Country

Aruba

Aruba calls itself 'One Happy Island', and it's hard to argue. Located outside the hurricane belt, it has perfect weather year-round. It's a unique mix of Caribbean vibes and Dutch efficiency. The landscape is surprisingly arid—cacti and divi-divi trees instead of rainforests—fringed by some of the most beautiful beaches in the world.
