A New Rooftop Bar in Curaçao

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - October 13th, 2016

One of the southern Caribbean’s top nightlife destinations has another great offering: Koraal.

The island’s newest hotspot is a rooftop bar with an infinity pool that’s quickly become a must-visit for craft cocktails, tapas and people-watching.

Koraal

The bar, which is located in the Coral Estate development, is set on the roof of the Karakter bar.

And the latter is a name with which you’re likely familiar – famous for its world-class beach bar in St. Maarten, which expanded to Curaçao in 2008.

And this stunning new outfit has luxury loungers and saltwater pool with 270-degree views of the sea.

Time for a cocktail.
