Feel the day-to-day stress slip away as you breathe in time with the roll of the ocean waves. Float, without a care in the world, in Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts' infinity pool. Or pamper yourself at our day spa, the Intermezzo Spa. Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts is where people come to relax, recharge their batteries and return home, happier and healthier.

Eagle Beach
 Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts feature an intimate beach, far away from the high-rise hotels. With the highest palapa-to-guest ratio, you can always get a place in the shade. Slow down, and let the warm winds wash over you. Maybe do a little yoga in the mornings. Arubans and guests alike agree – our Eagle Beach, with its powdery white sand, is the prettiest beach in all of Aruba.
The Infinity Pool & Lounge Deck
Recently renovated, Bucuti's updated outdoor areas flow beautifully with the stylish infinity pool. The resort's expanded lounge deck area provides guests with a tranquil spot to have a drink to the sounds of the lapping waves of the ocean. Designer lounge-like beds, sleek sectionals and seats big enough for two conceived by Italian brand-name designers Kettal and Dedon make inviting spots to listen to the music of Bucuti's steel pan player.

Bucuti Beach Aruba Weddings
Wedding Packages
 Congratulations on your engagement and thank you for considering Aruba and the Bucuti & Tara Beach Resorts as your wedding destination. We have a team of seasoned wedding and hospitality professionals dedicated to providing you with your dream wedding.We understand how important this "once in a lifetime" event is for you and it is equally as important for our wedding team. You will find a menu of links to the left of this page which will lead you to information and options on cakes, flowers, table settings, ceremony locations, entertainment options, photographer and information about Bucuti's Wedding planning services.
Bucuti's Wedding Packages provide a guideline for you to begin the planning process, however, all weddings at Bucuti are designed exclusively for you as individuals. We will work with you to put together the components that you want and create a custom package for you.
Civil Ceremonies are the legal wedding ceremonies. The legal ceremony in Aruba always takes place in the Civil House in downtown Oranjestad. Many couples conduct their legal ceremony in the morning or early afternoon and have their beach ceremony at sunset. Some couples take care of the legal portion of their wedding in their home city and enjoy a beach ceremony here in Aruba. Therefore you will see prices for the Civil Ceremony portion both alone as well as included in some of the packages. We also have a package for the beach ceremony without the legal (civil) ceremony included for those who legally married at home.
All Beach Wedding Packages include:
Elegant bridal bouquet of choice and a matching groom's boutenierr
A bottle of Freixenet Cordon Negro sparkling wine for the toast
Decorated area of the beach decorated in our contemporary style
Unlimited consultation with the wedding coordinator prior to arrival and on site after your arrival.
