once you set foot inside the impressively grand lobby, it’s all typical Ritz-Carlton glam.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Perched on the quiet northern end of Palm Beach, the grounds border Hadicurari Beach, where kite surfers ride the steady coastal winds.
The rooms
Private balconies look out over turquoise waters, accompanied by coastal palettes, natural wood accents, and marble bathrooms with walk-in showers.
The beachfront pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Two outdoor pools sit steps from the sand, lined with private cabanas and palm trees facing the Caribbean.
The spa
Thirteen treatment rooms host therapies using native Aruban aloe, and relaxation lounges include saunas, steam rooms, and an oxygen bar.
The gym
Large windows surround cardio and strength equipment in the gym, which hosts daily morning yoga and Pilates classes.
At the table
Casa Nonna serves fresh house pasta, and Divi mixes cocktails beside sushi under a sculpted wire chandelier.
Backed by the aquamarine waters of Palm Beach, the resort’s 320 rooms are generously sized, with cheery turquoise-and-yellow color schemes and balconies overlooking the ocean.
