- Aruba is one of the best islands in the Caribbean, if you’re planning a move to this region. Luckily, at the moment the price of land in Aruba is cheaper compared to other islands.
- A family of four or more travelers spends thousands of dollars on a 7 days trip to Aruba. If you visit the island every year, this cost can be high. Owning a vacation home in Aruba will save you money in the long run.
- Outside of your stay in Aruba, you can rent out your vacation home to other visitors.
According to AirBnb, home owners in Aruba that decided to rent out their house using their services, made an average of $9.200 in 2018.
A house in this location could easily rent out between $150.00 – $200.00 a night.
AirBnb measured the average occupancy of Aruba vacation homes at 52%. At this rate, you can easily expect to make at least $30.000 or more a year renting the house to other visitors, when you’re not on the island.

Type of Ways To Buy a House or Land in Aruba
You only have two options when it comes to buying or building a house.
The first is when you buy a house, or build a home on freehold property land. This means you own the land, and will have a deed to show for it.
If you’re not the outright owner of the land, you’re going to have to lease the land that belongs to the government.
It’s normally a long term lease and paid every year, depending on the location of the land. The price is higher near the hotel area.
The annual lease fee usually increases after the lease is renewed after 60 years.
