From leisure to luxury, from activities to amenities or from solitude to socializing, travelers want different things out of their vacations. With five properties — the largest collection of resorts on the island of Aruba — Divi Resorts understands that need for diversity.
In addition to its all-suite Divi Phoenix property on Palm Beach, Divi offers two all-inclusive properties on Eagle Beach: the beachside Divi Aruba and Tamarjin Aruba. For one set price, travelers can enjoy a vacation of unlimited food and drinks at a wide array of restaurants and bars, in addition to access to the resorts’ pools, beaches, non-motorized water sports and other activities and entertainment. Indulgence by the Sea spa and Alahambra Casino provide added leisure incentive.
All-inclusive is an option at the Divi Dutch Village and Divi Village Golf & Beach Resort across the street, which is home to The Links at Divi Aruba, a nine-hole course. After you hit the green, you can unwind at New Image Spa, which offers the full gamut of spa services, from manicures and pedicures to couples massages. For the latter, the trained technicians work in tandem, the soothing music and candles providing a lulling backdrop sure to alleviate stress.
Overlooking the golf course is Windows on Aruba, which provides a perfect setting for golfers and non-golfers to relax, with its floor-to-ceiling windows that offer unparalleled views of the island.
While Windows is known for its steak and fish — and its sumptuous Sunday buffet brunches — we opted to explore some other menu items. The Creamy Parmesan soup, chock full of mushrooms and croutons, was in a bowl so large we doubted we could make a dent, yet it was so decadently delicious we finished every last drop. Mushrooms also made a welcomed appearance atop the balsamic chicken, which was smothered with truffle crème and perfectly roasted vegetables. Though we were fit to burst, we indulged in the apple tart, a crispy apple pie topped with vanilla ice cream — an impeccable ending to the meal.
Divi focuses on fresh at all of its restaurants, using locally sourced food. Energy efficiency is also a priority; all Divi resorts employ water-conservation and energy-management programs, as well as staff training on sustainability. Earlier this year, all five Divi properties in Aruba earned Silver certification from the world’s largest certifier of sustainable travel outlets.
Divi also has properties on Barbados, Bonaire, St. Maarten and St. Croix. If you’re looking for a practiced and professional brand for your next vacation, with a diversity of options for travelers of all styles, explore all that Divi has to offer.
