Other dates worth booking
Aruba's national day, King's Day (April 27), is shared with the Netherlands as a whole, but the island adds its own National Anthem and Flag Day (March 18), commemorating the 1986 status separation from the Netherlands Antilles. Carnival Monday, the day after a months-long Carnival season culminates in the Grand Parade, is a full public holiday unique to the island's own calendar.

Aruba has 11 public holidays in 2027, 2 fewer than the global average of 13.
3 public holidays fall on a weekend in Aruba in 2027: Labour Day (Saturday, May 1), Christmas Day (Saturday, December 25), Boxing Day (Sunday, December 26). Aruba grants no substitute day for these, so these are lost.
It depends — Aruba moves some public holidays that fall on a weekend to the next working day, but not all of them.
4 consecutive days off in Aruba in 2027, March 18–March 21, by booking 1 day of leave.
The next public holiday in Aruba is Dia Pasco di Nascimento (Christmas Day) on December 25, 2026.
Shrove Monday, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Ascension Day do not fall on the same date every year in Aruba, since they are set by a lunar or other variable calendar rather than a fixed date.
