Escape to RIU®-topia in Aruba!

Winter’s cold evokes thoughts of sipping cocktails under swaying palm trees on white-sand beaches. In cold temperatures, Canadians make a convincing case for needing a warm escape to RIU®-topia in Aruba!

With a new influx of service-oriented resorts, savvy Canadian travellers are not just enjoying low-maintenance winter escapes; they are discovering a whole new vacation experience. The newly renovated RIU Palace Aruba and RIU Palace Antillas (adults-only) have raised the bar on the all-inclusive holiday by introducing more amenities, inviting designs and an ever-expanding roster of activities, so all you have to do is grab your flip-flops and head for the heat!

Bathed in warm turquoise waters on the powdery-white sands of Aruba’s legendary Palm Beach, the RIU properties are steps away from picturesque piers, beach bars, restaurants, shops and casinos for you to explore. Though I warn you, guests seeking effortless indulgence may find it difficult to pull themselves away from this stunning oasis that recently underwent a multi-million dollar refurbishment project.   

The RIU Palace Aruba and RIU Palace Antillas offer a variety of beautifully appointed rooms and buffet style and à la carte dining venues to satisfy every palate. When it comes to matters of relaxation, pamper yourself with a treatment at the Renova Spa; it’s the perfect remedy for destressing! Afterwards, disappear beneath an umbrella with a cocktail to take in the inspiring views, especially captivating aboard a sunset cruise. 

Leisure time is time well spent at this Palm Beach oasis. The RIU offers a treasure trove of water sports and daily activities such as wind surfing, golf, diving and hiking. Aruba’s dive sites lie along the protected western and southern coasts, a short distance from the hotel and can be booked through Scuba Caribe located in the hotel.
 
Nexus Tours offers a number of exciting excursions like shopping in the capital, Oranjestaad, swimming in a natural pool known as Cura di Tortuga, and exploring the island’s natural gems on a Jeep Safari adventure that ends on the sheltered lagoon of Baby Beach.
