Aruba has consistent weather throughout the year. The island stays in the low-80’s on average. As expected, all the coastlines follow the typical seaside climate.

The mainland area is a desert climate, with drier air. Each season has its own peculiar characteristics, prepare accordingly.

  • Winter – Though the coolest month in Aruba is January, do not let this fool you. Temperatures only fall to the mid-20’s in winter months.
  • Spring – Generally less crowded, making it a great time to visit. Expect temperatures in the low- to high-20’s.
  • Summer – The driest part of the year, summer temperatures are only slightly warmer than spring.
  • Fall – September is the hottest month in Aruba due to the decrease in winds from the summer months. Temperatures can get to the low-30’s.

The rainiest months are October to January, but rainfall is still lower than most the Caribbean.

Aruba has very low crime levels. But, theft does take place on seasides where belonging are left unattended. Stay alert in crowds and keep your items close to you.

Always carry identification, specifically a photocopy of your passport. Leave your passport and travel documents in a safe space in your resort or hotel.

If you are under the age of 21 or travelling with people who are, be aware the legal drinking age is 18 in Aruba. It is important to be aware of how many alcoholic beverages you are consuming especially in an unfamiliar location.

The north-eastern area of Aruba offers both the Natural Bridge and Natural Pool.

The Natural Bridge, originally a cave, was created over time by the constant ocean waves. Eventually, the cave collapsed creating the bridge you will see upon your travels. The bridge lost some of its original form in 2005 but is still a brilliant natural element of the island. You will find the Natural Bridge just north of Arikok National Park.

The Natural Pool is located in Arikok National Park, near the bridge. The pool is completely natural and is found amongst the rocks on the coastline. It is shielded by the rock face from the ocean waves, making for a peculiar and pleasant experience.

Access the Natural Pool either via an ATV tour or a hike through the natural park. The views of the ocean and surrounding land will not disappoint.

Such a beautiful destination still requires some extra thing in your suitcase. Ensure you have these items in your luggage:

  • Medication and First Aid – It is always better to be prepared. Bring along any recommended medications and an appropriate first-aid kit.
  • Sun Cream and Insect Spray – Look to invest in sun cream as well as sun protective clothing. Use insect spray that contains at least 20 percent of DEET or more.
  • Water and Seaside Gear – Though available to buy in Aruba, consider bringing any seaside gear with you. This includes goggles, snorkels, flippers, or seaside games.
  • Electronics and Private Belonging – If you cannot replace it, do not bring it. The risk of theft is low in Aruba but it can happen. The less you bring, the better for both travel and replacement purposes.
  • Clothing and Shoes – Sturdy shoes, and water shoes or flip flops for the seaside are recommended.

If you are in Aruba and have an emergency (for example, been attacked, arrested or someone has died) contact the nearest consular services. Contact the embassy before arrival if you have additional questions on entry requirements, safety concerns or are in need of assistance.

While there is no consulate or embassy in Aruba, it is served by the British consulate in Amsterdam:

British Consulate General Amsterdam
Koningslaan 44
1075 AE Amsterdam

Emergency Phone: +31 (0)70 4270 427
