Matthew's Beachside Restaurant – Oceanfront Dining at Casa del Mar

Atmosphere & Story

Situated at Casa del Mar Beach Resort, Matthew's pairs Aruba's most beloved stretch of sand with a relaxed, polished dining room. Guests can sit under the palapa roof, on the open-air deck, or directly in the sand while waves lap nearby. Expect smiling servers, Caribbean breezes, and a calendar of events ranging from all-you-can-eat ribs to karaoke. With three daily happy hours and panoramic sunsets, Matthew's is a go-to for both resort guests and locals.
