Aruba’s beloved Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort has once again captured international acclaim, earning a place among the Top 40 Resorts in the Caribbean in the 2025 Condé Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards. It proudly stands as the only Aruba resort to receive this prestigious honor.
Each year, more than 750,000 Condé Nast Traveler readers vote for their favorite destinations and stays, creating a “love letter” to the world’s most memorable travel experiences. Bucuti & Tara’s inclusion reflects its exceptional reputation for romance, serenity, and intuitive hospitality—qualities that keep couples returning year after year.
Set along the widest stretch of Eagle Beach, one of the “Dream Beaches of the World,” Bucuti & Tara blends refined romance with environmental stewardship. As the Caribbean’s first and only certified carbon-neutral hotel, the resort continues to set the bar for sustainable luxury with over 400 mindful practices, from solar power and plastic-free operations to locally inspired dining at its award-winning Elements Restaurant.
“Being named once again by Condé Nast Traveler’s readers—worldly travelers who recognize true excellence—is a reflection of our passionate team and cherished guests,” said Crescenzia Biemans, Managing Director. “Every couple who visits us carries home a love story that grows richer with every memory.”
This new recognition adds to an already remarkable year of accolades. In 2025, Tripadvisor named Bucuti & Tara the No. 1 Hotel in the Caribbean and No. 5 Hotel in the World, while Elements Restaurant was ranked No. 1 Fine Dining Restaurant in the Caribbean. The resort is also preparing to unveil Terra by Jeremy Ford, a new fine dining concept from the Michelin-starred chef behind Miami’s Stubborn Seed.
Aruba itself also shines in this year’s Condé Nast Traveler awards, ranking No. 6 among the Top 20 Islands in the Caribbean & Atlantic—a testament to the island’s enduring appeal and warm hospitality.
