Villa & Pool Gated Community 750y from Palm Beach!

The 6 Bedroom Villa with ensuite bathrooms and private Pool is a 3000 sq. ft. private villa with a spacious garden offering a pool with lounge chairs, furnished shaded terrace with lounge set, dining set and built-in charcoal/gas BBQ: ideal for outside lounging, relaxing and dining. The Villa is located at Merlot Villas Aruba.

Merlot Villas Aruba a small exclusive gated villa community located in the best part of Aruba where luxury meets privacy. Merlot Villas Aruba is located right behind the Marriott Hotel approximately 1 mile (10-15 minute’s walk) from Palm Beach, one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Golf courts, shopping malls, cinemas, bars and restaurants are also close by. There is a medium seizes grocery store located right around the corner.

The villa has 6 bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms and king size beds. You also have an extra tower room which is only accessible via the master bedroom with two twins, so you have to share the master bathroom. So in total there are 7 bedrooms for 14 guests in total. Two second floor bedrooms have also access to the shaded roof terrace offering beautiful sunset views.

You will be able to enjoy the entire villa and all its amenities in complete privacy, including;

- Free wireless Internet (WiFi)
- Flatscreen smart satellite TV's (TV room/master bedroom)
- Hair dryer, iron & ironing board
- Fully equipped kitchen (4-pit stove, fridge, toaster, blender, microwave, filter coffee maker, cooker, dishwasher)
- Private garden with pool, four lounge chairs, lounge set, dining set and charcoal BBQ
- Private parking for 2 cars
- Linens & towels provided (one set per guest)

- Beach towels, beach chairs and a beach cooler available
- Soap, shampoo, toilet paper & dishwasher/laundry detergent provided (for the first few days)
- Extra cleaning, private chef services, spa services & grocery services available upon request (fee applies)

Notes;
Prices are based on total of guests, each additional guest above 4 guests is $25 USD per guest per night extra (children up to 2 years stay free of charge). We have this price setting so we can offer very competitive prices for smaller groups as well.

You will have an electricity and water allowance of 50 USD per day. The allowance is sufficient when using the utilities consciously. For example shut off the AC’s when you not using or not at home. We will monitor the usage as well and when you are using too much we will warn you first so you can adjust your usage.

We try to give you as much as privacy and rest during your stay but we are always close by to assist you and try to solve any issues you might have as quickly as possible.

Even though the villa is situated close to the beach and the High Rise Area, we do recommend renting a car for sightseeing, exploring other beaches and for large groceries.

It is possible to change the bed setting please ask for the possibilities

- The water/electricity usage is also included in the price up to US$50 a day. This amount is more than sufficient when using the air conditioning wisely, meaning; keeping windows and doors closed when turning the AC on and turning the AC off when leaving the villa. We will monitor it and warn you when overusing so you can adjust.

Beautiful place to stay, close to the beach and not too far from the downtown area Everything was of top standard, the place was clean and well maintained The backyard with the pool was amazing. The convenience store was a big plus, it was located within walking distance. If you thinking about visiting Aruba, I would highly recommend this property

Nice Villa -walking distance to downtown/beach
We very much enjoyed our stay at mellow villas. There was a little confusion at first as we were moved to a different house, but our host got to us before we unpacked everything which was great. There is a very convenient grocery store just across the street and we regularly walked into town and to the beach. We had a young child with us, and there was some noise from, the workers . The home we were in is apparently where they do a lot of their work for the development. one day they even build a pergola on the front of the home we were staying in just thought that was a little odd, but they did a nice job. It just made it difficult when the baby was sleeping. Make sure you check the number of people allowed for the price so that you’re not charged extra. Overall wonderful vacation.

Second Time Better Than The Last
This was our second vacation at the Merlot Villas. The first time was 3 years ago and we would have continued the annual vacation if it were not for Covid. This particular villa, 47G, exceeded our expectations as far as accommodations and amenities. Plenty of room to spread out yet cozy enough to feel like home. The area is very well located near the high rise hotels in Palm Beach and easily walkable. There is a well stocked supermarket across the street that’s open till 10:00pm. Backyard was like a resort; lots of different types of seating and lounges, beautiful pool (lit up a night), water toys, a trampoline and a large barbecue. Our group had a wonderful carefree vacation with no issues to the manager Frank.

The property was exquisite. It is waking distance from most major attractions in Palm Beach and an inexpensive cab ride away. I am definitely considering a future stay at this exact property.

Great place, great people!
I traveled to Aruba for a girls' trip. Six of us stayed at Merlot Villa and it was wonderful. The home was clean and spacious, Frank and Ivan were extremely nice, as was Bran, who helped us get back into the house when we accidentally locked ourselves out! The community is close enough to the resorts that many of our planned excursions actually came and picked us up outside the gate so we didn't really have to worry about transportation. We did have a rental car to drive to Baby beach and some of the other areas downtown, but we did see people walking from the neighborhood to the beach neat the Marriott. Overall it was a great experience, I highly, highly recommend this place. P. S. If you're staying in unit 47B, we left our lounge floats for the next guests to enjoy. :-)

Clean, conveniently located, secure, and well-run villa
This was a perfect solution for our family. We had three adults and three children. There was plenty of space, enough bedrooms and bathrooms for everyone, and a terrific pool and pool area. We liked that the property is gated and near the Ritz and Marriott hotels. It was also close to the big grocery store and a stone's throw away from a mini-mart. Bram and Frank were very responsive to our needs. If we were to travel to the area in the future, we would stay at Merlot Villas again.

The house was beautiful in a quite neighborhood
The house was beautiful and spacious with enough bathrooms for every guest, however it was extremely hot in the house. There was only one ac unit to cool down the entire downstairs and we were not allowed to run it for long periods of time or else we would go over the electric usage allowed per day and then would have to pay extra. Also make sure to bring extra pillows and blankets, the pillows were flat like pancakes and gave me a headache.
