The last of the eye-catching “ABC” islands, Curacao is the beautiful escape you’ve been looking for. Thanks to its position outside of the Caribbean’s hurricane zone, Curacao is a year-round destination.
Blue skies and warm temperatures will have you making a beeline to beachfront pools and turquoise seas. The latter, is home to colorful reefs. Visitors are sure to fall in love with the pretty pastel buildings in Willemstad, Curacao’s capital city, and also with the island’s lovely white sand beaches.
Just off Venezuela’s northern coast, there are only a few all-inclusive resorts in Curacao. But each provides opulent luxury, views that will have the camera working overtime and compared to other Caribbean islands, it won’t blow a hole in your wallet.
5. Zoetry Curacao Resort

Each day, you’ll have the choice of three restaurants, each using local produce to create its salivating Caribbean and international cuisines. Food and drink are just one part of their offering, however. The resort provides two pools, a tennis court, spa and fitness facilities along with access to a gorgeous private beach.
4. Baoase Luxury Resort
BaoaseA stay at Baoase Luxury Resort will sweep you up and transport you from the edge of the Caribbean Sea to the shores of Indonesia. Baoase is a luxurious boutique hotel with less than two dozen rooms. Each exudes fine attention to detail, intimate decor, and some, your own private pool.
The luxury stay is tucked away from the happening spots in Curacao. Its elegance and peaceful nature is an immediate highlight for guests. Without the larger crowds of other resorts around the island, you can kick back and enjoy the fine dining restaurant, the pool encased in lush foliage and tranquil beach.
The latter, however, is man made, keeping Baoase Luxury Resort from the top spots in our guide.
3. Sunscape Curacao Resort
Spread along an expansive, protected beach, Sunscape Curacao Resort is teeming with action, atmosphere and, if you seek it, plenty of relaxation. It’s an all-inclusive resort designed for families and group travelers, offering you multiple pools, five restaurants and ample activities.
For the kids, there’s a rock climbing wall, kayaks for exploring the nearby waters and snorkels to go even deeper. Adults can bid adieu to the kiddies as they embark on their adventures and make the most of the trio of bars, spa treatments and fitness center. Those without the young ones can take advantage of the resort’s proximity to local nightlife and entertainment.
There are a few reasons to leave, however, thanks to the amenities and postcard-worthy views.
2. Renaissance Curacao Resort
A brief five-minute walk from Curacao’s historic district in Willemstad, the Renaissance Curacao Resort offers glamorous luxury at an affordable price. The whole family will love the infinity pools, one of which faces out to the Caribbean Sea with saltwater and a sandy bottom.
The Renaissance is a large resort that seems to grow as you explore. Beyond the infinity pools are two restaurants, a waterfront bar that is the place to be when the sun goes down along with a glitzy casino. The extensive space adds a twist to your island experience, bringing plenty of fun, and risk, to the evening.
When the morning arrives, you can head to historic Rif Fort, which has been transformed into an upscale mall.
1. Curacao Marriott Beach Resort
On the island’s southwestern coast, the Curacao Marriott Beach Resort undertook a thorough renovation in 2019. Now, with over 300 rooms, a stunning, powdery beachfront, relaxing pools and enticing bars, it’s Curacao’s top all-inclusive.
The resort combines Caribbean luxury with some old-world charm. Its architecture is eye-catching and the tile work around each pool is of Grecian design. From the Serenity Pool, the resort’s adults-only pool, you can swim up to the bar. Later, jump out and pamper yourself with a massage at the spa house. The real memories, however, are made 20 feet offshore, where guests have access to a private reef.
Like the Renaissance, the Marriott Beach Resort has its own casino and is a short trip to Willemstad and the famous Queen Emma Bridge.
