Aruba beckons honeymooners with its pristine beaches, azure waters, and all-inclusive resorts. For those seeking a romantic vacation without the screaming children, the “one happy island” has plenty of adults-only havens that offer peace, quiet, and loved-up vibes. From secluded boutique retreats to luxurious all-inclusive paradises, Aruba boasts an array of adult-only resorts that cater to the desires of couples and solo travelers alike.
We’ve broken down this guide into two sections so you can best choose the resort that suits you: the best adults-only resorts in Aruba that are not all-inclusive, and the best adults-only all-inclusive resorts in Aruba.
The Best Adults-Only Resorts in Aruba
Aruba is full of exciting adventures and lively restaurants. If you want to explore the island, don’t book an all-inclusive resort where you’ll feel tied down to the hotel in order to get your money’s worth. Instead, opt for an adults-only resort that’s not all-inclusive.
These are the best resorts in Aruba for adults only.
Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort
The award-winning adults-only Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort occupies a prime location on Eagle Beach, considered one of the best beaches in Aruba (and possibly the entire world). With 45 suites and 59 guestrooms, this resort is the perfect size.
Bucuti & Tara is designed for romance, catering exclusively to adults and couples 18 years and older. The entire resort is strictly adults-only and discourages large groups. If you’re looking for a quiet and peaceful vacation, this is the place—no weddings with more than four people are allowed so that you can focus on your love story, rather than someone else’s. The hotel’s beach bar is only open to guests, so you won’t have to fight crowds off to get a cocktail.
Bucuti & Tara is also one of the rare adults-only hotels in Aruba that doesn’t charge a resort fee. Although the hotel is not an all-inclusive resort, a complimentary full American breakfast is included in the rate, and guests can book a Dine Around Plan that includes 3-course dinners at a selection of island restaurants, allowing you to explore the best of Aruba’s culinary scene.
TRYP by Wyndham Aruba
If you’re looking for an affordable adults-only Aruba hotel, check out TRYP by Wyndham Aruba. Formerly the Brickell Bay Beach Club, the resort was fully renovated in 2024 and rebranded. This budget-priced resort is centrally located on beautiful Palm Beach.
All guests must be at least 21 years old.
Aruba Ocean Villas
The Aruba Ocean Villas are only for adults aged 21 and up, ensuring the property remains an idyllic sanctuary. This is also the only resort in Aruba with overwater villas. At this intimate adults-only resort, eight overwater villas feature with either private pools or outdoor Jacuzzis, hammocks, and canopy beds.
If you’d rather stay on dry land, there are five bungalows to choose from which are right on the pristine beach.
Guests must be 21 or older to stay at the main Aruba Ocean Villas resort, however, there are two off-property villas available (Sunset Villa and Cunucu di Nana) that welcome families. Because the villas are off-property, guests looking for an adults-only experience at the resort don’t have to worry about kids crashing the party.
Santa Lucia Landhuis & Cunucu
For a more authentic Aruba experience, book a private house at Santa Lucia Landhuis & Cunucu. This boutique resort is located on the eastern side of the island, in the lush countryside just outside of Aruba’s National Park. If you’re looking for a hotel close to Aruba’s Reina Beatrix International Airport, this one is just 15 minutes away.
There are just three private villas at the resort, so you’ll feel like you truly have your own private getaway. Each of the colorful houses features a kitchenette, living and dining area, separate bedroom with king-size bed, walk-in bathroom, two patios, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a large pool.
The Best Adults-Only All-Inclusive Resorts in Aruba
If you don’t want to leave your room, let alone your resort, an adults-only all-inclusive resort in Aruba will be your best option. These hotels include everything from activities to meals.

Secrets Baby Beach Aruba
Opened in early 2025, Secrets Baby Beach is Aruba’s newest adults-only all-inclusive resort. This is the island’s first Hyatt Inclusive Collection property, and it features Hyatt’s signature Unlimited Luxury experience, including unlimited dining and drinks, entertainment, and more. Everything from snorkeling and scuba diving, bike tours, cooking classes, live entertainment, and pool volleyball are included.
Secrets Baby Beach features three pools, including an infinity pool. The upgrade to a Preferred Club guest room is definitely worth the money, as you’ll get access to upgraded amenities, exclusive lounge access, and special room features like soaking tubs or swim-out pools.
Hotel Riu Palace Antillas
If you want a big all-inclusive adults-only resort in Aruba with lots of activities, opt for the Riu Palace Antillas. This hotel is exclusively for guests 18 and older, and is all-inclusive 24 hours a day—so if you want room service at midnight, you can indulge. Everything is included at the Riu, such as water sports, dining, alcohol, exercise classes, and more.
The RIU brand has a bit of a reputation for its parties, so you’ll find plenty of opportunities here to hit the dance floor or rock out with a DJ.
Renaissance Marina Hotel (Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba)
Be careful when you book the Renaissance Marina Hotel if you’re looking for an Aruba hotel that’s for adults only. This hotel is split into two sides, one that is family-friendly (the Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba) and one that is adults-only, the Renaissance Marina Hotel. Guests must be 18 or older to stay at the Marina side.
Guests of the resort will have complimentary access to Renaissance Island, a private island outfitted with romantic cabanas from which you can enjoy the world-class beaches.
The hotel can be booked with just a room, or with an all-inclusive package, with drinks, breakfast, lunch, and dinner, included.
