Supervised Kids' Programs

La Cabana offers kids’ programs for every age. The Club Cabana Nana program for children 5 to 12 offers activities from 10:30am until 3:30pm daily, except Wednesdays when the program runs from 5pm to 8:30pm. The program runs year around. Kids receive a Club Cabana Nana T-shirt, lunch daily (pizza on Wednesday nights), and plenty of activities from which to choose: scavenger hunts, mini-golf, sandcastle building, talent show, and more. Papiamento lessons are a fun and educational part of the program, along with a botanical tour of the property and lessons on the island’s history and culture.

Teens aren’t forgotten either. The Teen Cabana Culture Club entertains ages 13 to 17 with windsurfing, snorkeling, billiards, mini-golf, beach disco parties, and more. There may be some additional costs for this program, depending on the activity planned. The Teen Cabana Culture Club takes place every Thursday and the price includes lunch and a T-shirt.

Recommendations from the Concierge:

Concierge Bernadette Davis at La Cabana Resort recommends several Aruba activities for families:

1. Tiri Kochi Park: a playground park where kids can play.

2. Kibaima Park: A mini zoo and recreational park. They have miniature Aruban village houses, a replica coin house, a replica stamp house, redesigned miniature houses of children’s classic stories such as Cinderella, the Seven Dwarfs, and the Three Bears. This park is good for children age nine and under.

3. Baby Beach: A perfect beach for children with no current or tide. It’s a family beach that’s calm and shallow. There are picnic huts and lots of shade; all ages will enjoy.

4. Adventure Golf. Great for kids with arcade machines, a boat ride for children age five and up. Mini golf for all ages with an Italian restaurant on premise.
