Curacao Villas

Willemstad’s Colorful Charm

The capital city of Willemstad is a feast for the senses, with its iconic pastel Dutch Colonial architecture, vibrant street art, and lively harbor. Stroll across the Queen Emma floating bridge, visit the historic Rif Fort, and explore the boutiques and cafés in the Punda and Otrobanda districts.

World-Class Diving & Snorkeling

Curacao is a diver’s dream, with more than 60 dive sites ranging from shallow reefs to dramatic drop-offs and shipwrecks. Snorkel right off the beach at Playa Lagun or Tugboat Beach, or take a guided dive to Mushroom Forest—one of the Caribbean’s top-rated underwater landscapes.

Hidden Beaches & Coastal Escapes

While Curacao’s beaches may be smaller than other Caribbean islands, they’re full of character. Cas Abao and Playa PortoMari are known for their turquoise waters and white sand, while Playa Knip offers a more rugged, untouched feel. Many villa rentals in Curacao offer easy access to these stunning shores.

Art, Culture & History

Visit Landhuis Chobolobo to learn about the island’s famous Blue Curacao liqueur, or explore the Kura Hulanda Museum for a powerful look at African and Caribbean history. For a contemporary touch, check out the island’s flourishing art scene with murals, galleries, and local studios scattered throughout Willemstad.

Adventure Off the Beaten Path

Nature lovers can explore Christoffel National Park, home to Curacao’s highest peak and rare flora and fauna. Hike to the summit for panoramic views, or wander Shete Boka National Park to witness sea spray explode against dramatic cliffs and sea caves.

Curacao International Airport (CUR) is well connected to major U.S. and European cities, and most travelers can enjoy visa-free entry.  Transportation to and from your villa can be arranged with our award-winning concierge team.

When to Go

The island is just outside the hurricane belt, making Curacao a reliable year-round destination. December through April offers ideal weather and festive energy, while the off-season (May to November) is quieter and more affordable.

What to Pack for Your Trip

Pack lightweight clothing, swimsuits, water shoes, and plenty of reef-safe sunscreen. Many Curacao villas include beach gear, but bringing your own snorkel set can come in handy for spontaneous underwater adventures.

Language and Currency

Dutch and Papiamentu are the official languages, but English and Spanish are widely spoken. The local currency is the Antillean guilder, but U.S. dollars are accepted in most tourist areas.
