Celebrate the New Year in Paradise
There’s no better way to ring in 2025 than in Aruba, where the start of the year blends seamlessly into the vibrant festivities of Carnival season. At Passions on the Beach, we set the tone with a beachfront dining experience that celebrates the island's beauty and flavors.

The Torch Parade (Parada di Flambeu): The Beginning of Carnival
Mark your calendar for January 11—the night the Torch Parade (Parada di Flambeu) officially ignites Aruba’s Carnival season. From 8 PM to 3 AM, the streets will glow with flaming torches, pulsate with the rhythm of steel drums and brass bands, and come alive with colorful costumes and dancing revelers. This iconic nighttime parade is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the energy and culture of Carnival.

Dine Before the Parade
Before the festivities begin, treat yourself to an intimate dining experience at Passions on the Beach. Our menu offers a blend of fresh seafood, island-inspired dishes, and tropical cocktails, served in a setting that’s as unforgettable as the parade itself. Relax with your toes in the sand, the sound of waves in your ears, and the Carnival spirit in the air.

The Carnival Season Awaits
While the Torch Parade is a major event, Aruba's Carnival season is packed with parades, music, and celebrations that stretch across the island. Passions on the Beach is your perfect retreat throughout the season, offering delicious meals and an atmosphere of relaxed elegance to balance the high-energy festivities.
