Barceló Aruba
A statement property on the vibrant shores of Palm Beach, the Barceló Aruba embodies refined contemporary opulence. Overlooking the tranquil waters of the Caribbean, its arrival experience is nothing short of breathtaking; the lobby greets guests with a lavish design and a striking art installation that captures the island's spirit. High ceilings and airy spaces reflect sunlight, while the shimmering hues of blue and cream echo the sea just beyond. The standout Royal Level forms a boutique hotel within the resort, providing an exclusive haven equipped with personalized services and luxury touches. Here, special experiences await: whether it's enjoying Prosecco cocktails at the rooftop bar or indulging in a rejuvenating treatment at the spa, every moment is designed for delight and relaxation.
Explore the Local Area
Set just 15 km from Queen Beatrix International Airport and a stone's throw from Aruba's famed attractions, Barceló Aruba is an ideal base for exploration. Nearby, guests can immerse themselves in an array of activities, from surfing at the Aruba Surf and Paddle School (1 km) to leisurely shopping at the Palm Beach Plaza Mall (1 km). Take a cultural journey to the California Lighthouse, an iconic symbol of Aruba (1.5 km), or traverse the stunning natural landscapes of Arikok National Park. Stroll along the palm-fringed beaches of Playa de la Concha and get lost in the vibrant local culture, renowned for its tapas bars and lively festivals.
Room Information
Barceló Aruba comprises 373 meticulously designed rooms and suites, each exuding warmth and comfort. Ranging from standard double rooms to the extravagant Royal Level accommodations, the hotel ensures a tranquil retreat for every type of traveler.

Transitioning to the Royal Level, guests enjoy exclusive access to the private lounge, business center, and concierge services, ensuring a heightened level of sophistication during their stay.
“This hotel presents a conundrum; while some aspects like the beach and pool impress, reports of worn rooms and inconsistent service temper expectations. Dining receives mixed feedback, and special needs may not be fully met. It strikes me as a property with potential, but in need of focused updates to truly deliver a luxury experience.”
