Venue: Alto Vista Chapel (Alto Vista, Noord).

There’s something almost sacred about watching the sunrise from Alto Vista. Perched on the north shore, the tiny white chapel with its red roof and simple façade is one of Aruba’s oldest and most peaceful landmarks. Arrive before the crowds (early morning is best) and enjoy the soft light over the sea, the hush of the island waking up, and the panoramic views that stretch toward the north coast. Bring a light jacket for the breeze, a camera for the views, and time to sit quietly or stroll the immediate area. For guests at Aruba Casita, this is a perfect 10 –15 minute morning drive and a graceful way to begin a day of beaching, snorkeling, or just relaxing.
