How do you get to Iguana Beach Aruba?

Guests of the Renaissance Aruba Resort & Casino have free access by boat taxi to the island that is open between 7 AM and 7 PM on a daily basis.



Iguana Beach is located on Renaissance Island, a private high-fidelity sanctuary owned by the Renaissance Wind Creek Aruba Resort. Because it is a private island, you cannot simply drive or walk there. The only way to access it is via a high-fidelity 8-minute water taxi ride that departs from the lobby of the Renaissance Marina Hotel or the pier at the Renaissance Ocean Suites in Oranjestad. Access is complimentary and unlimited for guests staying at either of these two high-fidelity resorts. If you are not a hotel guest, you must purchase a "High-Fidelity" Day Pass (Island Pass), which is only available if the hotel occupancy is low; these passes cost approximately $125–$150 and include lunch and a drink. Once you arrive at the island, Iguana Beach is the section dedicated to families, while the famous Flamingo Beach is adults-only. The water taxi runs every 15 minutes from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, providing a seamless, high-fidelity tropical commute to one of Aruba’s most exclusive beach destinations.
