5 Reasons Curacao Needs To Be On Your Caribbean Radar

I recently visited Curacao when I cruised there with Royal Caribbean. I immediately fell in love with this island. One thing I love about cruises is you get a snapshot of many places and can decide where you want to go and stay on your next vacation. For me, it’s Curacao.

When it comes to planning a trip with beaches and sunshine straight from a postcard, the Caribbean is a premier destination. Many travelers choose St. Kitts, Grand Cayman, Saint Martin, or Antigua — all beautiful. But one gem often overlooked is Curacao.

Curacao sits east of Aruba, off Venezuela’s coast, with unique beauty and charm. Here are five reasons why it should be on your Caribbean list. Here’s how we help clients explore Curacao — with a few favorite recommendations.

Perfect for families or couples on a budget. Snorkel right from the beach into crystal-clear Caribbean waters teeming with marine life.

A tranquil, luxurious boutique retreat with 72 suites, lush gardens, and a true sense of island serenity.

Most top cruise lines stop in Curacao, giving you a day to experience this colorful port. I visited with Royal Caribbean and loved every minute.

Nestled where desert landscapes meet azure ocean. A romantic, intimate island retreat unlike any other in the Southern Caribbean.

Located on the sandy shores of Piscadera Bay, relax poolside or swim in crystal-clear Caribbean waters at this all-inclusive paradise.

Curacao boasts 35 different beaches, each with its own vibe. Given you can drive the length of the island in 90 minutes, beach-hopping is easy and fun!

Curacao is ranked one of the Caribbean’s most affordable islands — and it’s outside the hurricane belt, making it a safe bet even during storm season.

Curacao’s nightlife is alive with music: jazz, soca, and more. Find your favorite bar or dance the night away with locals and travelers alike.

Explore Curacao’s colorful art scene — from murals to museums and local galleries. The island is a living canvas bursting with creative energy.

A blend of Arawak, Spanish, Portuguese, Jewish, Dutch, and South American influences gives Curacao a rich cultural tapestry unlike anywhere else.
