Savaneta - Home to the Old Aloe House Aruba and one of the 20 most charming beach towns in the Caribbean!

TravelMag surveyed more than 300 travel writers, social media influencers and travel professionals, asking them to pick the most charming beach towns and villages in the Caribbean and Savaneta was one of them!

As the former capital city (until 1797), Savaneta claims a long history, evident in the island’s oldest surviving home, a 150-year-old mud hut. Now, the town is a base for the Royal Netherlands Navy and the Aruban Military, as well as an Olympic pool complex, where elite local and international swimmers train. Even so, you’ll find plenty of charm and a local, laid-back vibe with little pretension. A favorite hidden gem is Mangel Halto beach, flanked by mangrove trees and boasting shallow, calm waters protected by a barrier reef.
