Aruba: The idyllic 'one happy island' that literally has everything you could dream of

The UK only averages 1403 hours of sun a year, so when I was invited to visit Aruba it was a no-brainer. Aruba is known as "One Happy Island," as well as "the best island holiday destination", and within the first 24 hours, I understood exactly why. It boasts desert, nature, adventure, gastronomy, music, and street art, and has acres of white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters.

For a better understanding of the island’s uniqueness, I hopped on a jeep tour for an excursion of Aruba's National Park, Parke Nacional Arikok. A natural area, located in the north-eastern part of Aruba, it contains examples of most of the island’s flora and fauna against a backdrop of great geological complexity.

You really can't beat dining on the beach, with your toes dipped in the sand whilst listening to the peaceful sound of the waves rolling on the shore and watching Aruba's sky slowly change from blue to hues of bright orange red and pinks.
