Beach Umbrella Aruba: Already on the Sand, Just Show Up

Check availability & book your umbrellaReserve online. Umbrella and 2 chairs, set up for you.

Short answer: The easiest beach umbrella in Aruba is one that is already standing on the sand. Palapa Aruba sets up an umbrella and two chairs on Eagle Beach or Palm Beach, reserved in your name from 10 AM to 4 PM. It costs $120 a day with tax, and you carry nothing.

Book before you arrive. You can reserve online before you even land in Aruba, so you never depend on turning up as a walk-in and hearing that the umbrellas are sold out. Your set is held for your date and standing on the sand when you get there.

Your beach umbrella Aruba options, compared

Aruba is sunny almost every day, so shade matters. Most visitors weigh four options. Here is how each one works in real life.

Free palapas. They cost nothing, but they are usually taken by around 5 AM in high season. You cannot book them.
Buying your own umbrella. It sounds cheap. However, you have to carry it and dig it in, and the trade winds are strong.
A delivery service. Someone drops an umbrella at your hotel. Then you still haul it, plant it and fight the wind.
A set that is already on the sand. You walk up, give your name and sit down. That is what we do.

Why the wind decides which beach umbrella works

Aruba has steady trade winds, so a loose umbrella can lift and blow down the beach. That is why our umbrellas are anchored and built for these conditions. As a result, your shade stays exactly where we put it.
