The Lazy Turtle Aruba

Located in the heart of the bustling Paseo Herencia Mall in Palm Beach, The Lazy Turtle ArubaClick to open side panel for more information offers a laid-back, family-friendly dining experience with a surprisingly exotic twist. While it presents itself as a casual Caribbean restaurant, the menu is a creative fusion of African, French, and International cuisine.

With its extensive cocktail menu, vegetarian-friendly options, and lively location, The Lazy Turtle is a perfect spot for a casual lunch, a fun dinner with friends, or a relaxing evening watching the world go by.
