Tucked away on a former coconut plantation near Palm Beach, Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba is redefining the boutique hotel experience in the Caribbean. Recently recognized as a top contender in the Readers’ Choice Awards for Best Boutique Hotels in the Caribbean and a TripExpert Experts’ Choice Award recipient, this charming retreat is living up to the hype—and then some.
Owned and operated by twin sisters Kimberly and Stephanie, Boardwalk exudes authenticity, warmth, and personal touches that make guests feel at home the moment they arrive. The property features 14 colorful casitas—standalone accommodations with tropical décor, private patios with hammocks and grills, fully equipped kitchens, and plush beds perfect for recharging after a day in paradise.
From energy-efficient amenities like a master electricity control switch and automated air conditioning shut-off to fun “Treasure Boxes” filled with personalized island activity cards, every detail is carefully curated for comfort and sustainability. Whether you’re relaxing by the secluded pool, chatting with fellow guests, or enjoying tapas on your private balcony, the hotel fosters a sense of community without compromising privacy.
Guests are treated to made-to-order breakfast on their patio, with options ranging from healthy to romantic. A short walk across the street leads to the hotel’s private beach area nestled between The Ritz-Carlton and Marriott Resort, complete with loungers, palapas, infused water, and Segway-served refreshments. Water sports and activity centers are conveniently located nearby for adventure seekers.
Boardwalk’s blend of boutique luxury, eco-conscious design, and heartfelt hospitality creates an intimate, peaceful escape that feels worlds away from the bustle of larger resorts. It’s no surprise that visitors often leave already planning their return.
