Paradera is in the heart of Aruba

Paradera might not have the glitz and glam of Aruba's capital Oranjestad, but it's deeply charming nonetheless. Paradera vacation rentals are little oases away from the crowds on the coastline. It's located slap bang in the center of the island, but you can still be stretched out on the sandy beaches, or exploring the buzzy streets and eateries of Oranjestad, in under 10 minutes. If you've brought your hiking boots, don't miss a walk through the national park to catch a glimpse of some fascinating indigenous critters. Afterwards, escape back to your peaceful little retreat.

Things to do

Paradera is ideally placed for Aruba exploration

If you want a day away from the beach, you've got plenty to keep you busy around your Paradera vacation rental. Within walking distance, you can visit the Casibari, a cluster of unique rock formations which offer some astounding views, while the nearby White Knight Observatory Aruba is one of the first automated observatories on the island. Neighboring Oranjestad is a treasure strove of fascinating museums and Dutch colonial architecture, so it's well worth a day of exploration. If you bring the kids, you can swing by the Aruba Ostrich Farm to see an 80-strong herd of the huge flightless birds.

Activities

Kick back or go full throttle at Paradera

Whatever you're interested in, this tiny island has got you covered. If you want to spend your days being a beach bum on the white, powdery sand, Aruba's your kind of place. However, if you get a little restless sunbathing, you can always get the blood flowing with a swim in the refreshing ocean, or by going full-throttle on jet skis across the water's surface. Like much of the Caribbean, Aruba is a paradise for anglers. You'll find several daily sports fishing charters near your Paradera vacation rental, who'll take you out to nab that all important sailfish trophy.

Weather

Paradera is a Caribbean hotspot

This little Caribbean island sits just off the coast of Venezuela, well away from the hurricane belt, making it a year-round destination hotspot. Most choose to stay in a Paradera vacation rental during the winter, when they fly south to escape the cold weather back home, but with prices soaring and cruise ship passengers crowding the beaches, it's not always the best time to visit. A little later in the year, between April and August, the temperature rises, the crowds thin out and the prices take a nosedive, making it perfect for those looking for a Caribbean getaway without the hefty price tag.
