Short answer: as far as we know, no. Aruba has no official nude beaches and no full nudist resort, and nudity is not allowed on its public beaches. Some resorts offer private or clothing-optional areas for their guests, so check directly with the property.
Public beaches
Eagle Beach, Palm Beach and the island’s other public beaches are family beaches. Nudity is not allowed there. Aruba’s tourism board says the same in its own guide to nude beaches in Aruba.
Topless sunbathing
Rules and customs around topless sunbathing are not the same everywhere. A few resorts quietly allow it in private areas for guests. If you want to be sure, ask your hotel before you go rather than assuming.
If privacy is what you want
Many visitors asking this really want a quiet, private beach day. A reserved umbrella and two chairs gives you your own spot and your own shade. On Eagle Beach, the wide sand leaves room between sets. Palapa Aruba sets yours up in advance, so you walk onto the beach and sit down. See Eagle Beach umbrella rental.
Before you go
- Keep swimwear on at public beaches
- Ask your hotel about any private or clothing-optional area
- Reserve shade ahead so you are not hunting for a spot at 5 AM
Palapa Aruba keeps it simple: your umbrella and two chairs are already set up on the beach at Eagle Beach or Palm Beach, $100 a day plus 20% tax and fees, 10 AM to 4 PM. Check availability and book.
