Why Choose a Bungalow with a Kitchen in Curaçao?

A complete guide for travelers who want more freedom and comfort

When planning a trip to Curaçao, one of the most important choices is the type of accommodation. Many travelers are unsure whether to book a hotel room, an apartment, or a private bungalow and more and more visitors are choosing bungalows with fully equipped kitchens.

Here’s why kitchen-equipped bungalows are one of the best choices for a stay on the island.

1. More Space, More Privacy, More Comfort

A bungalow with a kitchen typically offers:

A spacious living room
Private terrace or outdoor seating
Fully equipped kitchen and dining area
Separate bedroom(s)
Direct access to the garden or pool

This creates a more home-like feeling compared to traditional hotel rooms.

2. Save Money on Dining Out

Curaçao has fantastic restaurants, but eating out three times a day can add up quickly.

With your own kitchen, you can:

This is especially useful for:

And you don't have to rush to restaurants or follow fixed mealtimes.

4. Ideal for longer stays or workations

Curaçao is becoming increasingly popular among:

Long-stay travelers
Remote workers

A kitchen gives you the freedom to settle in comfortably and live more like a local.

5. Enjoy Curaçao’s fresh products and local markets

Shopping at local markets such as:

Floating Market

…becomes part of the experience.

Cooking with fresh fish, fruit, and Caribbean flavors is a special part of island life.

Come home after the beach and cook in your own space

It offers flexibility and reduces stress.
