Great service yet again from the team at Planet. You guys really know your stuff. Mauritius was one of the best windsurf locations I've been in over 30 years on the water.

Excellent! Zoe

The Windsurfing In Aruba

The main windsurf beach in Aruba is within walking distance to some really good quality hotels making this an idea windsurf holiday destination if you are traveling with non windsurfing partner or family. The wind is cross off shore making the water very flat. However, due to the development if some of the larger hotels along this beach there is now a noticible 'wind shadow' make the wind quite gusty at first. 

Aruba's high-wind season is the longest in the Caribbean. There is wind almost all year but the best period tends to be from January to September.

Aruba offers warm, crystal-clear water that rarely drops below 24 °C (75 °F) and consistent winds that are a windsurfer's dream: the average wind speed, year-round, is about 20 knots. T

The island, however, has both flat-water locations and challenging wave conditions. Beginners should stay in the shallow waters inside the reef. More advanced sailors will go outside the reef for speed sailing.

The Nightlife In Aruba

Aruba is a really relaxed and chilled out island, though still offers a lively nightlife. The hotels alone offer good evening entertainment, with casinos and great restaurants. Evening cruises depart from Palm Beach, where you can set sail on a romantic dinner cruise or a wild boat party.

Throughout the island is an abundance of both lively and chilled out bars, restaurants with fantastic food, and casinos open until the early hours. The island's bus service is a great way to get around the small island to see all the entertainment. Alternatively a car is a great way to get around in the evenings and visit the lively capital city, Oranjestad.
