Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is an adults-only luxury retreat on Eagle Beach, one of Aruba’s most desirable shorelines. Designed for romance and relaxation, this boutique resort is an ideal choice for couples’ vacation in the Caribbean. It’s just a short walk away from Oranjestad, Aruba’s colorful capital so you can easily access all the best shops and restaurants.
All of the rooms and suites are elegantly designed, many with ocean views and private balconies or terraces. Each space is thoughtfully appointed with eco-friendly touches, and a neutral color palette that complements the island’s natural beauty. You can unwind at the infinity pool, indulge in holistic treatments at the Purun Spa, or enjoy a beachfront private dining experience under the stars. Bucuti & Tara is also a leader in sustainable hospitality, operating as Aruba’s first carbon-neutral resort, with initiatives that support local conservation efforts. You can pre-book your sunlounger and umbrella on the beach so you can guarantee a good spot at any time – which isn’t always a possibility on a Caribbean beach.
Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort’s enhanced honeymoon offers are also very appealing, including White Glove Champagne Service on the beach and private dining on the beach in a palpa. This is a gay-friendly hotel so you can expect a warm welcome regardless of your partner’s gender.

Aruba is considered one of the more LGBTQ+-friendly islands in the Caribbean, offering a safe and inclusive environment for travelers. As part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Aruba has adopted progressive policies on LGBTQ+ rights. Same-sex marriage is recognized on the island for couples who marry in the Netherlands, and Aruba also acknowledges civil unions, providing some legal protections for same-sex couples.
In recent years, there has been a noticeable shift toward greater acceptance and inclusion, with local businesses and tourism initiatives embracing the LGBTQ+ community. While Aruba’s small size means its LGBTQ+ nightlife is not as extensive as larger destinations, there are queer-friendly bars, events, and social spaces, particularly in the capital, Oranjestad. Pride events, including Aruba Pride and associated festivities, further highlight the island’s growing LGBTQ+ visibility.
Aruba’s natural beauty, with its pristine beaches and luxurious resorts, attracts LGBTQ+ travelers looking for a relaxing island vacation. Although societal attitudes in some parts of the Caribbean can be conservative, Aruba – along with Curaçao – is the most gay-friendly place in the region.
