Caribbean Room With a View: Curacao’s Kura Hulanda

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - May 31, 2013

IT’S NOT OFTEN you can stay inside a UNESCO World Heritage site — but at the Kura Hulanda Resorts in Curacao, you can do just that.

The Dutch colonial property, comprised of a hotel and a lodge & beach club, is a complex of 18th and 19th century buildings in the heart of downtown Willemstad — one of the region’s historic and cultural centres.

For classic Caribbean Sea views, it’s the Lodge & Beach Club that takes the cake, particularly its Ocean Front Studio Suites.

The property’s Ocean Front Studio suites each have two double beds, a kitchenette, large bathrooms and tile floors, with 300-threat Egyptian cotton sheets and comforters.

Enjoy the view.
