Sister island to Aruba and Bonaire, Curacao’s idyllic Dutch Caribbean shores attract many different types of visitors. From large groups on family vacations looking for a convenient beachside location and the little extra amenities that make it a bit easier for travelers with kids to solo or more adventurous travelers interested in independently exploring the island.

There are also four swimming pools and a section of beach with a seawall, creating a calm oasis to safely snorkel, play and swim.
