Location
Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa
Somewhat away from downtown Oranjestad, the Manchebo is located directly on Eagle Beach, one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. A seemingly endless white strip of powdered sugar-fine beach separates the hotel from the turquoise blue sea. Despite the quiet location, travelers can reach the center of Oranjestad or the popular beaches and sightseeing spots on the island in no time at all.
Rooms & suites
Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa
The 72 rooms and suites are divided between two buildings. Guests can choose between sea or garden view. The interior is simple and elegant, but no less comfortable. From the rooms on the first floor, you can walk directly to the sun loungers on the beach, while those on the second floor offer a fantastic view over the palm trees and a balcony. In the bathroom, wood and marble elements add a sophisticated touch.
SPA
The leading wellness resort on Aruba focuses entirely on physical and mental well-being. You start each day with a yoga class in one of the two pavilions, while enjoying the sound of the sea and the gentle breeze. The resort's various yoga instructors add a personal touch to the classes - boredom is guaranteed to be a thing of the past, even during a longer stay. Tai Chi and Pilates are also on the wellbeing program. Afterwards, you can cool off in the pool or work out in the fitness room.

The five private cabanas of the Spa del Sol have a Balinese touch and offer guests well-deserved privacy while they are pampered by the skilled hands of the spa staff. At the heart of the tranquil oasis is a wonderful tropical garden with colorful plants. The treatments are based on natural products from Aruba Aloe, a local company that specializes in beauty and care products made from locally grown aloe vera plants.

Food & Drinks
The focus on wellbeing is also reflected in the menus. In the morning, you can enjoy freshly pressed smoothies made with the best ingredients. During the day and in the evening, the menu surprises with a large selection of plant-based dishes. Four different restaurants present a cuisine for every taste: Breakfast is served in the open-air restaurant Ike's Bistro and in the evening it serves as the main restaurant. Mediterranean cuisine is refined with Caribbean ingredients here. For more casual dining, head to the Pega Pega Beach Bar & Grill, where you can enjoy grilled dishes, burgers and local favorites while dipping your toes in the sand.

At The Chophouse you can dine on French cuisine in an elegant atmosphere. The French steakhouse was recently renovated and offers fine dining at the highest level. In addition to top-quality meat, local fish is also on the menu. Sushi lovers will be delighted with the new addition to the hotel: Japanese specialties are served in the Omakase Japanese Sushi Bar. A special tip: order the Omakase menu and be surprised with a four-course meal selected by the chef.
In conclusion
Manchebo Beach Resort & Spa
The Manchebo Beach Resort not only impresses with its boutique hotel ambience. The service staff are extremely friendly and welcome guests with genuine warmth. From breakfast to dinner - the culinary selection focuses on local products and it all tastes excellent.
