As more alternatives to traditional hotels have emerged over the last few years, travelers have more opportunities to design the type of vacation that suits their style – even for a beach vacation to Aruba. If a quiet, comfortable setting near the beach with more independence and space than a hotel room offers is what you are seeking, Bubali Bliss Studios delivers just that.

Located in what was formerly a large, private villa, Bubali Bliss Studios has 10 apartments ranging in size from studios to one-bedroom, each unique in design and layout.

With a focus on providing an Aruban vacation stay in an excellent location, with the best value for the money, and in apartments with modern comforts and design, the Bubali Bliss Studios concept offers those travelers less dependent on full-service hotels a pleasant, spacious accommodation with a full kitchen and housekeeping every third day.

Bubali Bliss Studios: Hotel & self-check-in

Centrally located on the island of Aruba, the Bubali Bliss Studios apartments are tucked away in a laid-back, tropical setting just steps away from a grocery and shops and about 650 meters (under a half of a mile) from Eagle Beach.

On a short street behind the Superfood Supermarket, the apartments sit behind a bright yellow, keyless entry gate. Bubali Bliss’ self-check-in provides flexibility and privacy, with the gate code, apartment door code, and a map of the property sent prior to arrival, making check-in easy and available at any time of arrival.

As guests arrive inside the gate, directions to the apartments are provided amidst the tropical greenery and landscaping.

Marcel, the manager of Bubali Bliss, is very helpful and on-site at the property Monday – Saturday from 9 am-11 am. A phone number is provided to guests for questions and emergencies at other times.

Bubali Bliss Studios: The studios and apartments

Each apartment at Bubali Bliss Studios has a full-size kitchen, updated bathrooms, a safe, and an air-conditioned bedroom.

Decorated in white with bright color accents, the apartments are fresh and clean with a tropical flair.

The kitchen is ready-to-go for cooking with a refrigerator, coffee maker, microwave, 4-burner stove, sink, dishes, pots and pans, towels, knives, and utensils.

The bathrooms are modern and furnished with Aruba Aloe Toiletries and plenty of plush towels.

Deluxe studios have a living area separated from the bedroom area by a dividing wall and the one bedroom apartments have a living area with a sleeper sofa, flat screen TV, and dining area.

Studios deluxe and one-bedroom apartments open to a patio with an outdoor dining set via french doors.

While at Bubali Bliss, we stayed in a one-bedroom apartment. The property was very quiet and peaceful. A walk across the street to the grocery yielded the ingredients for early evening refreshments that we enjoyed before heading out for an evening sail.

Returning later in the evening, we relaxed near the pool, taking in the Aruban sky as the wind gently rustled the trees.
