About this property
Villa Amarc: Family Fun, Kite Surf, Balcony View minutes to Rodgers/Baby Beach!
Only two minutes by car to Baby Beach, Rodgers Beach, and the kite surfing mecca Boca Grandi--all on the "quiet" side of the island! You'll have mornings practically alone, easy access to the Arikok park, amazing peace and solitude--but still just 20 minutes to downtown Oranjestad!
Enjoy the sunrise or sunset on TWO upstairs balconies, or Netflix and Chill with the Veranda doors open--no AC needed! This is a lovely way to see Aruba, but enjoy seclusion and everything you need with your family or group of friends!

About the host
Hosted by Amalia Alvarez, Ph.D.
My mom is a retired educator, having been a Supervisor, a Professor of Spanish language, and a well-love High School Spanish Educator based in Gainesville Florida. After coming from Cuba, she received a Ph.D from UF, and raised her two children, Amalie and Marcus.
Aruba, at Villa Amarc, is a wonderful, accessible, and consistently beautiful place to share time with her children and family, plus their friends! Hopefully you'll feel the same!

Why they chose this property
Amalia first visited Aruba yearly since 2001, and stayed at a time share. She loved the island with its people, its constant breeze, its different music, and languages (many islanders speak English. Dutch, Spanish and Papiamento!). Even better, both of her kids loved the consistency of the weather and easy access, and thus, she decided to built a house in the best island of the Caribbean Sea.
Away from hurricanes, barely any mosquitoes, good weather year around, and able to speak English or Spanish and feel quite safe--not the same in other islands--Villa Amarc was built in 2007 and has become a place to create wonderful memories of an incredible island: Aruba!

What makes this property unique
Villa Amarc puts you so close to three of Aruba's most incredible beaches and waters--while getting you away from the bustle of tourists! Villa Amarc is situated in the middle of the transforming-yet-historical Seroe Colorado area. You will feel like you are back in time: mornings alone on a beach with hardly any tourists, surrounded by nature and quiet, and all the amenities you need to get away and enjoy!
However, you are still only minutes away from San Nicolas's Art and Food. And a few more away from the Casino's and High Rises the island has to offer (the island is only 20 miles across!).
Best of all, by staying in such a unique area, you'll be drawn to explore some of the less-known and hidden treasures, such as driving your jeep into Arikok Natural Park via the back entrance, or enjoying Kamini's Kitchen & incredible island cuisine and art of San Nicolas, or finding your way to the Aruba Volcano or Frenchman's Pass!
