Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort
Location
With Eagle Beach - voted the most beautiful beach in the Caribbean - right on its doorstep, the hotel is located between the center of Oranjestaad and Noord. There's only a streetcar in Oranjestaad on Aruba, but there are public buses and cabs. Thanks to the relatively small size of the island, you can quickly get to all the important sightseeing points from the hotel.

Rooms & suites
The Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is divided into two houses: the Bucuti and the Tara. The standard rooms and junior suites are located in the Bucuti building; all larger suites and the penthouse suite are in the Tara building. The rooms are discreetly elegant, with spacious bathrooms and private terraces. The larger suites have sun loungers on the terraces. The beds are extremely comfortable and ensure a restful night's sleep. Each room has a small kitchenette where you can prepare snacks.

Food & Drinks
The breakfast buffet offers fresh fruit and sourdough bread as well as numerous desserts and omelettes. The Elements restaurant and the beach bar serve a wide selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes. The homemade truffle fries are a real must-try. In addition to international classics, you'll also find regional dishes and meals on the menu. During the daily Healthy Hour, guests can enjoy healthy drinks and cocktail alternatives at the bar.

Sustainability & nature conservation
Sustainability is a major concern for founder and owner Ewald Bieman. Born in Austria, he has been campaigning for a more sustainable future in tourism for years. That's why you won't find any disposable plastic anywhere in the hotel. Guests are provided with aluminum drinking bottles that they can continue to use after their departure. Solar panels supply the house with energy. Beach clean-up campaigns are regularly organized with guests. Guests can even actively generate energy in the fitness studio: Several treadmills and bikes generate electricity when used, which is fed into the resort. Bucuti & Tara is the first and only carbon neutral hotel in the Caribbean. As Eagle Beach is also a popular destination for sea turtles, special attention is paid to whether their nests are on the beach. When it's time for the eggs to hatch, guests can experience this unique natural spectacle up close - at a safe distance.

In conclusion
If you are looking for a relaxing adults-only break in the Caribbean, the Bucuti & Tara Resort is just the place for you. Understated luxury, attentive service and excellent food make the resort the ideal hideaway. Another bonus point is the wonderful Eagle Beach, with its snow-white sand and crystal-clear water.
