Workation in Oranjestad: the essentials
Cruise ships dock right beside the centre of Oranjestad, Aruba's capital on the island's southwestern coast. About 28,700 people lived here at the 2020 census, and the Dutch colonial past shows in pastel-painted gabled shopfronts and in Fort Zoutman, the oldest building on the island. Its Papiamento name, Playa, simply means beach. Government offices and tourism provide most of the jobs, Dutch and Papiamento are the official languages, and ship days can fill the shopping streets. Queen Beatrix International Airport is about 4 km from town, and buses run up the coast to the hotel zone at Palm Beach.
