Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba

What we ❤️ about this resort:

  • Two words: Private island. Renaissance Island is a fan favorite thanks to its frolicking flamingos, an adults-only section with a beach bar and private cabanas
  • Night owl? The Lounge overlooks the casino and offers live music and all-night snacks and drinks. (Seriously, all night - they close at 6 a.m.)

Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba has the only private beach on the island, with  sections for adults and families, and lots of photogenic flamingos.

Located along the bustling shopping district in downtown Oranjestad, Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort & Casino is two resorts in one: the family-friendly Ocean Suites and the adults-only Marina Hotel. Book this resort for its private island – just a quick water taxi ride away. Highlights of the resort include:
