Hi friends! Long time no write–I’ve been so busy! As many of you probably know I took a trip to Aruba (travel blog post to come)! Talk about paradise! This 19-mile island just 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela is a beach lovers’ delight. Lined with stunning beaches, white sand and clear blue water, I found my piece of tranquility far from the rat race of the City. I am grateful for my time in Aruba. It was truly an enjoyable and relaxing experience. My days were filled with sight-seeing adventures, delicious cuisine, and R&R on the miles of tranquil and picturesque beaches. It was my first time to the island, and needless to say, I’m definitely going back!
While in Aruba, I had the opportunity to visit Renaissance Island, a private island exclusive to Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino guests. The hotel sells a limited number of day passes to non-Renaissance guests (which aren’t necessarily guaranteed). In order to guarantee a day pass as a guest of Renaissance Island, you need to book a spa treatment at their Spa Cove. I was lucky to secure a pass and book an outdoor massage which was set at the end of a private walkway with an expansive view of the ocean. Talk about relaxing! What are you waiting for?–treat yourself, you’re on an island after all!
The main attraction on the island are the flamingos! Yes, flamingos! There are only about eight or so of them, but you can get insanely close and even feed them! How cool, right?! I had such a fun time taking photos and feeding them. And don’t worry, they don’t bite..much 😉
This little island is a slice of heaven. Amazing food, delicious tropical drinks, magnificently clear water, flamingos, iguanas, spa treatments–they have everything you need, and you can spend the whole day there! I’ll be writing more about my further adventures as well as other attractions and my experience in general in my Aruba travel post.
My adorable swimsuit and hot pink cover up are from All For Color! This is the cutest online boutique that has everything you need for your next island vacation or spring break getaway. The brand incorporates so many bright, fun, and energetic colors in their clothing and accessories. The bikini I am wearing is super adorable and can be worn off the shoulder.
