Recommended shopping spots in Aruba, a Caribbean resort

Aruba, a shopping paradise, is home to many jewelry stores. Among them, Kay's Fine Jewelry is one of the most popular. Located in the heart of Oranjestad, Aruba’s downtown, the store is easily accessible.

Inside, you’ll find an array of Swiss watches, rings, necklaces, bangles, and more. The store is especially known for its outstanding staff—not only friendly but also highly skilled in recommending items. It’s a perfect spot for those looking for a special gift. Be sure to check it out.

2. Palm Beach Plaza Mall

Palm Beach Plaza Mall is located in northern Aruba, right in front of the stunning blue waters of Palm Beach. Covering 15,000 square meters, the mall offers everything from branded stores like Bally and Ferragamo to beach essentials like swimsuits and sandals. There’s even a Montblanc shop selling watches and fountain pens, making it appealing to male shoppers as well.

The mall is situated in a hotel-lined area and stays open until 10 PM, making it a convenient spot for Palm Beach guests. It also features dining, a bowling alley, and Aruba’s largest cinema—making it a great place to spend time when beach plans are interrupted by rain.

3. Aruba Aloe Balm

After soaking up the Caribbean sun, why not do a little shopping at Aruba Aloe Balm? They carry a full range of personal care products including hand creams, shampoos, shower gels, moisturizers, and sunscreens. If you’re unsure what to buy, travel-size sets are recommended—perfect for souvenirs too.

There are several Aruba Aloe Balm stores on the island, but we recommend visiting the one with the factory museum for a bit of sightseeing. By joining the tour, you can watch the aloe harvesting process and learn how the products are made.

4. Palmera Quality Products

Rum is one of the Caribbean’s specialties. While rum cakes and sweets are popular, those who enjoy alcohol may want to take home a bottle of rum itself. Palmera Quality Products offers a wide selection of locally produced rums. Flavors range from raspberry and cranberry to coffee and more.

One of the highlights of this store is that you can sample as many rums as you like until you find the one you love. Enjoy one bottle at your hotel and take another home as a souvenir.

5. Paseo Herencia Shopping and Entertainment Center

Paseo Herencia Shopping & Entertainment Center is designed with the concept of an old village. The center hosts many nighttime events including fountain shows and live performances—some even involve the audience, offering non-stop entertainment. It’s often referred to as the Las Vegas of Aruba.

You’ll find all the necessities here: sunglasses, T-shirts, swimsuits, clothing, and more. With a wide range of restaurants and cafés, many visitors choose to have dinner here every night during their stay. Enjoying Aruba’s lively nights with fellow travelers is part of the fun.
