NEIGHBOURHOOD
★ OVERVIEW ★
Porta Al Sole is in a residential area known as Bakval, tucked right next to the Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels and less than 10 minutes walk to the awesome Palm Beach.

The larger area is Palm Beach (named after the beach!), a vibrant neighbourhood in Aruba known for its beautiful beach, international high-rise resorts and lively atmosphere.

★ PALM BEACH ★
Palm Beach in front of the Marriott hotel, is less than a 10 minute walk from Porta Al Sole and is the perfect place to watch the sunset every evening.

It is classic Caribbean with white sands lapped by crystal clear blue waters, perfect for relaxing on, swimming in, sunbathing, water sports, and beachfront entertainment.

All of Aruba`s beaches are public and open to all.

★ EAGLE BEACH ★
When talking of beaches in Aruba, one has to mention Eagle Beach, about 10 minutes drive to the south. This was recently voted the number #1 beach in the Caribbean according to Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice 2023. Not only that, but the and number #2 beach in the World!

Eagle Beach is the widest beach of Aruba with more than a kilometre of pure perfection – white sands lapped by crystal clear blue waters with the iconic wind-bent divi divi (or fofoti) trees and the daily iridescent breathtaking sunsets over the water. If you`re lucky, you may even spot turtles nesting on the shore.

Despite its fame, Eagle Beach remains a tranquil sanctuary, quieter than Palm Beach, with plenty of space for everyone to sunbathe, play, or read a book. The area offers an uncrowded atmosphere, with a range of dining and water sports activities available. Eagle Beach is simply a genuine paradise for beach lovers.

★ OTHER BEACHES ★
There are many other amazing beaches well worth exploring in Aruba.

Only a 5-minute drive from the villa is the picturesque Boca Catalina Beach with its pristine white sands, ideal for a day of lounging under the Caribbean sun.

Malmok Beach, renowned for its incredible snorkeling spots, is a similar distance, offering an unparalleled opportunity to explore the breathtaking underwater world.

And when you`re ready for a change of scenery, the lively Arashi Beach is just a 8-minute drive away, where you can soak up the warm tropical breeze, or take a refreshing swim.

As well as glorious sandy beaches and swimming the area provides excellent snorkeling and scuba diving opportunities. Malmok offers a tranquil and picturesque setting, perfect for those seeking a relaxing beach getaway or water sports adventure.

★ KITE SURFING ★
The area is also world famous for its kite and windsurfing. Aruba`s constant trade winds, extensive shallows and challenging wave conditions make Aruba a surfer’s paradise.

Surfing over flat-water locations while watching the beautiful Aruban coastline at sunset will melt all your stress away.

Whether you are a beginner or an expert, you`ll find a suitable location and tuition for windsurfing and kitesurfing at Hadicurari Beach, next to the Ritz-Carlton in Aruba. The constant 15-knot trade winds, along with the variety of flat-water locations and challenging wave conditions, have made Aruba one of the most popular spots on earth for windsurfers and kitesurfers.

★ GOLF ★
Tierra del Sol at the north of the island features an 18-hole Championship desert links Golf Course designed by famed architect Robert Trent Jones II, providing a truly exhilarating experience for golfers of all levels.

Upon arrival, it looked like our unit itself was still being worked on and under construction. All of our stairs were covered in drywall and debris when we checked in. Which I cleaned myself. For the duration of our stay the laundry room on the third floor had a horrible sewage smell, as well as the washroom. We did let staff know and they told us it was because the water wasn’t running and if we turn the taps on it will help but it never did. My son whose bedroom was up there couldn’t sleep there. When I got home, I sent an email addressing the issue and I didn’t receive a reply. The second concern I had was there are five lounge chairs around the pool. I believe there has to be over 20 units there with three bedrooms in each. The average unit must have five people in it. You are looking at an average of 100 guests. They definitely need more loungers around the pool. The positives are the unit itself was beautiful. There were high-end appliances. A stunning rooftop patio. It was very walkable however, I definitely don’t think it was worth what I paid. Also disappointed that I never heard back from anyone. I am hearing other people were fully compensated for the same issues. Sewage gases are quite concerning.
