Palm Beach Aruba

Directions to Palm Beach Aruba

Getting to Palm Beach is incredibly straightforward, whether you are staying in a different part of the island or coming straight from your flight. Located in the northern region of the island known as Noord, Palm Beach sits roughly 7 miles (11 km) north of Queen Beatrix International Airport (AUA) and about 4 miles north of the cruise ship terminal in downtown Oranjestad.

Where to Find Public Parking at Palm Beach

Because Palm Beach is dominated by major high-rise resorts, finding parking can occasionally be a puzzle if you aren’t staying on site. Look for public access parking lots near Moomba Beach Bar & Restaurant on the northern end, or use the paid parking structures located at the Palm Beach Plaza Mall and The Paseo Herencia Mall, both situated just across the street from the resorts.
