Your holiday apartment is located in a residential ocean side town called Pos Chikito, which is part of the Savaneta area on Aruba. You won’t find any high rise hotels or buildings here.
Central location
If you’re looking at a map of Aruba we’re just about halfway in the middle of the island, just off the main road. This makes it a great location to take trips to both the touristic western side of the island and explore local life in the eastern side of Aruba.
But there is plenty to be found closer to home as well.
Immediate area
A short walk down the road from your apartment you’ll find a convenient mini mart that sells drinks, snacks, groceries and personal care items.
A fifteen minute walk in the other direction will take you to a larger supermarkets in the area.
Keep going past there for another five minutes and you’ll find yourself at the pharmacy. Spread throughout the area are many smaller shops, take aways, food carts and watering holes.
Seafood restaurant Marina Pirata is only a ten minute walk, seated right on the ocean shore. A great place for sunset dining.
Grab a car to go slightly further and you’ll find the drive-in movie theater after a short 5 minute drive.
Exploring the rest of the island
From Pos Chikito you can be at the California lighthouse on the northern tip of Aruba in about 30 minutes by car.
Baby Beach at the most southern end of the island will take about 25 minutes by car.
And getting to one of the entrances to Arikok National Park is only a 10 minute drive.
We have been living on Aruba in Pos Chikito for decades. If you’re looking for anything specific, we’re bound to know where you can find it.
