Romance & Magic on Aruba

Tis the season of love.  It’s February and we all know that Cupid makes his appearance on Valentine’s Day, with couples seeking romantic experiences to celebrate their love.  Dinner reservations are being made and flowers are being ordered, but if you’re looking for something that’s a little different and decidedly romantic and intimate, how about a picnic in paradise with a MAGICal touch?

Aruba’s premier gourmet picnic experience is beautifully curated by Picnic Aruba, the creative minds behind the renowned beach caterers, The Little One. Picnic Aruba curates luxury pop-up picnics with a backdrop of serene beachside settings with an island Boho chic vibe. 

There’s a variety of menus to consider, from a classic gourmet charcuterie experience to a four-course dinner under the stars.  Pair your romantic culinary adventure in paradise with the tropical vibes of ice-cold Magic Mango!

Are you a do-it-yourself kinda person?  Pack your own picnic basket and cooler of Magic Mango and surprise your special someone with a picnic at an off-the-beaten path location.  Here are some MAGICal spots to consider:

Lighthouse Beach

Along the north coast and just beyond the California Lighthouse and Dunes is this gem of a beach.  Majestic boulders and crashing waves bring a sense of dramatic beauty and seclusion to any picnic. 

Tres Trapi

Enjoy a picnic and a lovely dip into the crystal-clear waters of this spot located along the limestone cliffs of this northwest coastal enclave.  Steps carved into the limestone lead down to a shallow cove.  

Yamanota

If you and your partner enjoy hiking, we suggest a picnic at Yamanota. Offering a birds-eye view at 620 feet, hikers discover sheer serenity atop Yamanota, the island’s highest elevation point granting panoramic views worth remembering.  Picturesque contours of the northern and southern shores are captured from a single vantage point, offer a picture-perfect picnic.

Spanish Lagoon

Characterized by a ledge of limestone that runs along some of Aruba’s most vivid and striking turquoise waters,  there are several spots here with picnic tables that are ideal for a picnic in paradise.   

Mangel Halto

Enjoy your picnic in the shade of the mangrove forest here and don’t forget to bring your snorkel gear!  You can grab a couple of ice-cold Magic Mango beers at neighboring Mangel Halto Bar.

Mountain Biking Trails

If you’re a couple that loves adventure, put some snacks, Dasani water, and a couple of Magic Mangos in your backpack and head out on the 29 miles of sustainably developed mountain biking trails that run through the countryside and along the north coast.  There’re so many unique spots to stop and enjoy a magical moment in paradise together.
