If you have become bored with the hustle and bustle of the mainstream tropical destinations and are looking for somewhere a little different maybe you should consider Aruba. With a country steeped in culture and exciting outdoor activities; it's easy to see why holidays in Aruba are a hit with the lucky few who have discovered the island.
Aruba, local to South America, has a culture as diverse as its landscape. Due to its main export of gold there is a high turnover of people making for a transient feel to the society. Europeans, Indians and Africans are the islands main peoples yet there are many more that constitute the islands population.
With stiff winds, pumping surf and warm weather; holidays in Aruba can become jam packed with high octane water sports. Kite surfing, a combination of two daring activities, is a popular sport along with wind surfing, board surfing and a host of other wave inspired fun. Board heads and kite flyers alike revel in the perfect combination of sea, sand, surf, sun and wind.
The island itself is excellent for exploring either by foot or on wheels. Tracks zig in and out of cactus plants and high onto cliff tops. Confusing formations of rock bewilder tourists as they pass by on their mounts, whether they be two wheeled, four wheeled or even four hoofed. Adventure is the bread and butter of Aruba so if you want to get the adrenalin flowing, the blood pumping and your knees shaking you know where to go.
Saying all that; maybe you are not up for risking life and limb for fun. Maybe your idea of getting your kicks is lying back with a long cool drink by a pool that sparkles in the equatorial sun. Spas will welcome you and make you feel reborn. Later on, after a swim in the pool, you step out into the sultry night. Around you, night creatures sing as you stroll the streets to find a restaurant.
Taking holidays in Aruba is about doing what you want when you want to do it. Why not enjoy Aruba's beautiful scenery while playing a quick nine holes. The hush of the sea and the blue dome of the sky your background as you stroll along the fairway with clubs in hand and feeling the sun on your back. Life doesn't get much better than this.
For those who are more intrigued by culture and history; there are museums and galleries displaying relics and arts from many ages. The gold mines draw in tourists while the gold mills describe smelting processes. Beautiful places of worship stand in a strange contrast to the revelry and displays of fearlessness going on in the water. Holidays in Aruba can be spent in hotels or private accommodation; both of which hold their merits. Beach bars provide food, entertainment and a place to simply hang out and watch the world drift by.
