Blue Mondays: Poster Perfect Aruba.
July 26, 2010 The Monday Blues
You’ve probably seen Aruba’s famous Divi Divi tree on a poster somewhere. A natural compass, the beautiful, gnarly tree always grows at a 45 degree angle in a southwesterly direction due to the tradewinds that blow across the island from the north-east. There’s no touching up here; the sand really is that white and the sea really is that blue.
Aruba is a unique Caribbean island offering pristine beaches, a relaxed ambience and a friendly welcome. Hot all year round, its not far from the coast of Venezuala and boasts a relatively dry climate. The island was colonised by the Dutch, who left behind colourful architecture that wouldn’t look out of place in Amsterdam. New weekly charter flights to Aruba from Manchester and London Gatwick mean it is fast becoming one of the UK’s favourite Caribbean hotspots.
Put yourself in the poster! Departing Gatwick on 9th October, 7 nights all-inclusive at the 3* Holiday Inn Sunspree on Palm Beach is £949 per person, based on 2 sharing, booked through Hays Travel. Call 0800 408 4131 for other dates and Manchester departures.
Dreamy blue sea and the Divi Divi tree await in Aruba
