Aruba beachfront rentals that make you go "Ahhh..."

Welcome to Peachy Beach, where your dream Aruba vacation begins with your toes in the Caribbean sand. Unlike traditional Aruba hotels that place you steps away from the beach, our beachfront vacation rentals put you directly on one of the island's most pristine stretches of coastline. Each morning, step from your villa onto soft white sand. Each evening, watch the sun paint the Caribbean sky in shades of pink and gold from your private beachfront patio.

Located in the authentic fishing village of Savaneta on Aruba's southern coast, Peachy Beach offers an alternative to the crowded hotel zones of Palm Beach and Eagle Beach. Here, you'll experience the real Aruba—where locals still fish from the shore, where the pace is unhurried, and where the beach feels like your own private retreat.

Why Choose Peachy Beach for Your Aruba Vacation

Where to Stay in Aruba: The Beachfront Villa Advantage

When planning where to stay in Aruba, travelers typically face a choice between all-inclusive resorts, beachfront hotels, and vacation rentals. Each has its place, but beachfront vacation rentals offer something truly special—the intimacy of your own space combined with unparalleled ocean access.

At Peachy Beach, you're not just near the beach. You're ON the beach. Your private patio opens directly onto the sand. Your outdoor dining area sits beneath swaying palms with waves as your soundtrack. Your morning coffee ritual includes Caribbean sunrise views that you'll never forget. This is the Aruba vacation rental experience at its finest.

Authentic Aruba Location

Savaneta is Aruba's oldest village and former capital. While the high-rise hotel strip along Palm Beach caters to mass tourism, Savaneta remains authentically Aruban. Fresh seafood restaurants line the waterfront. Local fishermen bring in the daily catch. The vibe is relaxed, genuine, and welcoming.

Our beachfront location means you're away from the crowds but never far from adventure. Downtown Oranjestad is just 10 minutes away. The famous beaches of Eagle Beach and Palm Beach are 15-20 minutes north. Yet when you return to Peachy Beach each evening, you return to tranquility.

Premier Beachfront Living

Each Peachy Beach villa features direct beach access—no roads to cross, no crowds to navigate, no claiming pool chairs at sunrise. The beach is quite literally your backyard. Enjoy morning swims before breakfast. Build sandcastles with the kids. Snorkel the nearby reef. Watch pelicans dive for fish. Or simply lounge with a book while Caribbean breezes keep you comfortable.

This kind of access is rare in Aruba. Most vacation rentals are located inland or require walking to reach the beach. Even many "beachfront" hotels have pools, restaurants, or landscaping between your room and the sand. At Peachy Beach, nothing separates you from the Caribbean Sea.

Aruba Vacation Rentals vs. Hotels: Making the Right Choice

The Vacation Rental Advantage

If you're researching where to stay in Aruba, you've likely encountered countless options: all-inclusive resorts in Palm Beach, boutique hotels in Eagle Beach, luxury Aruba hotels with swim-up rooms, and Aruba vacation rentals of every size and style. So why choose a beachfront vacation rental?

Space & Privacy

Aruba hotels offer comfortable rooms, but vacation rentals provide entire villas. At Peachy Beach, you have living rooms, full kitchens, private outdoor spaces, and real bedrooms—not just a hotel room with an overpriced mini-bar. Families appreciate having separate sleeping areas. Couples love the privacy and romance of their own beachfront villa.

Authentic Experiences

Staying in Savaneta means shopping at local markets, dining at neighborhood restaurants, and experiencing daily Aruba life beyond the tourist zones. You're not in a resort bubble—you're in a real Caribbean community.

Value for Groups

For families or couples traveling together, Aruba vacation rentals often provide better value than booking multiple hotel rooms. You get more space, separate sleeping areas, and the option to prepare some meals in your full kitchen, which can significantly reduce vacation costs.

Beachfront Access Without Resort Prices

Beachfront hotels in Aruba command premium prices for "oceanfront rooms," that may actually be set back quite far from the beach. Peachy Beach offers genuine beachfront living at more accessible rates, making the dream of waking up to Caribbean waves a reality for more travelers.

When Hotels Make Sense

We believe in honest guidance. Aruba all-inclusive resorts suit travelers who want everything packaged—meals, drinks, activities—without thinking about logistics. If you prefer structured programming, kids' clubs, and on-site entertainment, an all-inclusive resort may be your best fit. But if you value independence, authenticity, and true beachfront living, a vacation rental like Peachy Beach offers an experience no hotel can match.

Exploring Aruba from Peachy Beach

Your Base for Island Adventures

Aruba is a small island—just 20 miles long and 6 miles wide—making Peachy Beach an excellent base for exploring everything the island offers.

Beaches & Water Activities

While you have a beautiful beach right at your villa, Aruba's famous beaches are worth exploring. Eagle Beach, consistently ranked among the Caribbean's finest, is 20 minutes away. Palm Beach, lined with hotels and water sports vendors, offers jet skiing, parasailing, and beach bars. Baby Beach in the south provides calm, shallow waters perfect for families with young children.

