Tie the Knot in Aruba

Planning a more intimate affair? The tranquil 63-room Bucuti Beach Resort is a good choice. This tasteful boutique hotel (think chic white stucco and elegant mahogany furniture) hosts stylish weddings for up to 15 people on its own quiet stretch of Eagle Beach, the largest and prettiest strand on the island. This part of the beach is extremely secluded, and, since the hotel is "couples only," the gorgeous landscape is unspoiled by throngs of tour boats or screaming kids. The hotel's wedding coordinator will even arrange a private "wedding for two," where you'll enjoy an evening ceremony followed by a five-course dinner on the beach.
