Eco-friendly and an ideal match for the escape artist within, the charming Cunucu Arubiano has all the trappings of a full-service resort minus the crowds. Located in the ruggedly remote Santa Lucia region on the island of Aruba, this hideaway - part of the exclusive Small Luxury Hotels of the World - features just three independent casitas fashioned after the island's vintage-style architecture. Each is its own heavenly one-bedroom retreat, offering the optimum in privacy, with interiors steeped in island culture. Surrounded by cacti and indigenous foliage, the resort is respectful of its local donkey population and is a safe sanctuary for these gentle animals.
