Oranjestad, Aruba’s capital, is a compact waterfront city known for pastel Dutch colonial façades, duty-free shopping and easy access to palm-fringed beaches. Visitors stroll along the harbor, browse boutiques and jewellery stores, and hop on the vintage-looking tram through the centre. Nearby Eagle and Palm Beach offer clear water and watersports, while casinos, restaurants and nightlife keep things lively after dark, making Oranjestad an attractive base for island exploration.

Aruba Hi-Winds is a long-running annual windsurfing and kitesurfing event held at Fisherman’s Huts on the island’s breezy northwestern coast. Top regional athletes and enthusiastic amateurs compete in slalom, long-distance and freestyle disciplines over several days. Spectators relax on the sand, watch jumps and high-speed runs close to shore, and enjoy beach parties and live music in the evenings. The trade winds and clear turquoise water create ideal conditions for this energetic festival.
