#### Light a candle at this small chapel, which has a remote hillside setting that affords lovely views of the surrounding area.

Alto Vista Chapel is the spiritual center of the island and an important place of worship for Aruban Catholics. Despite its remote location in the arid, scrubby northeast, visitors are still drawn to the rustic chapel for its serene ambiance and beautiful views. Bring along matches to light a candle and say a prayer inside the diminutive building, then admire the views of the coastline.

The first chapel built on this site was erected in 1750 and it was the first Roman Catholic Church to be built on the island. Nothing remains of this original structure though, and the chapel you see there today is a reconstruction dating from the 1950s.

En route to the chapel, watch for the white crosses lining the road. These represent the Stations of the Cross. Spend a few moment’s checking out the church’s façade. The bright yellow exterior, modest design and humble size contrasts both with the island’s glitzy resorts and with the more exuberant churches found in other Caribbean islands, such as St. John’s in Antigua.

Feel free to venture inside the tiny nave, which features a black-and-white checkered floor and wooden pews. Due to its compact size, the church can only accommodate a small number of people at a time, so you may have to wait to enter. Remember this is an active place of worship, so you should dress modestly and try not to disturb any worshippers inside. Visitors can also attend services, which take place on Tuesday evenings, though the mass will be performed in the local language of Papiamento, not English.

Look for windswept divi-divi trees nearby. Frequently touted as Aruba’s “natural compass,” these unusual twisted trees always point southwest due to the near-constant trade winds. They can be found throughout the island of Aruba.

The Alto Vista Chapel is located in the northeast of Aruba on a remote dusty roadway. Visit independently by car or arrange to see it as part of a guided tour to learn more about the history and significance of the site. Entrance is free.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,361 reviews)

Beautiful property! Staff were very kind. Beach is across the street but a short walk if you’re up for it - pool itself is beautiful (and huge). Keep in mind that signature all inclusive only includes a few select restaurants. Windows on Aruba and Bar Tapas are only available for dinner, so you’re pretty much eating pool side (quesadilla and jerk chicken wrap were my favorites there), or at Mulligans! The Sea Breeze buffets are not great… for breakfast it’s fine, but Mulligans is better (SO many options for each meal). Windows on Aruba was excellent all around, but Bar Tapas was disappointing… Not great food quality, but was included in our all inclusive so couldn’t complain too much! Would’ve been upset if we were paying for it out of pocket. We ended up venturing out for dinner our last two evenings and loved it - very easy to get a cab from the lobby. Had we rented a car, there was plenty of room for parking. If you’re not up for walking, they have a very accessible shuttle to bring you around / to each Divi resort. Overall, would recommend this property - especially to golfers (which we are not). But will likely be staying elsewhere in the future just because of our own preferences (wanting to explore the island vs staying at an all inclusive).
