Tanning Guide for Aruba

Aruba's 'One Happy Island' status is well-earned with its consistently high UV levels and sunny skies throughout the entire year. The beaches on the west coast, like Eagle Beach, offer wide expanses of sand perfect for tanning, with gentle trade winds providing a cooling breeze.

UV levels in Aruba are high year-round due to its tropical location. Always wear SPF 30+ and limit initial sessions to 15-20 minutes.
