How we choose the best beachfront stays in Aruba
Compare the actual systems described at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort. A solar panel contribution, solar water heating and an off grid electricity supply answer different questions about how a stay operates.
Bucuti & Tara halves its food waste with the World Wildlife Fund and runs a fossil fuel free kitchen, so the beach you wake up to in Aruba stays clean for the turtles that nest on it and for the guests who come after you.
We look for that same instinct to guard the coastline elsewhere, like Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa, Green Globe Platinum since 2016, and Boardwalk Boutique Hotel Aruba, a female owned, Green Globe certified casita hotel on a former coconut plantation with its own reverse osmosis water plant. Because the families who run these places intend to be here for generations, protecting the sand and sea is protecting their own future, and yours. See more in our guide to the best beachfront eco stays across the Caribbean. For a great example of a beachfront stay protecting its shore, see how one Negril hotel cut beach plastic with coconut trees instead of umbrellas.
