PAID CONTENT FOR ARUBA OCEAN VILLAS
Aruba Ocean Villas SAVANETA, ARUBA
Though only a 10-minute drive from the airport, Savaneta on the island’s southwestern coast, remains a world away from the tourism fray. Few visitors know that it was Aruba’s capital until 1797 and was a popular haven for pirates. Today, it’s a peaceful, charming fishing community, home to Aruba Ocean Villas — an exclusive adults-only boutique resort located on its own seafront cove. The vibe throughout the resort is laid-back
luxury. Unique accommodation options include boho-chic beach villas, eco-centric bamboo cabins running solely on renewable energy and even a split-level treehouse. It’s the deluxe overwater bungalows, however, that are undeniably the stars of the show. The only ones of their kind in Aruba, these bungalows range from single-level enclaves to two-storey penthouse affairs and include canopied Bali beds, deep soaking tubs, personal whirlpool baths and outdoor conch-shell showers. Some also have outdoor beds for stargazing and clear floor cut-outs for watching marine life. Each retreat is awash in natural woods, bedecked with accents like crystal chandeliers and objets d’art.
For gastronomes, tiki torch-lit dining with gentle
live music can be enjoyed at The Old Man & the Sea beachfront restaurant, while those seeking complete privacy can order in-suite dining. Visitors feeling social can mingle at Oliver’s, a cocktail lounge in the reception area. Aruba Ocean Villas also offers an unparalleled
experience for those seeking a first-rate spa and wellness retreat. For an intimate and relaxing experience, guests can enjoy the treatments in the comfort of their own villas. Aruba Ocean Villas is one of the best places to unwind and rejuvenate on the entire island — and even in the whole Caribbean. The penthouse villas offer privacy, direct beach or sea access, as well as stunning ocean views and sunsets. The lush surroundings and beaches foster a sense of calm, making the resort an ideal destination for relaxation. Aruba Ocean Villas also offers treatments on its
private island, Isla di Oro, a tiny island off the coast of Aruba. Guests can ask about special packages that combine accommodation, spa treatments and wellness activities for a truly rejuvenating getaway.
