There are destinations you visit, and then there are places that become part of your most memorable chapters. The Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino is a place where romance, friendships and celebrations unfold effortlessly with a backdrop of sea, sunshine and sophisticated island luxury.
Blessed with near-constant sunshine, cooling trade winds, and a locale rarely compromised by weather, Aruba stands as a reliable year-round backdrop for every milestone. Think a honeymoon filled with candlelit dinners and sunsets; beachside nuptials; or your bridesmaids on a getaway with spa days, cocktails and laughter. The resort offers more than just a place to stay.
The beauty lies in the property’s flexibility—whatever you and your entourage want to do is possible here. Ever ready, Aruba Marriott has the right space for every festivity—there’s more than 10,000 square feet of indoor space and a myriad of outdoor options for beachfront moments from engagements to vows, toes-in-the-sand meals, luxe open-air body treatments (yes, couples massages oceanside!) customized menus, and an adults-only pool, with a poolside bar, of course. Upgrade for even more amenities by booking at the adults-only Tradewinds Club, for private check-in, all day noshes and special happy hours, reserved beach areas, and much more.
This year, the resort unveiled a bottom-up renovation of all 414 rooms—including the 24 suites. The new accommodations are sleek and modern, with relaxing neutral hues of taupe, white and tan, complemented by blonde woods and the sparkle of sea-glass accents, a subtle reminder of the Caribbean coast right outside. The upgraded baths expand the feeling of luxury with marble countertops, waterfall shower heads (even a shower foot niche!), and soaking tubs in select rooms.
Mornings begin with beachfront yoga or coffee overlooking the ocean, or venture offsite to a local favorite, like nearby Linda’s Dutch Pancakes, with its array of fanciful crepe like breakfast cakes, which are offered in a dozen varieties, sweet and savory.
Afternoons give way to poolside relaxation, boutique shopping, leisurely beach walks or island tours like to the well-loved Aruba Aloe Factory. The islands’ most harvested export goes from field to packaged product at this all-in-one production site that makes everything from soaps to lotions, skincare and more. Or, get out on the water for a snorkel cruise to view sea life in the crystal blue waters. Art lovers will also want to take the mural walking tour through Aruba’s San Nicolas district, where creativity abounds stories high on the sides of buildings, and galleries showcase local artists.
Back at the resort, it’s easy to let happy hour cocktails roll right into dinner. Every memorable vacation has meals that guests joyfully recount to friends back home, morsel by morsel. With 10 on-site eateries and bars, every palate finds its pleasure here. From Mediterranean fare at Mercat, where dishes range from tapas to paella to super-fresh seafood at Atardi, sushi and steak, the hardest decision is where to start.
Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino is an ideal escape that will help you create meaningful experiences tailored to every stage of life’s journey.
