In celebration of 35 years as a beloved island landmark, Hyatt Regency Aruba Resort, Spa & Casino reveals an exciting new chapter, elevating its legacy of relaxation and authentic island hospitality. The transformation introduces a revitalized grand lobby and courtyard lounge, a reimagined signature dining experience at Ruinas del Mar, the debut of the brand-new steakhouse, Piccolo, an enhanced Governor’s Suite, and new Sunset Studios in honor of its milestone year. Blending contemporary elegance with coastal textures and locally influenced artistry, the refreshed spaces ensure a timeless and sophisticated retreat in paradise for the next generation of travelers.
Key renovations include:
Governor’s Suite: The newly transformed Governor’s Suite is a 2,745-square-foot oceanfront sanctuary, perched on the 9th floor and designed to feel like a private residence. Floor-to-ceiling windows frame endless, uninterrupted ocean views, while a serene palette of soft whites and neutrals is accented by lush greenery and sophisticated botanical artwork. The expansive living room flows seamlessly into a well-appointed kitchenette, with a guest half-bathroom adding residential-style convenience. Three private balconies set this suite apart, each offering a unique way to take in the surroundings. The main balcony spans the full width of the living area, where plush seating is perfectly positioned to make the horizon feel within reach. A second balcony off the kitchen features a dining table for open-air meals, while the third offers a lounger and a more intimate dining setup. The spa-inspired primary bathroom, featuring a sculptural free-standing bathtub, completes the experience, transforming everyday rituals into moments of quiet indulgence.
Deluxe Sunset Studios: In celebration of its 35th anniversary, the resort unveils its newest offering, Deluxe Sunset Studios, elevated spaces designed for effortless relaxation. Each studio features a calming neutral palette, plush textures, and expansive balcony doors that invite in abundant natural light and frame sweeping ocean views. Rates start at $770 for a King Partial Oceanfront Deluxe Studio and $980 for a King Oceanfront Sunset Studio Deluxe.
Reimagined Arrival Experience: The newly redesigned lobby sets the tone for an unforgettable guest experience. Drawing inspiration from Aruba’s breathtaking landscapes, the space offers a fresh, luxurious atmosphere, blending natural stone and wood elements with tropical hues like coral haze and soft, sun-kissed neutrals. The open-air layout seamlessly integrates the indoors with the outdoors and offers sweeping views of the resort’s iconic gardens and ocean. Comfortable seating areas, surrounded by lush greenery, create intimate spots for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or quiet moments. Soaring ceilings with exposed wooden beams add to the airy elegance, while a handcrafted statement chandelier, artisanal terracotta wall framing the reception area, and thoughtfully layered lighting evoke a sense of warmth and refined welcome.
Redefined Dining: Among the most notable enhancements following the renovation is the debut of Piccolo, a contemporary steakhouse showcasing inspired design and culinary techniques with its open-concept kitchen. Jewel-toned greens and soft white fabrics create a stylish yet welcoming setting for both intimate dinners and celebratory gatherings. The menu highlights boldly flavored, expertly prepared dishes such as the 24 oz. Cowboy Ribeye, a Prime Beef Steak Burger with caramelized onions on a brioche bun, and a standout Chopped Salad layered with tahini dressing and focaccia croutons. An international wine selection curated to complement each course and a thoughtful cocktail menu round out the experience. Piccolo is Kosher certified under the strict supervision of Chabad of Aruba. Ruinas del Mar offers a refined take on Caribbean and Mediterranean flavors in a setting that nods to Aruba’s storied past. Surrounded by a serene lagoon with koi fish and a black swan, the restaurant’s menu features standout dishes like Cold Grilled Octopus with shiso mix and mustard vinaigrette, and a rich, gluten-free Lobster Bisque with pesto. The newly designed courtyard it shares with Piccolo features lush landscaping, cascading water features, and a handcrafted pergola transforming the open-air space into a serene, transportive escape. The updated Alfresco terrace boasts plush seating and scalloped umbrellas, framed by vibrant fuchsia bougainvillea – an ideal setting for enjoying a handcrafted cocktail and soaking in the stunning Aruban sunset.
