of lower airfare and accommodation rates. The high season officially comes to a close beginning of April. Make sure to book your trip in April or May (or look ahead into the summer months for friendly prices as well).

No spring showers
Spring falls outside of Aruba’s rainy season! Yes, Aruba has a rainy season. Our island tends to see more rainfall beginning in October and November and lasting through January. However, if showers occur, they are typically brief and the sunshine returns soon thereafter (so don’t you worry). In the event of a nearby passing tropical storm, rainfall can be heavier and last longer than usual.
With this being said, if you travel to Aruba during the Spring, you are even more likely to avoid any real rain event, no showers, just warm sunshine!
Less Crowds
After high season ends, you will also be able to take advantage of perhaps the best treat of all, less crowds and more open space to explore the island! Enjoy more wide open space on each of the breathtaking beaches of the island, room to explore the island’s best sights & attractions without bumping into crowds, and you will have an all-around easier time making last-minute restaurant and tour & activity reservations.
Keep in mind the island can get a bit busier during popular holidays or school vacation periods, however the crowds do not compare to those during the winter months.

Easy to explore
In addition to the lesser crowds, our island is rather small in size. So, if you can only manage to book a quick getaway, you still have the opportunity to explore much of the island and enjoy as many relaxing beach days as possible!
Aruba is only about 21 miles long and 6 miles wide, making it easy to travel throughout the island and explore in an efficient manner. We suggest dedicating 1-2 days visiting different sights, attractions, restaurants, and different areas of the island.
Aruba’s terrain is very diverse and unique, there is so much natural beauty on the island to discover and immerse yourself in. If you’re planning a visit, you’ll want to visit Arikok National Park. Our island’s national park covers about 20% of the island and is the perfect place to explore the diverse natural beauty that Aruba has to offer. Simply purchase a day pass at the park’s visitors center and be on your way! You can do so by jeep or opt for a more active and environmentally-friendly way and go hiking. There are plenty of natural sites and attractions (caves, gold ruins, wild beaches, hiking trails, natural pools, and more) on the wild east coast of the island. It is sure to leave you fascinated by just how different it is from the other side of the island, which is home to the majority of our island’s resorts and calmer beaches.
Also, be sure to check out the following sights. Some of our favorite places include the Natural Pool (Conchi), Small Cave Pool, Fontein Cave and Freshwater Pond, Hooiberg, Alto Vista Chapel, Spanish Lagoon, and the street art, museums and restaurants in San Nicolas.
