I can proudly say my passport has officially been stamped traveling to all the ABC Islands. Aruba is more than an island escape—it’s a revelation. Often labeled a desert destination, the truth is much more enchanting: Aruba is the oasis we’ve all been searching for, where coastal beauty, cultural warmth, and elevated hospitality converge. Completing our ABC Islands journey, JOIA Aruba by Iberostar stands not just as a place to stay, but as a destination to celebrate life’s most meaningful moments—weddings, honeymoons, anniversaries, or simply a needed reset in paradise.
Located on the iconic sands of Eagle Beach, JOIA Aruba blends boutique elegance with all the amenities of a modern luxury resort. The adults-only infinity pool overlooks the Caribbean horizon, the ocean is just steps away, and the suites—240 in total—offer breathtaking views that feel like private postcards. Couples, and groups will find the balance that so many resorts struggle to achieve: intimacy without isolation, and exclusivity without pretension.
A Destination for “Yes”
For couples considering a wedding in paradise, JOIA Aruba delivers options—from barefoot beach ceremonies to ballroom celebrations. The dedicated bridal suite, romantic event venues, and attentive planning team ensure every detail feels intentional. The itinerary we experienced confirmed this, with themed dinners like Nature of Love, Sugar & Citrus, and Pure Luxe showcasing how effortlessly the resort creates atmosphere and emotional impact. JOIA proved it can handle everything from intimate elopements to multi-day wedding weekends with family and friends.
Perfect Romance Exploration With The Perfect Weather
And location matters: minutes from downtown Oranjestad, guests can explore local culture, shopping, and nightlife without sacrificing beachfront serenity. For destination weddings, this means your guests have both adventure and relaxation at their fingertips. For honeymoons, it means privacy when you want it—and access when you’re ready to rejoin the world.
Honeymoons, Anniversaries & Romance Travel
JOIA’s culinary offerings feel tailored for romantic memory-making. Breakfasts at Bucatini, coastal dining at Marea, sunsets at Zima Rooftop Bar—every meal becomes part of the love story. Spa Sensations extends the experience with customized wellness treatments, hydrotherapy, and the kind of peaceful stillness couples crave after months of planning. It’s an ideal space to exhale, reconnect, and begin again.
Girls’ Trips, Bachelor Weekends & Family Celebrations
JOIA Aruba isn’t only about I Do’s and honeymoons—it’s a destination for community. The itinerary reflected that range, from vow renewal ceremonies and spa appointments to group dinners, golf at Tierra del Sol, and island tours that introduced us to Aruba’s historic landmarks and soul. This property works beautifully for:
- Bridal party weekends
- Bachelorette & bachelor trips
- Family destination weddings
- Multi-generational vacations
- Celebrations that need both energy & elegance
When a resort can host romance, relaxation, and revelry—and do it well—that is luxury.
