Its Sarah Quita Beach center, next to The Ritz-Carlton, focuses on windsurfing, kitesurfing, wing foiling, eFoiling and private snorkeling tours. A second Vela Sports Aruba location on Palm Beach, between Marriott Stellaris and The Ritz-Carlton, houses the surf shop, equipment rentals and yoga activities.

Lessons are available at beginner and advanced levels depending on the activity. The official booking system also lists equipment rentals, including paddleboards, kayaks, snorkeling gear and beach cruiser bikes.

Beyond its wind and water activities, Vela Sports Aruba currently offers SUP Yoga, SUP Pilates, beach yoga and beach bootcamp. The company’s booking pages publish both private and group options for several of these activities, with availability and pricing varying by session.
