Honeymoon in Aruba

And what does the perfect honeymoon moment feel like? Perhaps it is sharing sunset and watching the sun sink into the Caribbean Sea against a background of pink sky? Clear, gentles surf splashing your ankles as you walk hand-in-hand down the beach? Dining by candlelight? You'll find all these moments and many more in Aruba, one of the most popular honeymoon destinations in the Caribbean.

Being one of the most popular honeymoon destinations in the Caribbean is like being ranked at the top of the class in a prestigious school, studying rocket science. The Caribbean islands have been a much-reveled destination for romance for decades, and show no signs of slowing down. Why is the Caribbean so popular? One look at the islands tells you all you need to know: luxurious resorts offering posh accommodations and long lists of amenities; alluring beaches that are fringed by lush backgrounds; any number of ways to unwind, from snorkeling and sightseeing to sharing a decadent spa treatment.

Aruba resides in the region that is called the Southern Caribbean, and is part of a group of islands that are referred to as the ABC islands (ABC stands for Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao ). Aruba is the smallest of these three islands. Set outside the Hurricane Belt and boasting a desert climate that makes it one of the sunniest islands in the Caribbean. There is very little annual rainfall, making it a great destination year-round, and its landscape is a beautiful geological anomaly, where blue waters lap white-sand beaches in the same frame as green, desert cacti.

Aruba is great for couples who enjoy a social atmosphere. The island has an exciting nightlife, fantastic casinos , fine dining, and lots of ways to get out and mingle with other couples, or just enjoy your own romantic escapades and moving to the rhythms of salsa and meringue. Of course, its luxurious hotels also invite spending nights in (perhaps even days in), enjoying a romantic, intimate setting and being catered to with room service, champagne, and breakfast in bed.

Aruba is also great for couples who enjoy a bit of adventure. Many couples flock to Aruba's famous "Tunnel of Love" cave in the Northeast corner of Arikok National Park. Some arrive expecting a spooky, slightly titillating stroll through a dark hallway, and are greeted by a somewhat challenging 300-foot hike through a limestone cavern. If you want relaxing, this is an attraction that is better skipped. If you're a couple that likes a bit of adventure travel, this is something that's not to be missed.
