Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort: Aruba’s Romantic Gem Among Condé Nast Traveler’s Top 40 Caribbean Resorts

Romance and relaxation come together in perfect harmony at Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort, the only Aruba property named among the Top 40 Resorts in the Caribbean Islands by Condé Nast Traveler’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards. The adults-only beachfront haven on Eagle Beach continues to define what it means to experience love, luxury, and sustainability in paradise.

A Place Where Love Never Ends

Set on the widest stretch of Aruba’s world-famous Eagle Beach, Bucuti & Tara has long been a sanctuary for couples seeking peace, privacy, and connection. Often described as one of the most romantic resorts in the Caribbean, every moment here feels effortless, from private beachfront dinners beneath the stars to tranquil mornings where the only sound is the ocean’s gentle rhythm.

This recognition from Condé Nast Traveler’s readers, over 757,000 discerning travelers, reinforces Bucuti & Tara’s position as one of the Caribbean’s most cherished destinations. The Readers’ Choice Awards are more than accolades; they’re love letters from guests who can’t wait to return.

“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,” says Crescenzia Biemans, Managing Director. “Every couple who visits us carries home a love story that grows richer with every memory.”

Romance Refined: The Bucuti & Tara Experience

At Bucuti & Tara, romance is not an afterthought, it’s the heart of everything. From the moment couples arrive, they are embraced by an atmosphere of serenity and genuine care. The resort’s intuitive hospitality ensures guests feel seen without ever being interrupted, creating a natural flow of comfort and connection.

Every detail is designed for two, from beachfront dining experiences and sunset yoga sessions to oceanfront spa treatments that nourish body and soul. Whether it’s a honeymoon, anniversary, or “just because,” Bucuti & Tara offers couples the freedom to unwind and rediscover each other in paradise.

Eco-Luxury that Inspires

Beyond its romantic allure, Bucuti & Tara leads the region in sustainable hospitality. As the Caribbean’s first and only carbon-neutral hotel, and soon to be Net Zero, the resort proves that luxury and environmental responsibility can coexist beautifully.

With over 400 eco-friendly practices, including Aruba’s largest private-sector solar power system and a 20-year ban on single-use plastics, every stay contributes to a greener planet. Guests enjoy farm-to-future dining at Elements Restaurant, where locally sourced ingredients highlight the island’s culinary heritage.

Wellness flows through every experience, from nature-immersed yoga decks to personalized wellness programs curated for couples. Bucuti & Tara invites guests to slow down, reconnect, and live well... naturally.

Aruba Shines Bright in the Caribbean

While Bucuti & Tara continues to elevate the standard of hospitality, Aruba itself earned a place among the Top 20 Islands in the Caribbean & Atlantic, ranking No. 6 overall. With year-round sunshine, cooling trade winds, and a famously welcoming spirit, Aruba remains one of the Caribbean’s most beloved islands, and Bucuti & Tara is proud to represent its best.

A Year of Remarkable Recognition

This latest honor joins a list of prestigious accolades for Bucuti & Tara. In 2025, TripAdvisor named the resort:

  • #1 Hotel in the Caribbean

  • #5 Hotel in the World

  • #2 Hotel to Treat Yourself in the World

Its signature Elements Restaurant was also named the #1 Fine Dining Restaurant in the Caribbean and #7 Best Date Night Spot in the World, a testament to the resort’s dedication to creating experiences that inspire love and connection.

Coming Soon: Terra by Jeremy Ford

Adding even more excitement to the resort’s story, Bucuti & Tara will soon debut Terra by Jeremy Ford, a new fine dining concept by Michelin-starred and Green Michelin Star chef Jeremy Ford, in collaboration with local partners Maurice and Karim Neme. This intimate restaurant will redefine sustainable gastronomy in Aruba, blending bold flavors with conscious craftsmanship, an experience designed for those who savor the extraordinary.
