A trip to Aruba may be the beginning of the end for Julia Roberts’ marriage in her new film ‘Eat Pray Love’ (out in the UK this month) but for most couples romance rules on Aruba.

Here are our top suggestions for couples in Aruba:

Sunset cruise: Take Aruba’s most romantic aspects and set sail with them, as you watch the pristine white sand beaches skim by. The rays of the setting sun will bathe the cruise boat, followed by the captivating moonlight, which will shimmer off the waters.

Whether you lounge below by the open bar, enjoying tasty tropical snacks and assorted cool cocktails, or stay on deck, taking in a refreshing breeze and the sights along the shoreline, it will be a sensational feeling.

Moonlight dinner on the beach: It will not take long to find the right ambiance for a romantic dinner in Aruba… Hovering over the ocean like a glowing lantern, Pincho’s Grill and Bar is built on a rustic pier: with only 11 tables, it glimmers at night from a distance as hundreds of lights reflect off the water.

Alternatively, stay on shore and sample exquisite dishes at Passions on the Beach, with the soft light of torches all around and sugary white sand between your toes.

The choices to taste Aruba’s fine cuisine on the beach are endless, with the sound of waves and a breathtaking sunset as the natural backdrop.

Discover the romantic allure of the Baby Beach: Located at the southeastern end of the island, Baby Beach has taken its name from its shallow waters which are safe enough even for a baby – although many may argue that it is actually because the beach is so romantic that a lot of babies are conceived there!

Baby Beach is a sandy half-moon expanse in a calm lagoon, with alabaster sand dunes and waters so beautiful it feels as if they have been photoshopped! Swimmers can wade out for a long distance and still touch the sea bottom, while where the bay opens out to the sea, snorkellers will behold a colourful kaleidoscope of coral and tropical fish!
