New St. Regis Aruba Resort Raises Luxury Bar

St. Regis Aruba Resort Unveiled

St. Regis Hotels & Resorts has announced the opening of The St. Regis Aruba Resort, a seafront oasis designed by Hirsch Bender Associates. As part of Marriott International’s distinguished luxury portfolio, the resort epitomizes the brand’s rich heritage and signature rituals, offering an exclusive escape on Aruba’s most coveted coastline. This resort elevates the island’s hospitality scene with its refined elegance, featuring the first-ever St. Regis casino and a rooftop dining destination helmed by acclaimed Chef Akira Back.

Blending local Dutch-Caribbean culture with the storied legacy of the St. Regis brand. Taking inspiration from the island’s powdery white beaches, cultural richness, and Casibari Rock Formations, guests are invited to experience the colonial architecture and colorful areas inspired by the island’s streets, guiding visitors to the best address on-island. The newly built resort presents 252 exquisite guest rooms, including 52 suites personalized to guest’s needs.

“Aruba is one of the most remarkable islands in the Caribbean, and we are proud to unveil The St. Regis Aruba Resort on the pristine shores of Palm Beach, further expanding our global portfolio of legendary hotels and resorts,” said George Fleck, Senior Vice President and Global Brand Leader for St. Regis Hotels & Resorts.

“As we continue to celebrate 120 years of timeless elegance, we remain deeply focused on growing our resort portfolio and solidifying St. Regis as the ultimate symbol of luxury leisure destinations and one-of-a-kind experiences.”

The resort offers guests six distinctive culinary experiences, celebrating the flavours of Aruba’s multicultural heritage. Showcasing the island’s vibrant culinary fusion, these venues introduce innovative signature dishes to the gastronomic scene. At the heart of the dining offerings is the rooftop restaurant, Akira Back, by Michelin-starred Chef Akira Back, where guests can savor his acclaimed Japanese and Korean-inspired creations while enjoying breathtaking views—a harmonious blend of exceptional flavors and stunning vistas. The St. Regis Aruba Resort’s additional dining experiences include Eskama, an immersive Caribbean restaurant, and Nuba, an Aruban-inspired pool and beachside restaurant. In addition to the property’s restaurants, The St. Regis Aruba Resort will feature two bars, The St. Regis Bar and Ventura, and a coffee shop, Grano Café.

As tradition for all St. Regis properties, The St. Regis Aruba Resort will feature its own iteration of the Bloody Mary, fittingly titled the Bon Bini Mary, which guests can enjoy at The St. Regis Bar. “Bon Bini” means “welcome” in Papiamento — the local language of Aruba. The Bon Bini Mary, inspired by the island’s warm hospitality, is a unique creation that blends local papaya, lime, and habanero chili with aromatic spices, creating a uniquely Aruban cocktail.

The resort offers an array of amenities designed for relaxation and indulgence. Guests can unwind at two pools with private cabanas, stay active in the fitness center, or rejuvenate at The St. Regis Spa. Nestled against the serene backdrop of Aruba’s pristine beaches and azure waters, the spa features curated treatments inspired by the island’s natural beauty. Younger guests are welcomed at The Children’s Club, where cultural and educational experiences bring Aruba’s rich heritage to life.

“Aruba has long been a haven for travelers seeking exceptional escapes, and St. Regis’ legendary vanguard spirit and traditions are a perfect fit for this extraordinary destination,” said Brian King, President of Caribbean & Latin America (CALA) for Marriott International.

Offering backgrounds, The St. Regis Aruba Resort’s meetings and events spaces combine elegance with service. The property’s 20,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor function space are ideal for any occasion, specifically the resort’s Terrace Suites and Astor Ballroom. Visitors can enjoy tailored experiences designed to meet their group’s unique needs, enhanced by culinary offerings, dedicated event planners, and the St. Regis Butler Service, ensuring every detail is flawlessly executed.

With the opening of The St. Regis Aruba Resort, the brand introduces its luxury and signature service to the stunning shores of Palm Beach.

“Guests can immerse themselves in the island’s vibrant culture, indulge in exquisite cuisine, and experience the legendary St. Regis service. We are confident that The St. Regis Aruba will become a true icon of luxury hospitality in the Caribbean.”
