Or welcome, as they say in Aruba, to the Dutch Caribbean Island that invites the traveler in search of beautiful, white sand beaches and the ultimate surf. Aruba, located in the southern Caribbean, is one of the three ABC islands. The other two islands are Bonaire and Curacao. Aruba is located only a mere 15 miles off the coast of Venezuela and is the most southern and western of the ABC’s. Aruba is unique from the other ABC islands, in that it became a separate member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1986. It has diversified and developed itself greatly and has become one of the leaders in tourism amongst the Caribbean islands. Movement toward full independence was halted at Aruba's request in 1990. Oranjestad, the capital city, is the center of shopping on the island. There are hundreds of shops that offer a variety of items to choose from. The island also is home to many casinos and a variety of restaurants and also offers exciting nightlife. Many of Arubans are from Indian decent. In 1499, Spanish explorer, Alonso de Ojeda, claimed the island for the Spanish Crown. The Spanish never colonized the desert island, as they found it useless. In 1636, the Dutch took possession of the island until losing power in 1805, when the English gained brief control. In 1816, the Dutch gained permanent control and now Aruba is a separate member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

UK Clients Call 0-800-917-4619 If you are looking for great diving and an intimate and unique Caribbean vacation, then the Dutch island of Curacao is the place to be. Curacao, one of the ABC islands (the other two being Aruba and Bonaire), is one of the best spots in the world for snorkeling and diving. When visiting Curacao, it is mandatory to take a peek just below the surface of the beautiful Caribbean waters that surround her and enjoy all of the wonders below that this island has to offer. The island of Curacao certainly maintains its Dutch heritage throughout its architecture. Alongside the St. Anna Bay in downtown Willemstad, Curacao’s capital, the buildings are dressed in pastel colors and maintain the design of the traditional early Dutch colonial style buildings. Willemstad is the center for all of Curacao’s shopping, business and land exploring. The city is divided into two main parts, Otrabanda and Punda, by the St. Anna Bay. Buildings on both sides of the bay have a very similar look. The streets, however, do not. While Punda enjoys neat, perpendicular streets, Otrabanda’s layout consists more of twisting and curving streets. Both sides of the city harbor rich, historical pasts. In both Otrabanda and Punda, you will find interesting museums that date back to Curacao’s most interesting times over the course of centuries. Curacao, the largest of the Dutch Caribbean islands, was settled by the Spanish in 1527. The Dutch gained power in 1634 and have primarily retained possession of the island to this day. In the 1600s, Curacao was the center of the West Indian slave trade. After the abolition of slavery in 1863, petroleum became a great economic strength to Curacao in the 20th century, along with the ever growing emphasis on tourism. Curacao does not hide its shameful past, however. Most, if not all, of the museums in the city of Willemstad, offer insight and knowledge of the “black holocaust” that forever changed the island. The museum located at Hotel Kura Hulanda has probably the largest collection of African artifacts in the Caribbean.
