Aruba Electricity

Aruba's electrical service makes American visitors feel right at home.

U.S. visitors will be happy to know that Aruba's electrical current is 110-120 volts AC (60 cycle), the same as the United States. However, European visitors will need adapters.


Many of the larger hotels may provide them, but supplies may be limited, so it is always a good idea to call ahead to the hotel and find out. Power blackouts are rarely a concern on Aruba, and when one does occur, it is usually short-lived. Most major hotels will have backup power, making blackouts even less of a concern to visitors, but it may be more of a consideration for visitors to smaller or more remote facilities.


The TV standard is NTSC, so your home video camera will also play back on the hotel's television sets or large-screen projectors.
