Aruba Marriott Resort Unveils a Luxe New Look on Palm Beach After Multimillion-Dollar Renovation

Set directly on the powdery white sands of Palm Beach, the Aruba Marriott Resort continues to define what a luxury Caribbean escape should feel like—effortless, elegant, and deeply connected to island life. Fresh off a chic, multimillion-dollar renovation, the resort enters the new year reimagined from top to bottom, offering travelers a refined yet relaxed experience on Aruba’s famously welcoming shores.

All 414 guest rooms have been thoughtfully redesigned to reflect a light-filled, coastal aesthetic inspired by the serene beauty of the tropics. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame sweeping panoramic views, while interiors balance modern sophistication with breezy island comfort. Guests will find marble countertop double vanities, sleek elevated work desks, and oversized soaking tubs in select rooms—details that elevate both short stays and longer, work-from-paradise escapes. The result is a seamless blend of contemporary luxury and laid-back Caribbean charm.

Wellness also takes center stage at the newly refreshed Mandara Spa, the largest spa on the island at 6,500 square feet. The renovation introduced new saunas and steam rooms, along with tasteful décor enhancements across its 12 treatment rooms, creating a calming, elevated atmosphere designed for true relaxation. Outdoors, the spa’s courtyard now features a hot tub, cold plunge area, and additional lounge seating—perfect for soaking in the warm Caribbean air before or after a treatment.

Beyond the rooms and spa, the resort’s amenities offer something for every kind of traveler. Palm Beach is just steps from the guest rooms, inviting mornings spent walking the shoreline and afternoons basking in the sun. Two resort pools cater to different moods: the adults-only H2Oasis pool with private cabanas for a serene escape, and a lively family pool complete with a swim-up bar. Complimentary water sports like paddleboarding and snorkeling make it easy to explore Aruba’s crystal-clear waters, while evenings can be spent at the award-winning Stellaris Casino, the largest on the island.

Food lovers will feel especially at home with ten on-site dining and snack options. Mediterranean-inspired flavors shine at Mercàt, while Atardi offers unforgettable beachfront dinners timed perfectly with sunset. Gelato & Co. provides morning bites and sweet treats throughout the day, and the Lobby Bar serves up fresh sushi alongside craft cocktails in a relaxed yet stylish setting. Every meal feels curated, yet comfortably unpretentious.

For years, the Aruba Marriott Resort has also been a proud and visible ally to the LGBTQ+ community, welcoming travelers with inclusive, meaningful hospitality. Each June, the resort celebrates Pride Month by rolling out the rainbow carpet with a specialty Pride Brunch and a striking exterior rainbow light display—gestures that reflect Aruba’s broader “One Happy Island” spirit of acceptance and joy.

With its newly transformed spaces, exceptional dining, and unwavering commitment to inclusivity, the Aruba Marriott Resort stands ready to welcome a new generation of travelers seeking luxury, warmth, and authenticity on one of the Caribbean’s most beloved beaches.
