A vacation in Curaçao means sun, sea, and relaxation but also choosing the right place to stay. The island offers a wide range of locations, each with its own vibe and advantages. Wondering which area suits your travel style best? Here’s a quick overview of the most popular regions:
Willemstad
Punda & Otrobanda
If you love culture, local markets, and historical charm, Willemstad is a great base. The city is filled with colorful colonial architecture, museums, and street cafés. Just note: you’ll be farther from the beach.
Jan Thiel
Jan Thiel is popular with travelers who enjoy luxury, beach clubs, and convenience. You’ll find restaurants, shops, a supermarket, and the beach all within walking distance. It’s a lively area, but less centrally located.
Looking for peace and nature? Then Westpunt is perfect. It's near the island’s best snorkel spots like Grote Knip and Playa Lagun. A great option for nature lovers though amenities are more spread out.
Mambo Beach – the perfect balance
Mambo Beach offers the best of both worlds: relaxation, beach life, dining, and entertainment all in one place. Centrally located between Willemstad and Jan Thiel, it’s the ideal spot for travelers who want it all within easy reach.
