11 Places to Have Casual Business Meetings in Aruba

Planning to schedule in some business meetings for the upcoming weeks, but want to keep it casual? Business doesn’t have to mean ties-and-tights, 24/7 (or ever). Some businesses keep it very laid-back and even encourage more of a relaxed work atmosphere. Just think about Google’s well-applauded, fun company culture.

The mood you set for a meeting regarding professional matters, can range from serious and strictly business, to casual drinks for a project check-up. So, to be clear, ditching the boardroom isn’t the equivalent to being less professional. Traditional business methods work for some people, while others thrive with more casual ways.

If you’re looking for a spot to set up a casual business meeting in Aruba, then you’re in luck, because we have 11 suggestions to help! Most (if not all) of the places on this list offer food (either snacks or a full fledged menu), caffeinated drinks, alcoholic beverages, and a casual-yet-cool ambiance. Check out the lineup for yourself, and start marking those calendars!
