Real Estate in Palm Beach, Aruba

What buying in Palm Beach looks like

Palm Beach is the most recognised address in Aruba. The strip runs from the Ritz Carlton down to the low rise hotels and is lined with resort condominiums, gated communities and a handful of private villas. Most buyers here are looking for a turn key second home that can be rented out when they are not on the island, so layout, view and building amenities matter more than lot size.

Prices and property types

Condominiums dominate, from one bedroom units in newer developments to large beachfront residences. Villas and townhouses sit just inland in Noord, a few minutes drive from the sand. Freehold and long lease land both occur here, and the difference affects financing, transfer costs and resale, so it is checked before any offer is written.

Rental potential

Palm Beach carries year round occupancy from North American and European visitors, with peaks between December and April. Buildings differ in what they allow, some permit nightly rentals, others set a minimum stay or restrict rentals entirely. The homeowners association rules are reviewed before purchase so the numbers you plan on are the numbers you can actually run.
