/Aruba

Blessed with a climate much sunnier and drier than other Caribbean destinations, Aruba is Dutch, delightful and has a desert. Basking on Aruba's beaches, where it's almost always breezy and 82 degrees Fahrenheit, is only one of the island's many attractions. Its Palm Beach and Eagle Beach, incidentally, stretch for some seven miles and the world famous Fishermans Huts attracts thousands of windsurfers annually for some of the best sail boarding conditions on the globe.

Technically a part of The Netherlands, Aruba inherited Dutch architecture with distinctive facades straight out of Amsterdam. The island even has a mountain, the 541-foot Hooiberg, from which you can sometimes see the South American country of Venezuela.
