Aruba Bay Resort

A beachside condo resort on North Padre Island, just steps from Whitecap Beach on the Texas Gulf Coast. Pools, palm-lined courtyards, and direct Gulf access make it one of the most-loved stays in the 78418.

About the resort

Aruba Bay Resort is a low-rise condominium resort on North Padre Island, surrounded by other Whitecap-area resorts and minutes from the Padre Island National Seashore. Owners and guests share resort amenities while individual units are privately owned and rented — meaning every stay is a little different.

The community sits a short walk from the public Gulf beach access at Whitecap, with restaurants, surf shops, golf-cart rentals, and the seawall all within a few blocks.
