Walk the Perfect Mall

ORANJESTAD — Aruba is hot in every sense of the word,
but not just in temperature. When the sun is at its highest,
I prefer to beat the heat and escape to a comfy environ-
ment. The beach is a great option, but I have a need to
shop, have a coffee, walk around, stop, try on that cute
hat or buy these awesome shoes. After all of that, I crave
for a cool glass of wine and a light snack just before I
meet my friend for dinner. Yes, the perfect day!
Imagine doing all of this, all at one place.
Where?
The perfect mall…

Whether you’re local or visitor, you just have to go to Re-
naissance Mall in Downtown Oranjestad.
You ask why?
Look, malls are everywhere.
But according to Quora there are three main reasons
why a mall is attractive. First reason: Popular brands. Louis
Vuitton, Gucci, Rolex, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Cartier,
Chopard, CH Carolina Herrera, Michael Kors, Kate Spade
are only some of the over 30 stores in this one-stop shop-
ping Valhalla. Renaissance Mall has them all.
The second reason Quora states: recreation and com-
fort. Well, Renaissance Mall is covered, cool, offers clean
public restrooms, is housed in an elegant building with a
classy interior and invites guest to play a round at the ca-
sino upstairs. Besides that, you’re in midtown, the heart of
Oranjestad.
The third reason that brings the customer in: Food! Of
course, we need to fuel our inner body too and Renais-
sance has that ready for you. Starbucks, or a super lunch
at Aquarius Restaurant and finish it all off with dinner at
L.G. Smith’s Steak & Chop House.
It’s just an idea for you, but I do it.

The Sport
Besides the offerings of the mall, I like the walking too. It
is a well-known fact that Dutchies –like me- have a love
affair with walking and as a matter of fact Mall Walking is
a sport in the United States. Yes, it may sound crazy, but
people actually walk and/or jog inside malls for exercise.
In my opinion a great health boost in combination with

shopping. And it’s even shoes. I drank my wine and
better at Renaissance Mall, had a wonderful steak din-
where you are out of the ner and now, I will wander
Renaissance Mall is located in the heart of Oranjestad, a short walking distance from the Main sun and have restrooms off to that sweet, soft suite
Street, and opposite of the picturesque Renaissance Marina. Stores open Monday through Sat- available as well as comfy at the Renaissance Hotel.
