Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort

The Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is only steps away from the 14-acre stretch of soft white sands on Eagle Beach, guaranteeing unique and memorable sunsets over the sea. Without stinting on all its luxury, the resort respects its pristine environment and adopts impressive eco-friendly practices, from reducing water use to sourcing local supplies. 

The stylish and spacious rooms and suites have chic modern interiors and showcase spectacular panoramic views of Eagle Beach. Take in the sunset on your balcony or terrace. For an extra-special holiday or honeymoon, be sure to book one of the Penthouse Suites, which have plenty of space, bathrooms with large soaking tubs and rain showers, spacious terraces and your own private cabana on the beach - the ultimate indulgence.

Your personal concierge will take care of your every need, ensuring your stay is as luxurious and relaxing as possible. 

Enjoy the beautiful atmosphere at the oceanfront Elements restaurant, where breakfast, lunch and dinner are served daily, featuring the best of European and Caribbean cuisine, made even more special by the gorgeous views of the beach as you dine. Sip tropical cocktails at the beach bar, SandBar, which is exclusive to guests. 

For a perfect way to celebrate, choose from a specially-designed menu and have a romantic, candlelit dinner for two in a private palapa on the powder-white beach at sunset.

Stay active during your stay with a visit the fitness centre, for a workout accompanied by tropical views. If that sounds like too much effort, visit the Purun spa, which has an impressive array of personalised treatments: treat yourself to a couple's massage in the ocean-view cabana on the beach, an aromatic Caribbean-inspired facial or a soothing coconut milk and aloe wrap. Alternatively, simply relax on the sunbeds by the freshwater infinity pool as your butler serves you champagne and hors d'oeuvres.

Go horse riding through the sand dunes, taking in the breathtaking panoramas on the way, or go scuba diving and explore the colourful underwater world.

Take a tour of this beautiful island and discover the wild side of Aruba in Arikok National Park, with its stunning Natural Pool formed by rock and volcanic stone, enigmatic caves and sweeping beaches where turtles nest. The park is also home to gold mines, a remnant of Aruba’s history of gold mining, which dates back to the 13^th century, when prospectors searched the Caribbean for hidden treasures. There are two historic gold mill ruins on the island that remain from the 19^th-century gold rush, when gold was finally discovered here, eventually resulting in £3m-worth of gold being produced on the island.

In the evening, spend a romantic movie night under the stars on the beach, surrounded by the serene sunset and the calming sounds of the waves.
