Caribbean, Aruba
Aruba
Aruba sits just 15 miles off the Venezuelan coast, permanently outside the Atlantic hurricane belt, which means year-round sunshine and near-constant trade winds. Eagle Beach is consistently ranked among the world's best. The island's mix of Dutch colonial architecture, Aruban cuisine, and watersports is hard to beat.
