Travel Safety in Aruba

Aruba is a relatively safe island. The only security issue of any concern is crime. Petty crime such as pickpocketing and theft of unattended valuables is known to occur in areas popular with tourists, such as Oranjestad and San Nicolas. Break-ins targeting unoccupied guesthouses and rental homes are also occasionally reported.

Violent crime is rare, although travellers have fallen victim to armed robberies, particularly when visiting isolated beaches at night.

Demonstrations are uncommon. There is currently no major concern related to terrorism and kidnapping.

Hurricanes are possible between June and November, but occur less frequently than islands further north in the Caribbean.

Medical infrastructure is generally acceptable.
