Curaçao is one of the most popular places in the Caribbean right now.

Arrivals are climbing, new airlift continues to expand, and the island has moved into a different category of demand over the last few years. A turning point came in 2022 with the arrival of Sandals Royal Curaçao, which helped reset how travelers look at the destination. Since then, the hotel landscape has filled in quickly.

What you find now is diversity. All-inclusive resorts, high-end boutique properties, dive-focused stays, and city hotels within walking distance of Willemstad’s streets. You can shape the trip around how you want to spend your time.

Here are 10 hotels — for 10 different Curaçao vacations.

For an All-Inclusive Escape: Sandals Royal Curaçao

This is the most complete resort experience on the island, set along the sparkling coastline with wide ocean views and multiple zones to move between. You’re here for a trip where everything is handled in one place — dining, drinks, activities, and beach time. A defining detail is the Dos Awa infinity pool, positioned at the edge of the water, along with Awa Seaside Butler Bungalows that include private pools and direct water access. You can stay on property the entire time and still have a full schedule, or you can get around in a Mini Cooper. The choice is yours, and nobody does it better than Sandals.
