Situated at the heart of Aruba, in Mango Halto Park, voted best beach and snorkeling spot on the island, this place is by far the best way to explore the island or to just chill around, with a few art and yoga classes available right at home.
The Core, host of the Windsong Fest, is a peaceful and creative hub, where you can experience the elements, the culture, the local food, the genuine care offered by our team, all with the soothing sounds of ocean waves at night.
The space
This is a fully equipped 2 bedrooms apartment with a kitchen, one bathroom, a living room, two large queen beds.
We have also a crib for babies up to 3 years old.
The covered outside living room by the pool is awesome for lounging, naps, cocktail hour, or just for creating.
This is the only unit facing the pool, the other one facing the yard is facing the little stage.
On certain occasions, there are pizza nights or events with a private chef, à art expo from one of our local or international artist in residency, or a yoga or dance class happening, but the place remains very private for our guests.
It is like a cool hotel boutique, but with a local twist and a local price. It’s your comfy shack by the beach. The minute you arrive until the minute you leave, you can be yourself, and you can live barefoot, including for your snorkeling trip or when you’re getting take out food from our neighbors local business.
Once you are booked, you get tons of informations on must-sees and must-dos and must-eats to make your trip worth it.
If you’re looking for a all-included resort with pina coladas served, we recommend Palm Beach for that.
If you want to relax, be close to nature and reconnect with who you are, there’s a great chance you will adore this place of the island and come back every year!
