What to pack for Aruba in the winter

Lightweight, breathable clothing is essential, as temperatures typically range from the mid-70s to low 80s. Bring plenty of swimsuits, coverups, and sunscreen for days spent lounging on the pristine beaches and enjoying water activities like snorkeling and paddleboarding.

Casual sundresses, shorts, and t-shirts are perfect for exploring the island's attractions, like the Arikok National Park and the colorful capital city of Oranjestad. Comfortable walking shoes or sandals are a must, as well as a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect against the strong sun. In the evenings, pack a light sweater or shawl for cooler breezes, and opt for resort casual attire if dining out or attending any events.

Don't forget to bring insect repellent for protection against mosquitoes.
