The Location and Atmosphere
Starting at Boca Catalina Beach, this experience is set in a genuinely scenic spot. Known for its calm waters and soft sands, it’s less crowded than some more touristy beaches, making it ideal for a private, serene setting. The moment you arrive, you’ll notice the setup: a romantic table for two, surrounded by twinkling candles, with the sound of gentle waves in the background.
The hosts, who are clearly passionate about creating a special atmosphere, will greet you warmly and ensure everything is ready. The focus on creating a cozy, intimate environment makes this more than just a painting class — it’s a romantic escape.
The Artistic Journey
Once settled, you’ll be provided with all the necessary painting materials. The workshop is designed to be accessible, whether you’re experienced or a complete novice. The goal isn’t necessarily technical mastery but capturing the magic of the moment and your togetherness.
As you paint, the soothing music and stunning sunset serve as constant sources of inspiration. We loved the way the soft glow of the candles blended with the natural light — it creates a warm, inviting feel that encourages a relaxed, playful approach to art.
Food and Drink
The experience includes a bottle of wine, which adds to the laid-back, romantic vibe. The local snacks and sweet treat are thoughtfully chosen, giving you a taste of Aruba’s flavors. One reviewer noted that the snacks were delicious, and the overall setup was “beautiful and in the perfect location to watch the sunset.”
Sipping wine while watching the sky change colors — that’s the kind of memory you’ll cherish long after the canvas dries.
The Artistic Creation and Keepsake
By the end of the session, you’ll have a personal painting that captures your experience. We appreciated that this isn’t just a fleeting moment — you leave with a tangible souvenir of your Aruba trip. And the fact that only your group participates means it’s all about your shared experience, not a crowd of strangers.
Authentic and Locally-Driven
This activity is run by Island Inspirations by VL, a locally-owned business committed to providing authentic experiences. From the personalized service to the setting, you can tell they care about creating a memorable, genuine moment.
Pricing and Value
At $245 for a private two-person experience, the cost may seem high at first glance. But when you consider the exclusive setting, the included wine and snacks, and the lasting keepsake, it offers good value. You’re paying for a boutique, intimate activity that combines romance, art, and Aruba’s natural beauty — not a crowded group class.
Possible Drawbacks
Weather is the main factor to consider. Since the experience is outdoors and relies on sunset views, poor weather could mean rescheduling or a full refund. It’s worth checking the forecast and planning on a clear evening.
