About Aruba Reserve

Your local connection to everything Aruba does best.

We're not an app, a booking platform, or a tour operator. We're people who know this island and the people on it.

Santi - Founder of Aruba Reserve
The Founder

Hi, I'm Santi.

Aruba Reserve was built on a simple belief: visitors to Aruba deserve more than a list of tour company phone numbers. They deserve a personal connection . someone who knows the best captain for a private charter, the chef who will make a birthday dinner legendary, and the driver who will have a cold drink waiting at arrivals.

I've spent years building those relationships across the island. Every chef, captain, guide, driver, and specialist in my network has been vetted personally . not reviewed online. I know them by name.

That's Aruba Reserve. It's not a platform. It's a Rolodex, a set of relationships, and a commitment to making sure that when guests arrive in Aruba, they feel like they landed in the hands of a friend, not a booking system.

The Person Behind Aruba Reserve

Santi - Founder

Santi

Founder

Born in Venezuela and raised in Aruba, I grew up alongside the people now running the island's coolest, most jaw-dropping experiences. After college in Charleston, South Carolina . where I fell in love with the warmth of southern hospitality . I came home determined to bring those same principles back to the island.

That's how Aruba Reserve was born: a concierge service that feels less like a booking platform and more like having your guy on the island, ready to plan whatever you need. When I'm not coordinating experiences, you'll find me out fishing, on the beach tennis court, or playing padel.
