Find Soothing Remedies In The Land Of Aloe

Dec 22, 2014

It should come as no surprise that aloe, the Caribbean cure for sunburn, is one of Aruba’s main exports. Founded in 1890, the Aruba Aloe Museum, Factory and Store is the oldest operating company on Aruba, using aloe in everything from face and body lotion to sunscreen and shampoo. A short tour of the factory takes you through the aloe cutting room, testing lab, filling room and packing and storage areas. Stock up on sunscreen and other soothing supplies at the store.

You can even get a taste of aloe in one of the Aruba Marriott’s signature aloe cocktails. Better yet, head to the Aruba Marriott’s spa and reserve the Aloe and Milk Bath Wrap: a traditional Balinese recipe combining aloe with coconut, mung bean and lavender to polish the skin. Oh, yeah!

Explore Portugal on a Wine Tasting Tour with a Touch of History

All it takes is one glance at the grounds of Quinta Dona Maria, which includes a grand villa and surrounding gardens, to realize wine tasting in Portugal comes with a good dose of history. The vineyard is located in Estremoz, just northeast of the first-century Roman ruins found in Evora. In 1718 King João V built this estate for his lover, Dona Maria. When she died, the current owner’s ancestors purchased the land and have been making wine ever since. Taste the wine, which is terrific, especially the full-bodied red Dona Maria Grand Reserve. Then venture inside a building that stores large amphora vases, including one dating back to the 1200s.
