7. Flamingo Beach
Located on the artificial Renaissance Island in Oranjestad, Flamingo Beach is one of the very few private beaches in Aruba. If you’re lucky enough to book a room at Renaissance Aruba Resort, you can take part in an extraordinary experience—sharing the beach with a flamboyance of flamingos. And that’s not all—you can also walk up to the birds and take photos with them as they are very tame and quite accustomed to visitors.
As expected, the resort’s rooms sell out extremely early, but if you don’t manage to get a booking, there’s still a chance of visiting the marvelous Flamingo Beach. On days when the beach is not too crowded, the resort issues a limited number of day-passes for non-guests. If you’re traveling as a couple, consider spending a night on Lover’s Island.
