Aruba for Golfers – Adults-Only Luxury at Bucuti & Tara

Aruba, the smallest of the three ABC Islands, treats you to 27 degrees year-round, white sand beaches and a landscape that goes well beyond Caribbean cliché: palm trees and divi-divi trees meet desert vibes, cacti and striking rock formations. Then there’s that particular island spirit that makes Aruba so distinctive – true to its motto, ‘One happy island’.

Bonbini – scroll on and discover why Aruba is a genuine ‘one happy fairway’ for golfers too.

Time for your own paradise

The Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is an intimate adults-only retreat right on the legendary Eagle Beach – one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean.

Barefoot luxury here means ease rather than excess. Personal service, respected privacy and an atmosphere where time slows down. Everything is chosen deliberately, to leave room for genuine moments – with the sea only a few steps away.

An Austrian in Aruba

Over five decades ago, Austrian-born Ewald Biemans found his way to Aruba. That connection gave rise to the Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort in 1987 – to this day shaped by his passion and his deeply personal approach to hospitality. The resort is now run by his granddaughter, Crescenzia Biemans, who carries the house’s philosophy forward into the next generation with a fresh, forward-looking touch.

Right next to the resort lies the Bucuti Tara GMC Park – a protected, unspoiled stretch of Aruba, free of motorised noise. Wara Waras, Shocos and Prikichis all find a natural habitat here. Anyone wanting to get to know these charming island residents is best off meeting them where they live: quietly, one step at a time.

Fine Dining & Beach Vibes

At the Elements Restaurant, fine dining meets the unique backdrop of Eagle Beach. Right on the water, guests enjoy a modern, finely tuned kitchen paired with a relaxed atmosphere. The SandBar rounds off the evening with the perfect sundowner. Private Dining is even more exclusive: a six-course menu in your own pavilion, sea view and sunset included.

The kitchen follows the rhythm of the seasons, puts the produce centre stage and wins you over with precise flavours rather than grand gestures. The concept is helmed by top chef Jeremy Ford, whose signature stands for clarity, quality and consistently sustainable thinking.

World-Class, Confirmed by Awards

The first and only certified carbon-neutral resort in the Caribbean

The Bucuti & Tara Beach Resort is among the most awarded eco-resorts in the world. Under the leadership of its Austrian owner, Ewald Biemans, the house has set standards in service quality, hospitality and lived sustainability for decades – long before ‘eco-tourism’ became a trend.

The resort was honoured early on with prestigious awards such as the Caribbean Hotel Association’s Environmental Stewardship Award. Today it holds the title ‘Most Sustainable Hotel in the World’ with Green Globe Platinum status – the only hotel with the maximum rating of 100 percent. Backed by LEED Gold certification, the Bucuti & Tara shows how innovative technology and thoughtful measures can bring together comfort and environmental awareness at the highest level.

Stroll Through

San Nicolas

San Nicolas is Aruba’s creative cultural town – colourful, lively and authentic. Street art, music and local life show the ‘One happy island’ spirit at its most contemporary.

Rum and Gin

For something stronger, it’s worth a detour to the Pepe Margo Distillery, Aruba’s only craft distillery. During the ‘Barrel Experience’ you sample rum and gin, with the house’s history poured in along the way.

Snorkelling at Boca Catalina Beach

Aruba is ideal for snorkelling: calm water, clear visibility. At Boca Catalina, with a bit of luck, you’ll spot green sea turtles – one of the island’s most reliable spots.

Hiking and Biking

Whether on guided mountain-bike tours or on foot – Aruba is guaranteed to work up a sweat. And if you’d rather pedal than walk, the Eco-Bike tours let you explore Aruba’s nature in an eco-friendly way.

On and In the Water

Crystal-clear water, vividly coloured reefs and that certain Caribbean sparkle: snorkelling is simply part of Aruba. So: fins on, mind off.
