Most of the inhabitants of the island have a more noticeable Arawak heritage than most of the other islands in the Caribbean. While no native Arawaks remain, the Aruban people do have noticeable Arawak features in their appearance, and are mostly of Dutch and Caquetio Indian descent. The island also has a notable Indo-Caribbean and Javanese population, who are the descendants of workers contracted from India and the island of Java in Indonesia. Many of the island's inhabitants are also descended from Venezuelan immigrants due to their close proximity to Venezuela, as well as some Venezuelans having second homes there.

Unlike most of the other islands in the Caribbean which have swampy or tropical environments, Aruba has a dry, arid environment with plenty of cacti. This is one of the sources of the island's famed warm, sunny weather which attracts a lot of tourism to the territory, along with it being located outside of Hurricane Alley which most of the rest of the Caribbean lies in, so hurricanes aren't as much of a problem there.
