Wondering when it’s cheapest to visit Aruba? This guide breaks down the most affordable — and most expensive — times to plan your trip.

Eagle Beach, Aruba

Cheapest Time to Visit Aruba

If you’re searching for the cheapest time to visit Aruba it’s during the summer and early fall low season, when fewer travelers visit due to the Caribbean hurricane season—though Aruba is south of the hurricane belt and rarely impacted.

Mid-April to Mid-December (Excluding Holidays) – Hotels and resorts drop rates, with discounts often reaching 30–50%. Flights from the U.S. are cheaper, and beaches are quieter.
September to Early November – Deepest savings of the year. While other islands risk storms, Aruba sees steady sun and warm temperatures.

Most Expensive Time to Visit Aruba

If you’re wanting to avoid the most expensive times to visit Aruba it’s during the dry winter season and major holiday weeks, when the island is packed with tourists escaping the cold.

Late December to Mid-April (High Season) – The most expensive time to visit Aruba. Resorts near Palm Beach and Oranjestad book months in advance, and flights from the U.S. and Europe surge in price.
Christmas & New Year’s Week – Peak of the peak season, with holiday surcharges and 7-night minimum stays at top resorts.
Easter & Spring Break (March–April) – Families flock to the island, driving up hotel and airfare prices.
Major Events – Aruba Carnival (January–February) and Aruba Hi-Winds windsurfing competition (June–July) cause short-term price increases.

Best Time To Visit For Good Weather On A Budget

If you're on a budget and wanting to save some money but still want sunny skies without peak-season rates, aim for late spring and early winter shoulder seasons.

Late April to Early June – Warm, dry weather with fewer crowds and lower prices.
Late November to Mid-December – Just before the holiday rush, with plenty of sunshine and better deals on accommodations.
