Aruba in May
Weather, crowds, and prices, and whether May is your month.
A quiet, sunny value month: same island, smaller bills. Expect highs around 88°F, very little rain, moderate, and good value.
The bigger picture for Aruba
- Best overall: Any month: Aruba sits outside the hurricane belt with near-constant weather.
- Best value: September-November, when rates drop 30-40% with essentially no weather risk.
- Watch out for: None serious: January-March carries the highest prices, not the worst weather.
