Making your vacation work

If 2020 taught us anything it is that we are flexible and creative when it comes to getting our work done, sometimes juggling homeschooling for kids at the same time and from the same (work)space. And working remotely became the new norm, both from home as well as your home away from home in warmer or quieter places.

It all started a couple of years ago. As we were planning the expansion for our current boutique hotel, we decided to create a private plunge pool at one of the standalone casitas and envisioned serving a floating breakfast in that private pool. Now wouldn’t that be great? We parked the idea yet cherished the dream.

At Boardwalk Boutique Hotel we have always made art an essential element in our casita design. Our boutique hotel offers a total of 46 casitas, private vacation home-style rooms, of which 4 are Deluxe Coco Casitas. These Deluxe Coco Casitas are studio suites that come with a tropical hand-painted mural reflecting Aruba’s fauna & flora.
