The best ways to get to Aruba if you're in need of an island getaway

• Aruba is a beautiful and remote island, which also makes travel options limited.
• These are the best flight and transportation options to get to and around Aruba.

Aruba is an island paradise. And as most island paradises go, that remote location means transportation options can seem limited when it comes to traveling to and around Aruba. Of course, that also makes decision-making much easier.

Here are the best ways to arrive at One Happy Island and explore its locales.

Queen Beatrix International Airport

There are many year-round and seasonal nonstop flights to Aruba's Queen Beatrix International Airport from major travel hubs in the US, Europe, and Latin America. Be sure to read up on the travel guidelines regarding COVID-19 protocols and obtain an embarkation and disembarkation, or ED, card.

When you're ready to get going, take a car rental, transfer-and-tour operator, or taxi to get to your desired spot on the island. Taxis are zoned by the government, with flat rates depending on your destination.

Getting around Aruba

If you're staying in the main tourist regions, it's easy to hop in a taxi or take a public bus to most of the main attractions. But plan to rent a car for at least a day to explore the island's many off-the-grid pleasures.
