The turquoise sea, endless beaches, and the charm of Caribbean life — Curaçao captures you from the very first moment. It has everything, from culture to relaxation, and exudes a unique balance of energy and calm.
In Willemstad, wander between pastel-colored façades and picturesque boutiques. The iconic Queen Emma Bridge is a sight in itself, especially in the evening when it’s beautifully illuminated. For those who love to explore, the island offers countless ways to enjoy it at your own pace: rent a jet ski, climb Mount Christoffel, or simply relax in the warm sunshine by the sea. Curaçao truly has something for everyone.
Jan Thiel – beach life with class
Jan Thiel is one of the island’s most vibrant beaches. Before reaching the sand, you’ll pass a charming boulevard lined with boutique shops — perfect for a little shopping break between sunbathing sessions.
At the far end of the beach lies Koko’s, a lively beach club with a relaxed atmosphere, complimentary sunbeds, and service right to your towel. Think fresh mango smoothies, French toast, and cool drinks brought straight to your spot. It’s the essence of vacation: carefree, warm, and effortlessly stylish.
Mambo Beach – the heart of the island
Mambo Beach is the beating heart of Curaçao, where beach, shops, and restaurants blend seamlessly together. The boulevard is lined with boutiques and picture-perfect dining spots.
A favorite for breakfast or lunch is Bliss the Berry – famous for its fresh smoothie bowls, bagels, and pancakes.
Those looking to unwind can rent luxury sunbeds at Cabana Beach (25 euros per day for two loungers) and enjoy excellent service. The cocktails are a must-try — especially the Piña Colada.
Otrobanda – art and character
For a touch of culture, a visit to Otrobanda is a must. This district bursts with color, art, and personality. You’ll find boutiques, an ice cream parlor, a chocolate shop, and even small museums. As you stroll through the streets, you’re surrounded by murals and street art — a living canvas full of stories.
Otrobanda is within walking distance of Willemstad, making it easy to combine both in one perfect day.
In conclusion
Curaçao is an island made for enjoyment — on the beach, at the table, or during a leisurely stroll through town. Whether you come for relaxation, culture, or culinary discoveries, one thing is certain: you’ll leave with sunshine in your heart and color in your mind.
