Hi! We're Patrick & Tara, the owners of Canaruba. We purchased this home in 2017 and are really happy to be able to share our amazing experience with you and help you have an incredible and relaxing vacation in Aruba.

There were  a couple of reasons why we purchased this home and named it Canaruba ("naming" a home is apparently a tradition on the island):

1) We love the island. Most sun of any of the Caribbean islands, clean drinking water out of every tap, amazing restaurants, great nightlife, beautiful white sand, warm bright blue ocean. The island has a great breeze throughout the day which keeps the 30 degree temperature "comfortable."

2) We love the home - which we've called "Canaruba" (it is a tradition to name homes in Aruba). Our home was built in 2007 and lived in by the original builders until we purchased it. They took great care and great pride in their home, and it shows. We've done a lot of updates since then - including a full painting inside and out. 

What's with the name "Canaruba"?

Canada + Aruba = Canaruba

We wanted to bring a bit of Canada to Aruba. Not the snow or the cold, and we'll probably never get a game of hockey going - but the best parts of Canada: our love of diversity, openness, friendliness, and sense of adventure.

If you look closely the logo you'll see the Canadian maple leaf and the Aruba star.
