Aruba Bucuti Beach Resort and Tara Beach Suites and Spa

This elegant oasis provides Aruba's most adult ambience. Set on one of the Caribbean's best beaches, a serene 5.7-hectare (14-acre) expanse of sand, it's a favored retreat for sophisticated couples of all ages, especially honeymooners. About half are from Europe, and most are independent and well traveled. And though most guests are straight, the Bucuti is both appealing and welcoming to gay couples. Contemporary minimalist design with walnut and linen tones warm the spacious rooms, and the large balconies overlook gardens or the beach. Penthouses and the junior suites have kitchenettes. Because the owner is the driving force behind many environmental initiatives, the hotel is one of Aruba's greenest; recycling bins, water-conservation measures, and beachwide cleanups are part of the effort. Beach lovers appreciate the Bucuti's palapa-to-guest ratio -- it's the highest on the island. At the breezy, open-air fitness area, nature and exercise go hand in hand.
