Haus zu kaufen in Noord, Aruba

Warm winters, sun-soaked summer days, and barely a drop of rain. Pristine white beaches and a dazzling turquoise sea. Welcome to Aruba—arguably the Caribbean’s finest gem. It’s no wonder this island is affectionately called "One Happy Island": life here is laid-back, and happiness is simply part of the culture. Nestled in complete privacy with breathtaking views and the most stunning garden you can imagine, this villa truly lives up to the name dream home.
Just 15 minutes from Reina Beatrix Airport, the automatic gates swing open, revealing a scene straight from a postcard—majestic palm trees that seem to have stood there for centuries, a charming mini-temple, and a Buddha statue (gifted, so naturally, it brings good fortune). This radiant white villa is tucked away in Boegoeroei, a serene neighborhood in northern Aruba where vibrant beach life is always close, yet here, you’ll feel like you’ve got the whole world to yourself. Time to grab that hammock—your slice of paradise awaits.

Panoramic Perfection

Perched atop a hill, this grand villa offers sweeping, uninterrupted views. By day, gaze out at the endless blue horizon; by dusk, marvel at the twinkling sea of lights from Aruba’s luxury high-rise hotels, shimmering like stars. Beyond lies the vast Caribbean Sea, home to dazzling coral reefs and secluded beaches. This view? It’s truly one in a million.

Surprises Around Every Corner

Beyond its postcard-perfect setting, the villa is packed with thoughtful, cutting-edge features. The current owner has transformed it into a sustainability haven. Solar panels? Check. State-of-the-art, energy-efficient air conditioning throughout? Absolutely. Fancy remotely controlling the garden sprinklers or adjusting the lighting from the Netherlands? No problem. With 15 security cameras, automated pool floaters, a backup generator for those rare island power outages, and a water recovery system, virtually every modern convenience has been considered—and delivered. A Dutch company, monitoring the latest tech trends from Aruba, has been instrumental in bringing these innovations to life.

A Legendary Guest

Villa Boegoeroei isn’t just a home—it’s a place with stories. One particularly special memory? The father of the current owner hosted none other than Johan Cruijff during the opening of Aruba’s first Cruijff Court in 2006. That evening, Johan enjoyed a Caribbean-style barbecue at the villa’s cozy outdoor bar. How many villas can claim a legendary football icon in their guestbook?

A One-of-a-Kind Property

It all started in the late '80s when the owner’s father, enchanted by Aruba, purchased this nearly 2,000 m² plot. Back then, only a dream and a remarkable architectural design existed. Today? That dream stands proudly in the form of a sprawling villa with seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, three living rooms, and a mezzanine library. The villa spans an impressive 733 m², spread over two spacious floors.
The main residence on the upper floor is simply breathtaking. Indoor and outdoor living seamlessly merge thanks to large accordion doors that open onto a terrace, where the playful, semicircular pool invites you to dive in. Colonial-style arched windows add character, while strategically placed ceiling fans keep the covered terrace cool and inviting—perfect for evening relaxation.

Spacious Yet Cozy

The vastness of the upper level is accentuated by its soaring ceiling. A grand staircase leads to the mezzanine—now an office and open library—with terraces on either side. Below, you’ll find the en-suite bedrooms, the welcoming living room, and a charming, country-style kitchen that feels as cozy as it is functional.

Versatile Living Spaces

On the ground floor, an independent apartment with two large bedrooms offers perfect accommodations for guests or potential rental opportunities. Another apartment with a spacious kitchen is also situated here—ideal for live-in caretakers or short-term stays, ensuring privacy for all.
For even more flexibility, a guesthouse—the third standalone building on the property—offers equally stunning views and an interior that seamlessly blends with the outdoors. Plus, there's a garage for up to four cars.

A Garden Like No Other

Designed by a Dutch landscaper who made Aruba his home, the park-like tropical garden is arguably one of the island’s finest. Mature palm trees sway gently, native shrubs flourish, and the grass is—without exaggeration—greener than anywhere else around. And what’s outdoor living without a poolside bar and a pond with a soothing waterfall? Here, evenings become unforgettable experiences.

A Fresh Look with Dutch Flair

While the villa retains its warm and inviting atmosphere, the interiors recently underwent a stylish refresh. “After my father passed, it felt a bit dated,” the current owner shares. Enter Rivièra Maison furnishings—shipped in a container straight from the Netherlands. The result? A perfect blend of Dutch design, homely coziness, and that irresistible island vibe.

Everything Within Reach

Life on Aruba is a delightful mix of local charm and American convenience. Need groceries? The Super Food Plaza stocks everything you could wish for. And while many tourists hop in taxis for their shopping runs (the supermarket even has dedicated taxi spots!), you won’t need to—this villa comes with a Hyundai Palisade, a spacious seven-seater SUV.

Location, Location, Location

From this serene retreat, you’re just 10 minutes from Oranjestad’s colorful streets, where pastel buildings meet luxury boutiques, trendy restaurants, and lively nightclubs. At the harbor, sip a drink while watching yachts and cruise ships glide in—Aruba welcomes some 800,000 cruise visitors each year.

Tax Perks? Yes, Please!

For Dutch nationals considering a move, Aruba’s tax benefits are another reason to smile. “If you settle here, you’re free from Dutch income tax after just one year,” the owner explains. And since 2018, inheritance and gift taxes have been abolished. Talk about living the dream!
