When should I arrive and leave Aruba?

We suggest arriving by Wednesday, August 27th to give yourself time to unwind and settle in before the festivities kick off. The Welcome Party starts Thursday evening, August 28th.

Our final celebration wraps up late on Saturday, August 30th, so feel free to fly out anytime Sunday or later, depending on your travel plans.

What about airport transportation?

The airport is just a 10-minute drive from JOIA Aruba. If you booked your stay through our room block, transportation to and from the airport is included.

Longwood Travel will send personalized transportation info to each guest. Keep an eye out for that email! If you did not, there are taxis right outside of the airport. Taxi are $40 to Joia Aruba.

How early should I arrive at the airport for departure?

We highly recommend arriving 3 hours before your flight home. While arriving in Aruba is quick and simple, departing involves two separate security checkpoints.

After the first security check, you’ll enter a food court area, but there is a second customs control line afterward, which can be time-consuming. Better safe (and early) than stressed!

Is sunscreen provided at the Joia Aruba resort?

Yes! Sunscreen is provided at all pool areas, so you can stay protected without packing extra.

What should I know about arriving in Aruba?

It’s a breeze! From landing to checking into the hotel usually takes about 30 minutes total.

Before your flight, be sure to fill out Aruba’s ED Card/customs form online . Do this in advance! It costs $20 and is required for entry.
