Renaissance Island (Flamingo Beach)
Aruba's resident flamingos on a private island, reached by the resort's water taxi.
Full Day
Most exclusive
Book this if
- You want to see the flamingos on their own island, close or not
- You want a quiet private-island beach day rather than a busy public beach
- You want calm, clear lagoon water to swim in
- You're chasing an Instagram-worthy shot
Skip this if
- You want a beach day you can decide on that morning: passes open only once a week
- You are travelling with children who want the flamingos, since Flamingo Beach is 18 and over outside the 9 to 10 AM hour
- You would rather not pay $125 a guest when Aruba's public beaches are free
Why our team recommends it
Renaissance Island is the real thing for flamingo photos: the birds roam a private beach with calm, clear water on both sides of the island. Passes open once a week, Saturdays at 9 am Aruba time for the coming Sunday through Saturday, so it takes planning unless you are staying at the resort. If the flamingos are the point of the trip, that Saturday alarm is the whole job.
Pro tip
There is no lobby queue and no walk-up: passes are sold only on the resort's official portal, and they open Saturdays at 9 am Aruba time for the coming Sunday through Saturday. If the date matters more than the room, a night at the resort comes with island access; confirm the terms when you book.
