About this property

Steps away from the ocean and Aruba's best snorkeling beach!

Arashi Sunsets Villa rental is situated in the prestigious residential neighborhood of Malmok, a short three-minute walk to Arashi Beach.
We recently painted the house inside and outside with new refreshing colors, new bedding and mattresses, new family room furniture, new cookware, resurfaced pool, solar panels to be more environmentally friendly.

This beautiful 2 story, air-conditioned, 3500 sq. ft. villa features 5 bedrooms, each with en-suite baths, a large family and living room, stainless kitchen appliances, laundry room and outdoor covered patio with a stainless steel 4 burner barbecue. The beautiful in-ground pool and patio area is perfect for entertaining with family and friends, as well as outdoor dining and grilling.

The house sleeps 10 adults comfortably in its three lower and two upper suites. The villa is located a short 5-minute drive to the Tierra Del Sol Resort & Country Golf Club for a round of golf and lunch or dinner. The golf course is a world-class, 18 hole course which hosts pro tour events during the year.

Living Room, Dining Room & Kitchen:

The front entrance leads into a large living and dining room with high vaulted ceilings and an open atmosphere. French doors open onto the covered porch, patio and pool. The spacious, modern kitchen is complete with electric range and oven, microwave, granite counters and island breakfast bar. The entire first floor is beautifully tiled and serves as an excellent gathering place for family and friends. A separate laundry room with washer and drier is available as an additional convenience.

Master Suite & Balcony:

The luxurious roomy second floor master suite has a king bed, en-suite bath, and vaulted ceilings. Its sliding glass doors open to a large covered balcony which overlooks the ocean in one direction and the pool/yard in the other.

A second upstairs bedroom with en-suite bath and queen bed is separated by a wet bar.

First Floor Bedrooms & Baths:

Off the hallway behind the kitchen are three bedrooms with en-suite baths, so each guest has total privacy. The first floor master bedroom has a king-sized bed and is located at the end of the hallway. The middle bedroom has a queen bed and the fifth bedroom has a queen bed. Each bedroom includes an en-suite private tiled bathroom.

The Malmok & Arashi Beach Area:

Our home is located a short 200 steps around the corner to Boca Catalina Beach; a small, secluded beach excellent for sunbathing and considered the best snorkeling area in Aruba. Malmok is the "Gold Coast" area of Aruba and consists of private year-round residential homes and villas. Walking eight houses the other direction, toward the California Lighthouse, brings you to Arashi Beach with small huts for sunbathing, a large white sandy beach and calm waters for swimming

Fantastic Rental!

As 8 adults, we could not have chosen a better house, location, and host.  Anneke was prompt and courteous in all her responses throughout the booking process and our stay.  The bedrooms are spacious, and the living/common area gives everyone enough room to move around freely without feeling closed in.  Large pool and outdoor gathering area, we utilized this space quite often and enjoyed every minute.  The house is perfectly situated for walking to some of the best snorkeling spots in Aruba.  We visit Aruba often, and this is one of the best experiences we have had from booking to completing our stay.

Paradise

Absolutely perfect week! The house was exactly what our group of 7 needed to make the most of our Aruba vacation. Short walk to Arashi and steps away from a wonderful place to snorkel. Our family enjoyed hanging out by the pool and playing games at the large table with room for everyone to gather. Very close to everything!

Fantastic Place to stay

We had a perfect experience in Aruba staying at this beautiful house. From booking to arrival, all throughout our stay and our final goodbyes, everything was perfect. Anneke and her daughter Marrit made us feel so welcome and even gave us excellent suggestions for snorkeling and places to eat. A delight from beginning to end. Will definitely recommend.
