ORANJESTAD — Casa del Mar Beach Resort celebrated its 40th anniversary in October 2026, having opened on October 4, 1986, as Aruba's second timeshare resort.
Developed by Sun Development under Raymond Maduro's vision, the resort helped establish Aruba's timeshare tourism industry. Today, Casa del Mar features 147 suites and welcomes generations of returning families, some of whom have passed their timeshare ownership on to their children.
The anniversary celebration honored employees for their longstanding dedication and contributions. Former general managers also attended, while Aruba Tourism Authority CEO Ronella Croes participated in the recognition ceremony.
