MooMba Beach Bar & Restaurant

Located directly on the white sands of Palm Beach between the Marriott Surf Club and the Holiday Inn, MooMba Beach Bar & Restaurant is arguably the most famous open-air beach bar in Aruba. Known as the ultimate island hangout, it features two giant palapas under which guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, and dinner with their toes in the sand. By day, it is a relaxed spot for sunbathing and casual dining; by night, it transforms into the epicenter of Aruba’s nightlife, hosting lively parties, live bands, and DJs that keep the dance floor packed until the early hours.
The menu is an accessible mix of international comfort food, fresh seafood, and grilled meats, including a popular “All-You-Can-Eat BBQ” on Sundays. However, MooMba is best known for its vibrant bar scene and events. It is the go-to venue for watching major sporting events (like the Super Bowl or World Cup) on giant screens and is the main stage for the annual “Unofficial” Dutch New Year’s Dive (Unox Nieuwjaarsduik). Whether you’re there for a romantic sunset dinner or to dance the night away, MooMba defines the “One Happy Island” spirit.
