Since its opening on December 19, 2024, Joia Aruba by Iberostar has consolidated a culinary offering that blends modern luxury, warm service, and a commitment to the environment. Under the "Deliciously Responsible" concept, all of the hotel's restaurants and bars operate with sustainable practices: they prioritize the use of fresh, locally sourced produce and work closely with nearby fishing communities to ensure responsible fishing.
The design of each space reflects a contemporary luxury aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the Caribbean vegetation and landscapes. This is complemented by personalized, friendly, and welcoming service that enhances the experience in every corner of the resort.
Below is a tour of its main proposals:
Bucatini
More than a restaurant, Bucatini represents a direct journey to the heart of Italy. Every detail has been carefully thought out to provide an authentic experience, from the artisanal pastas to the water served at the table, imported from Italy. At night, the space transforms into an elegant Italian à la carte restaurant, featuring pastas, pizzas, and classic desserts like tiramisu. The atmosphere, service, and cuisine transport diners to a typical Old World trattoria.
In the morning, it serves as a breakfast buffet with a premium selection including salmon, fresh fruit, eggs, cold cuts, baked goods, and yogurt.

Marea
Inspired by the essence of the Caribbean, Marea combines local ingredients with a relaxed and vibrant atmosphere. Its location on Eagle Beach offers both outdoor seating with ocean views and intimate spaces surrounded by tropical vegetation. Open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., this restaurant is ideal for those seeking authentic flavors and freshness in every dish, in close contact with nature.

The resort offers a varied selection of bars, each with its own unique identity and designed for different times of the day. Zima Rooftop is the exclusive bar for adults, located on the terrace with an infinity pool and panoramic views. It opens at 11 a.m. and offers sophisticated cocktails, light cuisine, and a lively atmosphere with DJs at sunset. Star Café , on the other hand, is ideal for a relaxing break, offering snacks and quality coffee in a tranquil setting. In the heart of the hotel, the Lobby Bar offers an elegant and welcoming atmosphere, perfect for entertaining, waiting, or enjoying a drink with warm attention. For those with access to The Club , the Star Prestige Bar offers exclusive service with premium drinks in a private and refined space. Finally, the Aquabar , located within the main pool, allows you to enjoy refreshing drinks without leaving the water, combining leisure and comfort under the Caribbean sun.
