Out & About: A Guide to Going Out with Pride in Aruba.

Pride Month is HERE! From breakfast, brunches to late-night cocktails, these are my go-to spots in Aruba that are safe and inclusive.

Amore Mio Pizzeria Napolitana

Amore Mio always hits the spot with pizzas and spritzes. It's one of the places I frequent the most! This Pride Month, they are organizing a Pride Breakfast on June 28th with a live DJ by Adrián Croes, unlimited mimosas for Afl. 25, special cocktails, a surprise gift, and all the rainbow vibes you can imagine.

Zima at JOIA Aruba by Iberostar

Zima rose to the top quickly as one of the chicest places to hang out on a Friday afternoon to see and be seen. They offer a Friday & Saturday Happy Hour from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM with 50% OFF on special cocktails. Just in time to catch the sunset with a drink in hand and get that stunning Instagram story of the sunset! Live entertainment from 7:30 PM.

Elephant in The Room

This gorgeous garden is serving beach club fantasy: think cozy tippies, laid-back beach chairs, and eclectic furniture scattered throughout. Surrounded by lush greenery and vibrant blooms, it's the perfect spot to soak in the vibes and enjoy live DJ sets under the open sky. For Pride Month, try their signature cocktail: “Fierce”, A bold, glitter-kissed vodka punch with tropical fire and unapologetic flavor, 2 for the price of 1.

Follow them on Instagram to stay in the loop on the upcoming Pride Party, one last celebration before the month wraps, that promises a really fun time, all night long!

Mercát at Aruba Marriott Resort

Mercát is all about indulgence, and this Pride, they’re serving it with extra sparkle. Back by popular demand, two dazzling Pride Brunches are on the menu:

🌙 Night Brunch – June 21 | 6–10 PM

An elevated evening affair featuring a decadent buffet, unlimited cocktails, and show-stopping drag entertainment. $65 per person.

☀️ Day Brunch – June 29 | 11 AM–2 PM

The classic daytime affair, featuring Mercát’s beloved buffet spread and bottomless mimosas. Also $65 and just as great.

Reservations are flying, so grab your spot before it’s gone!

Hoya

There’s no need to spell out the vibe at Hoya; they know how to celebrate, and they’ve proven it time and again with their massive block parties that are an absolute must. This downtown Oranjestad spot is celebrating Pride with a special cocktail: The Pink Lion Lemonade, $9. It's got the color, it's got the vodka... What's not to love? Stop by and sip away!

Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort

If you drive by the Renaissance Resort downtown, you'll see that during this month at night, they have the Pride Flag illuminating the building by the pool deck. They said: visibility is important! We're here, and we support the community! As for specials, they have at the Blue Bar, The Pink Lover Cocktail for $12: A mix of Cherry Vodka, Triple Sec, Raspberry Syrup, and Pineapple Juice.

Open daily, from 10 am to midnight. Happy hour from 5-6 pm. Live DJ from 5 to 8 pm.

Boutique Speakeasy

Boutique Speakeasy is the spot in Palm Beach right now. Tucked away with a sultry vibe and a killer cocktail list, this moody hideaway fills up fast every weekend with an eclectic crowd, both local and foreign, ready to sip, mingle, and move.

Bonus? It’s home to Aruba’s first genderless bathrooms, because everyone deserves to feel welcome.

This month, they’re turning things up with Drag Bingo on June 19 at 7 PM. It’s bold, it’s fun, and seats are very limited, so definitely make a reservation if you want in.

Azar

The drinks and food at Azar are always correct. No surprise this spot’s a go-to hangout for locals, tourists, and everyone in between. Think about a delicious dinner open fire style (the Roasted Chicken is my favorite!) that flows into fiery cocktails at their sexy bar. That's a plan!

Tierra del Sol

Looking for that White Lotus vibe without leaving Aruba? The Club House at Tierra del Sol is exactly that: serene and chic. The full fantasy.

For just $35, you get a day pass to their pool and bar area, and here’s the best part: $25 of that goes right back to you as food and beverage credit. It’s basically the best mini-vacation deal on the island. A reservation is required.

If you just need a reset, this is the go-to spot to unwind, sip something refreshing, and pretend you’re on a luxury getaway, if only for the day.

The St. Regis Bar at The St. Regis Aruba Resort

So you wanna go for an effortless, elegant vibe? The St. Regis Bar is your spot. Think dazzling sushi, zesty ceviche on ice, the perfect glass of wine, and sleek cocktails, all served in the most stylish setting. I'll let you in on a little secret: You'll get a 20% Discount if you show your local ID when the bill arrives.

5 O'Clock Somewhere Bat & Grill at The Renaissance Marketplace

The Renaissance Marketplace also dressed to the nines, lighting up their palm trees in rainbow colors! They want everybody to know this is a place where inclusivity and celebration are in full swing. 5 O'clock Somewhere Bar & Grill, the bar in the center of The Marketplace, is having a special Pride Punch for $8, crafted with a tropical medley of fruity flavors and a splash of island spirit, it’s the perfect sip for a casual night out, happy hour, or just living your best life.

Open daily from 12 PM to 12 AM.  Happy Hour from 5 PM – 6 PM and incredible daily bites and drink offers.
