The only resort in Aruba with a private island — Renaissance guests access flamingo-populated Renaissance Island by boat from Oranjestad marina. Best positioned for guests who want Oranjestad's Dutch-Caribbean architecture, shopping, and city energy alongside a truly extraordinary beach draw. Not the typical Palm Beach resort experience.
Why We Chose It
Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort is the most distinctive hotel on the island — split into the adults-only Marina Hotel and family-friendly Ocean Suites, both sharing access to the private Renaissance Island (a 40-acre private beach where pink flamingos roam freely). The resort is in downtown Oranjestad, connected to the Renaissance Mall for shopping, with a marina, casino, and multiple restaurants. Flamingo Island access is the primary selling point: exclusive to guests, no day-pass availability when at capacity. The beach is man-made but the flamingo experience is truly extraordinary.
What Stands Out
- Private flamingo island — exclusive to guests
- Adults-only Marina Hotel + family-friendly Ocean Suites
- Located in downtown Oranjestad
- Access to a 40-acre private island
- Marina and on-site casino
- The most unique hotel experience in Aruba
