About
A dry, sunny island outside the hurricane belt with calm turquoise water. There is a historic Jewish community and Chabad of Aruba, with kosher food near the Palm Beach and Eagle Beach hotels.
Good to know: only 3 shuls and 2 kosher places are on our map here so far, and the real number is likely higher. Before you book, check with the local Chabad (search Chabad Aruba) and look up kosher on Google Maps.
Shabbos food: Chabad Jewish Center of Aruba. What each one offers, how to order and the hechsher to ask about are in Travel Info ›
Best time to goAll year; the island is sunny and breezy most days.
Local time
Before you goPlaces come from OpenStreetMap and can change. Call ahead for minyan and Shabbos meals, and check the hechsher yourself.

Walking times are estimates: straight-line distance × 1.3 at about 80 m a minute. Driving times are road routes without traffic (OpenStreetMap routing); where a route is missing we show “≈”, straight line × 1.4 at city speed. No prices or ratings here; each hotel links to Google Maps reviews and a Booking.com search.
Minyan
Shuls & Chabad
Chabad houses first. Call ahead for minyan times.
4 shuls, Chabad houses and kosher places in this city were added or completed by hand from Chabad, kashrut-agency and community websites (checked November 2026). Each one links to its source.
Not every shul is on the map yet: search synagogues on Google Maps. Denomination is shown only where it is mapped. Something wrong? Report a correction.
