The St. Regis Aruba Resort

Palm Beach. Palm Beach: lively, high-rise.

Our verdict

Opened in January 2025 with 252 rooms, six pools, six places to eat and drink including the rooftop Akira Back, butler service and the first St. Regis casino.

The catch

Not all-inclusive and one of the island's most expensive stays, with a nightly resort fee on top. Advisors who stayed found the beach in front less crowded but not as wide.
