Aruba's weather is consistently mid 80's and sunny. Nestled 17 miles off the coast of South America, Aruba benefits from the refreshing trade winds while positioned outside of the hurricane belt. The average rainfall is 18 inches per year. The predictable weather and friendly people are the two primary factors why we chose Aruba!

Aruba's native language is Papiamento. A mixture of Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese with a local twist! English is widely spoken throughout the island! The country's currency is Florin. However, the US Dollar is accepted so there is no need to exchange currency in advance. The exchange rate is around $1 US Dollar to 1.75 fl.
