Your Guide to the Best Luxury Hotels in Noord

Noord is the district in Aruba’s northwest where Palm Beach stretches along the shore: pale sand on the sheltered west coast, calm turquoise water and, behind it, a row of tall hotels with beach bars and restaurants. In the evening the sun drops straight into the sea in front of you, and the trade wind cools the terraces. If you want a 5-star hotel in Noord, you stay right on the beach; Eagle Beach lies a little further south.Hyatt Regency Aruba ResortHyatt Regency Aruba Resort · Palm BeachFamilies do well at Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort, with its three-tier activity pool, two-story waterslide and its own kids’ club. Couples looking for calm by the pool stay at Aruba Marriott Resort with its adults-only area. If a spa on the beach and a club lounge appeal to you, book The Ritz-Carlton Aruba. And if you want a brand-new resort with butler service, choose The St. Regis Aruba Resort.

The luxury hotels in Noord are large beach resorts with several pools, restaurants and a casino of their own. Which of the best hotels in Noord fits your vacation is something we are happy to discuss with you in person.

New openings

Newly built, newly designed: what awaits you in the luxury hotels in Noord

The St. Regis Aruba Resort has been open since spring 2025, newly built on the sand of Palm Beach. Design firm HBA blends Dutch-Caribbean culture with the brand’s rituals: every day a champagne bottle is opened with a saber, tea is served in the afternoon, and a butler takes care of your wishes. 52 of the 252 rooms are suites.

The St. Regis Aruba ResortThe St. Regis Aruba Resort · Palm Beach

At Aruba Marriott Resort, all 414 rooms and suites were redesigned in 2025 in shades of sand, taupe, coral and sea glass, with marble desks and new bathrooms, some with a deep soaking tub. Every room comes with a private balcony.
