Before you buy a home in Aruba, determine the purpose of this house. Do you want to live there permanently yourself, is it an investment in your pension or is the house intended to be rented out to holidaymakers?
The purpose partly determines the interior of the house. Consider, for example, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. But also the luxury of a swimming pool and other comfortable amenities.
The various places in Aruba each have their own advantage. For example, there are places that are especially suitable for vacation rentals, while other places offer you the desired rest for permanent residence.
