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.

Chabad also prepares Shabbos meal packages and individual items to order, for pickup here or delivery to hotels, with orders due at least 24 hours ahead and a firm Thursday 12:00 PM cutoff for Shabbos.
