Day 1: Arrival in Curaçao
After arriving on the island, head to your vacation home, where the relaxed atmosphere hits you immediately. Drop off your bags, slip into your sandals, and unwind in the jacuzzi. Once you’re recharged, head to one of the cozy restaurants at Caracas Bay or Jan Thiel Beach for a delicious dinner. End your first day with a beautiful sunset on the beach!
Day 2: Exploring the Beaches
Curaçao is famous for its stunning beaches scattered across the island. Start your day at the well-known Mambo Beach or discover the quieter bays like Grote Knip, Cas Abao, and Playa Lagun. Everywhere you go, you can enjoy swimming, snorkeling, and soaking in the crystal-clear blue waters.
Day 3: Nature and Adventure
For nature lovers, Curaçao offers plenty to explore. Hike up Christoffel Mountain in the national park and enjoy breathtaking views over the island. Prefer something less adventurous? A visit to Hofi Mango is highly recommended. Wander through the park and nature, and after a short walk, reach a stunning viewpoint overlooking the mountains and sea. Or explore Shete Boka National Park, where the rugged coastline and powerful waves create spectacular sights. With a bit of luck, you might even spot flamingos at the salt pans of Jan Kok or Sint Willibrordus. If kayaking through the mangroves appeals to you, check out Curaçao Reef Mangrove Park.

Cultural experiences are everywhere on the island. Visit Museum Kurá Hulanda to learn more about Curaçao’s rich history. Explore one of the many historic plantations, such as Landhuis Chobolobo or Landhuis Savonet.
Stroll through the colorful streets of Willemstad, admire the iconic Handelskade, and taste local delicacies at the market. You’ll also find murals by local artists around the city, bringing the island’s vibrant character to life.
Day 5: Discover the Underwater World
Curaçao is a paradise for snorkelers and divers. Explore the underwater world at Playa Kalki, Tugboat Beach, or the famous Blue Room cave. Or book a diving excursion to discover colorful coral reefs and tropical fish. Even without diving experience, you can fully enjoy life beneath the waves.
Day 6: Relax and Enjoy
Today is all about ultimate relaxation. Stay at your vacation home, read a book in the hammock, or sip a refreshing drink on the terrace. Want to be active? Rent a kayak or paddleboard and explore the coastline from the water. End the day with a backyard barbecue or a dinner at a local seaside restaurant.
Day 7: Ending in Style
