FIFTEEN ACRES OF tropical gardens, exotic lagoons, cascading waterfalls and warm ivory sand surround Radisson Aruba Resort, Casino & Spa. Couples can spend the morning swimming in the turquoise surf, then laze away the afternoon by one of two zero-entry pools or with an alfresco couples massage. A torch-lit dinner for two completes a perfectly romantic day.

Brides and grooms have more than 24,000-square-feet of outdoor space to peruse for their wedding. Assisted by the resort’s event specialists, they can take their vows amid dramatic greenery or on the beach at sunset, and then celebrate their union under the stars with champagne and four-diamond cuisine.

Time surrounding the big day may be spent windsurfing, snorkeling or golfing. For the ultimate in relaxation, world-renowned Larimar Spa—named for the aqua-colored healing stones native to the area—features nine deluxe treatment rooms and an extensive menu of services.

Guests retire to one of 354 rooms and suites, all designed in colonial West Indian-style, with dark mahogany furniture and Italian marble baths. Couples can enjoy breakfast on their private balcony, sipping mimosas and nibbling fresh fruit while savoring inspiring views of the gardens, lagoons or sea.
