About Oranjestad time

Oranjestad keeps one clock.

Oranjestad, the sun-kissed capital of Aruba, hums with a relaxed Caribbean pace despite being firmly on Atlantic Standard Time year-round—you can count on the clocks never springing forward or falling back here, which makes scheduling with your Aruban contacts blissfully simple. Its steady AST offset means the sun rises early and sets predictably, and the island's laid-back rhythm syncs well for remote teams, especially during North American business hours, since Aruba clocks align perfectly with the U.S. East Coast outside of daylight saving shifts.
