A Local Guide from Villa con Torre

You are close to everything that makes Aruba special - world-class beaches, great restaurants, and easy island living - while coming home each evening to your own private pool and outdoor retreat.
Here's everything you need to know about the area.
Beaches
Noord puts you within minutes of two of the most celebrated beaches in the Caribbean.
Palm Beach is Aruba's most iconic stretch of white sand, lined with beach bars, water sports operators, and restaurants. From Villa con Torre it's a five minutes drive - close enough to pop back to the villa for lunch and return for sunset.
Eagle Beach is consistently rated one of the best beaches in the world. Wider, quieter, and less crowded than Palm Beach, it'sa favorite for guests who want to spread out and relax. It's about an eight-minute drive from the villa.
Arashi Beach, near the California Lighthouse, is a hidden gem popular with snorkellers thanks to its calm, clear water and abundant marine life. Budget about 10 minutes by car.
Restaurants & Dining
You are spoiled for choice in Noord. A short distance from the villa gets you to local favorites for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Palm Beach strip - five minutes away - is home to dozens of restaurants franging from casual beach bars to upscale Caribbean dining.
