Best Times to Visit Aruba
The best time to visit Aruba is from April to August -- a huge window of time when the island's high prices take a holiday. And since the island sits well outside the hurricane belt, there's very little threat of tropical storms at this time. January to March features pleasant weather, but the room prices can be a scandal. You could also find discounts if you travel in the early fall. Whenever you visit, keep in mind Aruba is prone to high trade winds -- which makes for a great experience for windsurfers and a hold-onto-your-hat one for others.

The good news: If you begin your search several months to a full year in advance, you could find something a lot more reasonable. Temperatures are steady in the mid 70s to mid 80s, and there's very little rain. Key Events:
