Aruba's One Happy Workation
The "One Happy Workation" program offers US and Dutch nationals the opportunity to work, play, and stay in Aruba for up to three months. Aruba is a short flight from most of the United States and is just one hour ahead of New York—no jet lag or timezone difference.
Aruba provides a variety of picturesque remote workspace locations: under a palapa on the beach, on your private balcony overlooking paradise, poolside for better Wi-Fi connectivity, in a cozy coffee shop, or at an outdoor restaurant with plenty of shade.
The extended stay in Aruba allows you to immerse yourself in the local culture and explore less-known spots on the island. Engage in outdoor activities like kite surfing, paddle boarding, hiking, or beach yoga to rejuvenate after work hours—the perfect work/life balance island paradise.
