Destination Information for Curacao

The ‘C’ in the ABC islands– alongside Aruba and Bonaire– Curacao is a country with clear European influence, shown by its brightly painted Dutch colonial buildings in Willemstad, but it still contains many of the characteristics that make Caribbean islands so unique. The coastline is a major reason Curacao receives such large volumes of tourists, as white sand and turquoise oceans provide the perfect backdrop to a holiday of relaxation.

Marine life thrives in the area, making it a paradise for scuba divers and snorkelers, as the reef is teeming with coral and exotic fish. Also, Curacao is protected from the worst of the Atlantic’s hurricane season, making it a potential holiday destination all year round. Gentle trade winds prevent temperatures from getting too high, ensuring it remains warm in the day but cool at night.