Snorkeling and diving enthusiasts will find Aruba exceptional. The island's crystal-clear waters, consistent temperatures, and diverse marine life create ideal conditions. Explore the Antilla shipwreck, Aruba's most famous dive site. Discover colorful reef fish at Mangel Halto. Or simply snorkel right from Peachy Beach—the nearby reef attracts tropical fish, rays, and occasionally sea turtles.

Cultural Experiences

Visit downtown Oranjestad, Aruba's colorful capital, where Dutch colonial architecture meets Caribbean flair. Browse the markets, visit the historical museum, and enjoy the waterfront boardwalk. San Nicolas, once a refinery town, has transformed into Aruba's arts district with vibrant murals decorating entire neighborhoods.

Don't miss Arikok National Park, which covers nearly 20% of the island. Hike to natural limestone bridges, explore caves with ancient indigenous petroglyphs, and discover cacti and divi-divi trees shaped by trade winds. The park showcases Aruba's rugged, desert-like interior—a surprising contrast to the gentle beaches.

Dining & Nightlife

Aruba offers world-class dining from casual beach shacks to upscale restaurants. Fresh seafood is exceptional—try local catches at Zeerovers in Savaneta, where fishermen deliver directly to the kitchen. For fine dining, Oranjestad and Palm Beach offer international cuisines.

Nightlife ranges from beach bars with live music to casinos and nightclubs. Many visitors enjoy Aruba's famous sunset happy hours, where bars compete with creative cocktails and stunning views.

Adventure & Activities

Beyond beaches, Aruba offers adventure. Take an off-road ATV tour through Arikok National Park. Try kiteboarding or windsurfing on the island's windy northern coast. Charter a boat for deep-sea fishing or a sunset cruise. Visit the famous California Lighthouse for panoramic island views. Or explore on horseback riding along the beach at sunset.

Planning Your Aruba Vacation

Best Time to Visit Aruba

Aruba's famous tagline—"One Happy Island"—is backed by statistics. The island sits outside the hurricane belt and enjoys year-round sunshine with minimal rainfall. While the Caribbean generally experiences rainy seasons, Aruba averages just 15-20 inches of rain annually, most falling in short, mild showers.

That said, some periods are more popular than others. December through April is peak season when North American and European travelers escape winter weather. Expect the most comfortable temperatures (though Aruba is always warm and comfortable) and the highest rates for Aruba hotels and vacation rentals.

May through November is technically low season, but in Aruba, this means fewer crowds and better rates with virtually the same perfect weather. Trade winds keep temperatures comfortable year-round. If you're flexible with dates and want to maximize value, consider visiting during these months.

Getting to Aruba

Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA) receives direct flights from major U.S. cities including Miami, New York, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, and Houston. Flight time from the U.S. East Coast averages 3-4 hours. Most visitors don't need a visa for stays under 30 days, though requirements vary by nationality.

Getting Around

We recommend renting a car to explore Aruba fully. The island is easy to navigate, roads are well-maintained, and having your own transportation provides freedom to discover beaches, restaurants, and attractions at your own pace. Taxis and rideshares are available but can be expensive for multiple daily trips. Many guests rent cars for their entire stay and park right at their Peachy Beach villa.

What to Pack for Your Aruba Vacation Rental

Aruba's climate is consistently warm (80-90°F year-round), so pack light, breathable clothing. Don't forget:

• Reef-safe sunscreen (important for protecting Aruba's marine ecosystems)
• Snorkel gear if you prefer your own (though we provide equipment)
• Light layers for air-conditioned restaurants
• Comfortable walking shoes for exploring
• Beach essentials (though Peachy Beach provides beach chairs, umbrellas, and toys)

Grocery Shopping & Dining

One advantage of vacation rentals is the option to prepare meals. Aruba has excellent supermarkets stocked with both local and imported goods. Many guests enjoy preparing breakfast and lunch at their villa, then dining out for dinner. This approach saves money while allowing you to experience Aruba's restaurant scene.

What Makes Peachy Beach Special

The Intangibles That Matter

Beyond beachfront locations and comfortable villas, Peachy Beach offers something harder to quantify but impossible to forget: the feeling of home in paradise.

It's the way the morning sun illuminates your patio, inviting you to start the day slowly with coffee and ocean views. It's the afternoon trade winds that make beachside lounging comfortable even in tropical heat. It's the sunset moment when the sky transforms into art and you realize you're witnessing something genuinely special.

It's the local fisherman who waves as he walks the beach each morning. The pelicans diving for breakfast just offshore. The hermit crabs exploring the sand at dusk. The sound of waves that becomes your nightly lullaby.

It's the freedom to wake when you want, eat when you're hungry, and plan—or not plan—each day according to your mood. No buffet schedules, no resort wristbands, no crowds competing for limited beach space. Just you, your loved ones, and the Caribbean Sea.

Many guests tell us that Peachy Beach doesn't feel like a vacation rental. It feels like their Aruba home. That's exactly what we hope for.
