Where to Go in May: Why Aruba Should Be on Your List

When spring starts to fade and summer plans are still just a thought, May offers the perfect moment to pause, recharge, and escape somewhere special. If you're searching for sunshine, soft sand, and a destination that feels just far enough away, look no further than Aruba and more specifically, Eagle Beach. This Caribbean gem combines picture-perfect weather, peaceful beaches, and heartfelt hospitality. And nestled right on the sand, you'll find one of the island’s best-kept secrets: Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort.

Why Aruba in May?

While much of the world is still dealing with unpredictable spring rain or waiting for summer to start, Aruba is already in full bloom. May brings long, sun-drenched days, warm ocean breezes, and that signature Aruban glow without the crowds. It’s the kind of destination that feels effortless. You wake up with the sun, spend your afternoons barefoot, and end each day with a sunset you’ll wish could last just a little longer.

Fewer Tourists, More Tranquility

May falls just after the busy winter season, which means Aruba feels more relaxed, more open, and more yours. On Eagle Beach, that means uninterrupted ocean views, quiet morning walks, and plenty of room to spread out in the shade of a palapa. It’s the perfect time to enjoy Aruba’s natural beauty without the buzz of peak-season crowds.

Eagle Beach: Aruba’s Peaceful Paradise

Palm Beach may get all the attention, but Eagle Beach Aruba is where travelers in-the-know come for calm, space, and beauty. With its soft white sand and turquoise water, it's often named one of the best beaches in Aruba and for good reason. If you’re someone who values quality time, quiet moments, and the sound of waves over nightlife and crowds, Eagle Beach was made for you.

Stay Boutique. Stay Beachfront.

Amsterdam Manor Beach Resort sits right on Eagle Beach—not near it, not across the road, but on it. As a boutique hotel with just 72 rooms, it offers a peaceful, intimate experience with all the comforts of a larger resort and none of the overwhelm. Think warm, personal service. Dutch-Caribbean charm. Breakfast with a view. And evenings spent dining with your toes in the sand at Passions on the Beach.

May Is Closer Than You Think

If you’ve been dreaming of a quick, soul-soothing escape, May is the time to turn that dream into a plan. Our resort offers exclusive perks for direct bookings. And best of all, Aruba is always just a few hours from home but feels like a world away.
