Palapa Lodge 360
A one-of-a-kind stay under an authentic Aruban thatched roof, with a bathtub that takes center stage.
Perched on the second floor with a wraparound balcony overlooking a peaceful nature reserve, the Palapa Lodge offers a unique blend of comfort and nature. Its open design and wooden accents create an inviting, airy feel, while the freestanding bathtub in the heart of the room is made for pure relaxation.
Please note: This one-of-a-kind casita keeps things simple with a microwave and fridge, perfect for island bites and chilled rosé. (Full kitchen and BBQ not included.)
The Experience
A One-of-a-Kind Stay Under the Palapa
Step onto your wraparound terrace and breathe it all in. The nature reserve stretches out in front of you, trade winds move through the palms, and the only sounds are birdsong and the distant rustle of the island waking up.
To help you make the most of it, every Palapa Lodge stay comes with a pair of binoculars and a guide to Aruba's native birds and fauna. Mornings here have a way of becoming something you didn't know you needed.
