Ponton Anchorage
✨ Hidden gem
Ponton Anchorage sits just off the calm, sheltered waters near Oranjestad, putting you within easy reach of Aruba's lively capital city. Drop the hook here and you've got a front-row seat to the colorful Dutch colonial architecture and waterfront scene of downtown Oranjestad, reachable by dinghy or a short ride. It's a relaxed, unhurried spot with the buzz of the city close enough to enjoy without being right on top of you.
