Noord overig, Aruba
★ OVERVIEW ★
Morning Star is in a smart quiet residential area known as Bakval, tucked right next to the Marriott and Ritz Carlton hotels and less than 9 minutes walk to the awesome Palm Beach.
The larger area is Palm Beach (named after the beach!), a vibrant neighbourhood in Aruba known for its beautiful beach, high-rise resorts and lively atmosphere.
★ PALM BEACH ★
Palm Beach in front of the Marriott hotel, is less than a 9 minute walk from Morning Star and is the perfect place to watch the sunset every evening.
It is classic Caribbean with white sands lapped by crystal clear blue waters, perfect for relaxing on, swimming in, sunbathing, water sports, and beachfront entertainment.
All of Aruba's beaches are public and open to all.
★ EAGLE BEACH ★
When talking of beaches in Aruba, one has to mention Eagle Beach, about 7 minutes drive to the south. This was recently voted the number #1 beach in the Caribbean according to Tripadvisor’s Travelers’ Choice 2023. Not only that, but the and number #2 beach in the World!
Eagle Beach is the widest beach of Aruba with more than a kilometre of pure perfection – white sands lapped by crystal clear blue waters with the iconic wind-bent divi divi (or fofoti) trees and the daily iridescent breathtaking sunsets over the water. If you're lucky, you may even spot turtles nesting on the shore.
Despite its fame, Eagle Beach remains a tranquil sanctuary, quieter than Palm Beach, with plenty of space for everyone to sunbathe, play, or read a book. The area offers an uncrowded atmosphere, with a range of dining and water sports activities available. Eagle Beach is simply a genuine paradise for beach lovers.
★ OTHER BEACHES ★
There are many other amazing beaches well worth exploring in Aruba.
Only a 6-minute drive from the villa is the picturesque Boca Catalina Beach with its pristine white sands, ideal for a day of lounging under the Caribbean sun.

★ KITE SURFING ★
The north end of Palm Beach, by the Ritz Carlton hotel, is world famous for its kite and windsurfing. Aruba's constant trade winds, extensive shallows and challenging wave conditions make Aruba a surfer’s paradise.
