Aruba is known for being the “happy island” for seafood lovers since fresh-caught fish is abundant. Fishermen haul in wahoo, snapper, shrimp, lobster, oysters, mahi-mahi, grouper, conch, and more. The delicious seafood comes grilled, fried, and served in soups and stews.
Drinking WaterThere is no need to buy bottled water in Aruba. Aruba's tap water is pure and refreshing, meeting the highest standards of quality of the World Health Organization. Since Aruba does not have any significant natural sources of fresh water, the water is distilled in a saltwater desalination plant.
Almost all of the food must be shipped in to Aruba so you're paying for transportation costs for the food to get to the island. Aruba is a desert island (looks similar to Arizona) so very little can be grown on the island (same with livestock.)
Shipping costs, along with import duties and residual costs such as labor, result in prices somewhat higher than what you might find back home. So next time you're in Aruba and the cost of food strikes you, remember that the higher prices are a fundamental part of helping you have a worry-free and enjoyable holiday.
