Banish the winter doldrums on Aruba‘s alabaster beaches with a tall, cool drink by your side at the Hyatt Regency Aruba. The hotel has 357 guestrooms offering views of the ocean, pool or gardens, and updated bathrooms featuring deluxe products from Portico. Les Clefs d’Or concierge services, private dining by the sea, live nightly entertainment and babysitting services make it easy to forget frost-covered windscreens and the snow boots in your hallway at home. Outside, there’s a three-level pool fitted with waterfalls and a slide, tennis, basketball, beach and water sports, and daily scheduled activities that range from sunset sailing to Karaoke and sand sculpture contests.

Kids enjoy spending time at Camp Hyatt Watapana while being supervised by trained camp counselors. While they’re splashing in the pool or participating in arts and crafts, you can book a treatment at ZoiA Spa. The name is a traditional Papiamento word meaning balance, and treatments focus on achieving exactly that state of being. Foot rituals, rejuvenating massages and wraps use botanical ingredients that put you in touch with Aruba’s beautiful natural surroundings.
