Set in the azure waters of the Caribbean, Aruba is the classic tropical island paradise. Walk along white sandy beaches, take a ride on a catamaran or be pampered in one of the island’s many spas.

Children will love Aruba’s newest and wettest attraction, Morgan’s Island Water Park – the largest in the Caribbean, with a thrilling range of rides, including a dual slide, entitled the Dragon Revenge.

Families can refuel at the Black Pearl, a self-service restaurant, the Jack Sparrow Bar or Treasure Chest coffee shop. Entrance to the water park costs $57 (around £38) for adults and $47 (around £31) for children aged 2–12 years.
