Stone Throw Boutique Hotel isn't just a place to stay, it's a haven for those seeking the genuine rhythm of Aruba. This intimate oasis, nestled in the heart of Eagle, carries the soul of Rik Maes, a man who fell in love with the island's turquoise waters and sandy whispers back in 1995.
At Stone Throw, we're more than just a hotel, we're your Aruban family. We're Rik's dream realized, a refuge for those seeking an authentic island experience. We're the stories whispered by the stones, the warmth of a welcoming smile, and the echo of laughter carried on the Caribbean breeze. Come, discover your own Aruban story at Stone Throw Boutique Hotel.
In 2009, fate presented an unexpected opportunity: a charming complex whispering tales of its former glory. Rik, driven by a vision of nurturing its timeless beauty, seized the chance. Years of meticulous renovations followed, guided by respect for the local architecture and infused with Rik's passion for Aruban culture and hospitality.
Finally, on January 1st, 2024, Stone Throw Boutique Hotel rose from the sand, ready to embrace its first official guests. But the story doesn't begin there. Since 2011, these very apartments have welcomed travelers through doors painted with island magic, courtesy of platforms like AirBNB and VRBO. Each stay was a seed sown, cultivating a community of wanderlust-stricken souls who discovered the island's generosity through this hidden gem.
Today, Stone Throw Boutique Hotel stands as a testament to this shared love for Aruba. Its seven individually decorated rooms, each a canvas where local artistry dances with modern comfort, invite you to unwind and connect with the island's essence. Immerse yourself in the courtyard garden teeming with local birds like hummingbirds while you sit by the (salt water) pool and just relax. Breathe in the fresh air, savor the vibrant sunsets from Druif Beach, and let the rhythmic pulse of Aruba lull you into a state of blissful serenity.
