Hotels in Curacao

Curacao's calling card is Willemstad, a UNESCO World Heritage waterfront of Dutch gabled townhouses painted in sherbet colours, split by a harbour channel crossed on a floating pontoon bridge that swings open for ships. Beyond the capital, the island's western end is a string of small coves tucked between limestone cliffs, with reef within swimming distance of shore that makes Curacao one of the Caribbean's best and least crowded shore-diving destinations. Like Aruba and Bonaire it sits outside the hurricane belt, so the weather is dependable year-round.
