ARUBA MAP | WHERE IS ARUBA

Aruba lies at the heart of the southern Caribbean, about two-and-a-half

hours by air from Miami, Florida and 15 miles north of Venezuela. The island is 19.6 miles long, and six miles across at its widest point, with a total area of 70 square miles. Aruba boasts year-round great weather, cooling trade winds and friendly people.

On the island's South coast, the topography and vegetation are unusual for a Caribbean island. On the south and west coasts are miles of pristine white beaches that rank among the most beautiful in the world, rimmed by calm blue seas with visibility in some areas to a depth of a hundred feet.

The Northeast coast, along the Atlantic shore, is rugged and wild. The interior is desert-like, with a variety of cacti and dramatic rock formations.
