City overview
Aruba sits 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela, outside the hurricane belt, with reliable sunshine, constant trade winds and some of the widest white-sand beaches in the Caribbean. The island is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and Dutch order meets Caribbean warmth in a place small enough to cross by car in under an hour — resort strips along Palm and Eagle Beach on the west coast, a rugged cactus desert and wind-battered north shore behind them. Jewish life is concentrated in Noord, where Chabad Aruba has grown since 2013 into a community of roughly 150 people, and the island now supports year-round kosher dining for the first time.
