Discover Aruba — Fisherman's Huts (Hadicurari)
Welcome to the "One Happy Island": on Aruba the trade wind blows almost without a break, warm and steady from morning to evening. Fisherman's Huts is the island's learning beach — shallow turquoise water right next to the Palm Beach hotels.
Aruba is a dry, sunny island bristling with cactus and divi-divi trees leaned over by a warm trade wind that barely ever stops. Here the wind is part of the scenery, not something you wait for. Fisherman's Huts is a busy resort beach set at the foot of the Palm Beach high-rises: turquoise water, sails and kites filling the sky every afternoon, people everywhere. You come for the ease — drop your gear, pump your kite, and the wind is there, like clockwork. Convenient, reliable, holiday-easy: Aruba delivers kiting without drama and without the wait.
Level and best time
An ideal spot to learn and progress on freeride: the water is shallow and fairly flat near the shore, and the side-onshore trade wind is strong and steady — Aruba is one of the windiest islands in the Caribbean, with wind almost every day. Further out, intermediates find chop and a few small waves to play with.

Fisherman's Huts (Hadicurari) sits on the northwest coast, just north of Palm Beach. It's about a 15-20 minute drive from Aruba airport (AUA), with parking right at the beach.

Watch out for the crowded water near Palm Beach: swimmers, windsurfers, beginners and boats all mix and it gets chaotic fast at peak times. The strong, steady trade wind can overpower you, and the bottom hides reef, seaweed and shallow patches. Stay inside the marked kite zone, keep your distance, and size your kite to the real wind.
