Curaçao
A Colorful Take on the Caribbean
Curaçao Overview
Everything about Curaçao is a riot of color, from Willemstad’s historic buildings and iconic floating market to the island's vibrant art scene and lively carnival schedule. The colors continue as you wade from white sand beaches into blue waters to discover the dazzling coral reefs that ring the island in garlands of orange, purple and yellow sponges and sea fans. Cooled by trade winds and sitting outside the hurricane belt, Curaçao is an ideal destination any time of year. The Colonial-era buildings, narrow cobblestone streets, and stone fortresses of the old town have made the United Nations' World Heritage list, and the island deserves a place on your “must visit” list.
