Discover Your Casita

Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba offers private, villa-style casitas set within lush tropical gardens, creating a peaceful, residential atmosphere that feels very different from typical high-rise Palm Beach resorts.
Instead of staying in large hotel buildings, guests enjoy individual casitas designed for privacy, comfort, and relaxed indoor-outdoor island living.

Boutique, private villa-style accommodations

Boardwalk’s accommodations are designed to feel like personal island retreats rather than traditional hotel rooms.

• Instead of standard hotel rooms or suites stacked inside large buildings, Boardwalk is made up of (semi) stand-alone casitas spread throughout lush tropical gardens.
• Each casita feels like a little personal retreat with its own private patio, outdoor hammock, BBQ grill, and kitchenette or full kitchen, promoting a true indoor-outdoor island living vibe.

Design and setting

The design and setting emphasize nature, tranquility, and a strong sense of place.

• The property occupies what was once a historic coconut plantation, with palms, greenery, hammocks, tranquility zones, and intimate garden nooks—very different from the built-up high-rise lines of typical Palm Beach resorts.
• Casitas feature tropical, colorful décor, natural materials, and layouts focused on bringing the outdoors inside, creating a relaxed, soulful Caribbean feel.

Enhanced privacy & personalized feel

Staying in individual garden casitas creates a quieter, more private experience.

• Because guests stay in separate units spread across the gardens rather than in large buildings, there’s more privacy and a calmer atmosphere, closer to a private villa community than a big resort crowd.
• The hotel’s adults-only (18+) orientation also shapes a quieter, more romantic environment than many family-oriented Palm Beach resorts.

Variety of unique casita options

Boardwalk offers a range of distinctive casita styles to suit different travel styles and lengths of stay.

• Coco Casitas with king beds, kitchenettes, and patios with hammocks and BBQs.
• Coco Casita Deluxe with outdoor showers and hand-painted murals.
• One- and two-bedroom casitas with separate living spaces and full kitchens.
• Specialty options like the Palapa Lodge with wraparound terrace or the Plunge Pool Casita with a private pool and sunbed.

Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba offers a relaxed, lifestyle-driven stay focused on privacy, nature, and unhurried island living rather than the programmed, high-energy atmosphere of many Palm Beach resorts.
The experience is designed around slowing down, personal space, and connecting with Aruba’s natural surroundings and local culture.

Lifestyle focus vs. typical resort formula

The overall experience at Boardwalk is intentionally low-key and immersive.

• Boardwalk’s setup encourages relaxation, slow mornings on your patio, hammock afternoons, and meaningful connection with nature and local culture, rather than the more scheduled, activity-driven environment of large resorts.
• Shared spaces such as two pools, lush gardens, The Coco Café restaurant, and a dedicated beach area on Palm Beach complement the casitas while maintaining a calm, intimate atmosphere.

Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba offers a calm, low-key beach experience on Palm Beach, combining easy access with privacy and freedom from the crowds often found at beachfront high-rise resorts.
Rather than being directly on the hotel strip, Boardwalk’s beach setup allows guests to enjoy Palm Beach at their own pace while returning to a peaceful garden setting.

Steps from Palm Beach

Boardwalk’s location provides the best of both worlds: proximity without the bustle.

• While typical Palm Beach resorts are directly beachfront and often high-rise with multiple restaurants and large-scale amenities, Boardwalk’s casitas are set back from the beach in a quiet garden oasis, yet still just 3 minutes walking or a 1 minute shuttle ride away.
• Guests enjoy complimentary, reservable beach loungers at Boardwalk’s dedicated beach area, ensuring a relaxed and effortless beach day without the crowds.
• Watersports are conveniently available right next to Boardwalk’s beach area, with activities such as kitesurfing, windsurfing, paddleboarding, kayaking, and more. Through a partnership with Vela Sports Aruba, guests receive discounted rates, with lessons available for both beginners and more advanced levels.
• Boardwalk’s concierge team enhances the experience by curating personalized island adventures, from exploring nearby beaches to planning sunset or snorkeling sails. Guests may also borrow complimentary beach chairs, snorkels, and coolers, making it easy to explore the island independently. For those seeking balance and wellbeing, the concierge can also recommend wellness experiences, yoga sessions, and car-free activities across Aruba.
