Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino — Oranjestad
1 $$$ Upscale
★ 9.2

The Renaissance's centrepiece is a genuinely magical amenity: a private island accessible only to hotel guests, fringed by a flamingo beach that has become one of the Caribbean's most iconic images. The hotel's twin towers span an Ocean Suites tower with rooftop pool and a Marina Hotel closer to the private island ferry — together forming Aruba's most characterful urban resort.

Divi Aruba All Inclusive — Palm Beach
2 $$ Mid-range
★ 8.8

Divi Aruba is a classic Caribbean all-inclusive that has been welcoming families and couples to Druif Beach for decades. Low-rise buildings, lush gardens, and multiple pools characterise the resort's pleasantly unhurried setting. The beach here — calmer and wider than much of Palm Beach — is a genuine asset, and the included meals at four restaurants hit a consistent standard.

About This Guide

The view from above changes everything. Aruba's best rooftop hotels don't just offer a room with a view — they offer entire elevated experiences. Rooftop bars where the city's skyline becomes your backdrop, infinity pools that seem to merge with the horizon, and open-air restaurants where every table has a panorama. Aruba Marriott Resort & Stellaris Casino boasts what many consider the finest rooftop panorama in Aruba, with 360-degree views and a cocktail programme curated by an award-winning mixologist. Ritz-Carlton Aruba features a stunning infinity pool that's become one of the most photographed hotel features in the city. We've evaluated not just the views but the complete rooftop experience — quality of food and drinks, atmosphere, seating comfort, and whether the space feels genuinely special or merely elevated.

Insider Tips

    Time your rooftop visit for golden hour — typically 1-2 hours before sunset.

    Make dinner reservations for rooftop restaurants well in advance, especially on weekends.

  • 3

    Pack a light layer — rooftop temperatures can drop significantly after sunset.

  • 4

    Request a west-facing room for in-room sunset views as well.
