Discover 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.
Who & when
Level and best time
Who it's for
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.

The trade wind blows nearly year-round on Aruba, with over 80% wind probability from December to August. The peak runs roughly May to August — strongest and most reliable (20-30 knots). Autumn (September-November) is lighter and less consistent.

The beach is packed with kite and windsurf schools offering gear rental and beginner lessons. And the Palm Beach hotels, restaurants and bars are right next door: food, drinks and a place to rinse off are all just steps from the water.

This is the island's learning hub — perfect for an easy Caribbean kite holiday: reliable wind, warm water, simple logistics. For waves and advanced riding, head to windward Boca Grandi — deep water, chop and current, for experienced riders only.

Safety
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.
