The brief

The reason to consider it.

This well-maintained property in the Alto Vista neighborhood operates as a successful short-term Airbnb rental, generating immediate cash flow.

It is set on 400 m² of government long lease land, valid through October 10, 2044. The main residence features 2 spacious bedrooms, 2 modern bathrooms, a bright living area, and an updated kitchen. Quality finishes include porcelain tile flooring, PVC and wooden beam ceilings, aluminum windows/doors, and an instant water heater. The outdoor area opens onto a 27.50 m² covered rear patio overlooking a private, low-maintenance backyard with an inground fiberglass pool, and a secure concrete and wood perimeter fence.

There is built-in expansion potential for an additional 60.00 m² extension, with the foundation and masonry walls already in place. This space can be finished to create a larger multi-bedroom villa or add separate guest suites to maximize rental yield.

Located in Noord, the property is minutes from Aruba’s top beaches, Palm Beach dining, shopping, and nightlife. It is ideal as a high-performing vacation rental or a private island retreat with room to grow.
