Aruba Wedding Activities
When deciding on a Caribbean wedding location, one thing that most people take into consideration is whether there is a broad range of activities available to them and their destination wedding guests. In Aruba, a person can organize a number of different excursions and activities ranging from bowling, golf, biking and beaches to gambling and exploring what the energetic nightlife scene has to offer.
Fun Activities for Aruba Destination Wedding Guests: Bowling and Golf
As odd as it may seem, bowling is a rather popular sport in Aruba, with the most renowned hotspot being the Eagle Bowling Palace. The Eagle Bowling Palace occasionally hosts a number of prominent bowlers, many of whom regularly compete in international competitions. In addition to the state-of-the-art facility, the amenities available to destination wedding guests are top notch.
When it comes to golf, there are a number of appealing destinations to visit. The most popular golf course is Tierra del Sol, which is the only 18 hole championship golf course on the island. Situated on the northwest point of Aruba, it is accessible to destination wedding guests from any resort on the island and located a short 10 minute car ride from every major destination on the island. Tierra del Sol features a full length practice range, putting greens, chipping areas, a restaurant and a swimming pool so there is a little something for everybody attending your destination wedding.
Biking, Beaches, and Water Activities for Destination Wedding Guests in Aruba
Some people say that the infrastructure in Aruba is not conducive to casual bikers but the fact is that the environment is very conducive to off-road biking enthusiasts. A person interested in off-road biking would be well served when visiting Ranch Notorious, which has bike rentals available and provides off-road biking tours. An Aruban biking tour or excursion would be a unique experience and rare opportunity for destination wedding guests to witness an aspect of Aruban everyday life that one can’t see in the more frequently populated resorts and beaches.
One of the most appealing aspects of a Caribbean destination wedding is the beaches. Whether you want to relax on a secluded beach or to be in an area with a lot of activity, Aruba provides options that will match anyone’s needs. The more active destination wedding guest would likely find Palm Beach to be the best bet because it has water sports facilities for scuba diving and parasailing, as well as beach volleyball and boat rides. A destination wedding guest who just wants to get away from it all would find Rodger’s beach particularly appealing as it provides a picturesque view of beautiful shade palms and pristine, reef-protected waters. Its relative seclusion means that it allows for a more relaxing experience than possible at highly accessible beaches.
An activity that interests many Caribbean wedding guests is snorkeling and Aruba is a snorkeler’s paradise. For a person starting out, a popular destination is Baby Beach, as it is surrounded by shallow waters and protected by a barrier which keeps the environment safe for people of all ages and expertise. For the more experience snorkeler, Malmok Beach should be particularly appealing with its small coral bays, exotic underwater life and unique local history.
A Destination Wedding in Aruba’s #1 Perk: Nightlife
Aruba didn’t earn the nickname, “the Vegas of the Caribbean,” for its excellent weather and sandy beaches. Aruba has one of the most vibrant nightlife scenes in the entire region. Aruba’s up-and-coming gambling scene is also gaining popularity. With 11 casinos island-wide, there is something to cater to everyone’s tastes in Aruba. The Crystal Casino is open 24 hours a day and attracts a very lavish international crowd with its Monaco-inspired décor and diverse assortment of gambling opportunities, which include all of the usual table games and a race and sports betting area.
In conclusion, there are activities to suit any destination wedding guest’s tastes in Aruba. For a Caribbean wedding that provides lively entertainment for your party-loving guests and calm, relaxing beaches for those who want to get away from it all, Aruba is the perfect destination wedding location. The diverse range of activities Aruba offers makes it one of the most versatile Caribbean wedding locations. |
