Cool Couples Classes For Your Honeymoon in Aruba

View Map

Taking a class is probably the last thing you ever thought you’d do on your honeymoon in Aruba. But it’s an unusual way to keep things romantic, especially if you overdose on beautiful sunsets, moonlit beach walks and passionate bungalow sex. Your new wife will love doing a project together, and you may pick up some skills that will help you in married life, such as listening carefully and following directions. Besides, we’re not talking calculus class here: we’re talking things like…

  • Cooking class with Taste of Aruba

    Aruba has a vibrant dining scene. Thanks to the island mix of some 90 ethnicities, you can expect all sorts of culinary influence, including exceptional, traditional Aruban cuisine. Couples who feel like dipping their toes into these waters can get messy in the kitchen at Aruba Marriott Resort with the Taste of Aruba cooking class. The executive chef will show you hands-on on how to prepare three authentic Aruban dishes, including Keshi Yena, the island’s signature dish (made by stuffing meat and veggies into a hollowed-out Gouda cheese rind). The class is not advertised, so you’ll have to contact the front desk to sign up. $75 per person.

  • Kite surfing with Pro Kite School Aruba

    Kite surfing is not only one of Aruba’s most popular activities, it’s a national pastime, thanks to the shallow, flat waters and strong trade winds. Locals and visitors have been riding the surface of the sea for decades, getting a workout and having a blast. One of the top-rated kite surfing schools is Pro Kite School Aruba. They set you up, get you on the water and make sure you catch wind and surf on your own. It takes a few falls to get your balance right, and gliding without any help happens sooner than you would think. One lesson is $120, and well worth it.
