Wine and dine
Toasting to each other with a bottle of fine wine as the sun goes down, and enjoying a magical moonlit dinner on the beach… yes, some call it cliche, I call it heavenly… because it is, especially in Aruba. Beach dining with your toes in the sand, just you and your love, it just can’t be topped when it comes to romantic experiences!
However, with that being said, romantic dining in Aruba is not only limited to beach dining, there are plenty of other dreamy options to be found! For instance, try a restaurant nestled in charming historic buildings of downtown Oranjestad, or opt for dining in a lush and cozy tropical garden with twinkling lights draped overhead.
