Just a few years ago, Curaçao was barely on the radar of travelers looking to pay one price for accommodations, dining, drinks, and activities, but now there are multiple all-inclusive resorts to choose from on this windswept Dutch Caribbean island. New brands have entered the Dutch Caribbean destination, including Hilton and Sandals, among others, and it’s helped turn the island into one of the sizzling hotspots in the hemisphere.
And it’s all helped to turn Curacao into arguably the hottest all-inclusive destination in the whole Caribbean right now.
Here’s how to stay all-inclusive in Curacao, according to our expert editors, based on on-the-ground travel.
This is the resort that changed everything. Sandals doesn’t arrive quietly — and their Curaçao debut proved that. The resort sits on a massive 3,000-acre estate on Spanish Water Bay, framed by limestone cliffs, private coves, and a wide sweep of beach. This is all-inclusive at its most refined: 350 rooms, 12 dining options (including food trucks and a floating restaurant), scuba diving, sailing, tennis, pickleball, and golf — all included. But what sets it apart is the design. Sandals Curaçao feels connected to the land — with bikes for exploring, curated island tours, and an aesthetic that reflects the raw beauty of the island. The rooms are elegant, the pools cinematic, and the sunsets unforgettable. For couples looking for a full-immersion, adults-only escape, this is the flagship.
The Zoëtry Curaçao is a transformational addition to the island’s hospitality scene, taking over the former Floris Suite Hotel and turning it into a quiet, wellness-focused sanctuary. You don’t come here for the crowds or the cocktails-on-repeat experience. You come to slow down. To reset. To hear the wind through the palm fronds and not much else. There are just 72 suites, hidden away in a lush enclave near Piscadera Bay, with every detail focused on tranquility — from the in-room aromatherapy to the slow cuisine. And you’re never far from the ocean: the beach club and infinity pool at Dreams are just a quick shuttle away. This is where Curaçao whispers, not shouts — and that’s exactly the point.
This is the hidden side of Dreams Curaçao — and one of the best-kept secrets on the island. Il Mare is a private enclave of upscale, beachfront modular bungalows, set apart from the main resort. Each one opens right onto the sand, with uninterrupted views of Piscadera Bay and a sense of calm you won’t find anywhere else on property. These aren’t just upgraded rooms — they’re a full escape within the escape. Think elevated design, oversized terraces, custom touches, and a kind of privacy that makes it feel like your own private villa. But step outside and the entire resort is still yours: the pools, the spa, the restaurants, the beach club. Il Mare is where Dreams gets serious about luxury — for travelers who want the all-inclusive ease but crave something more curated, more intimate, more exclusive
There’s a natural rhythm to this place. Dreams Curaçao has the feel of a classic Caribbean resort — big, breezy, social — but with the sleek polish of AMResorts’ signature all-inclusive experience. The 197 rooms and suites wrap around lush gardens and calm pools, all tucked into a beautiful corner of Piscadera Bay. And the options here are vast: three swimming pools, a Pevonia spa, a full slate of sports and non-motorized water activities, a vibrant kids club, and nightly entertainment that brings real energy. For those who want more exclusivity, the Preferred Club adds private check-in, upgraded amenities, and lounge access. It’s the kind of place where families and couples both feel at home — where your hardest choice is whether to snorkel or take a nap in the shade.
This is the island’s original all-inclusive crowd-pleaser. It’s big, colorful, and brimming with energy — perfect for families, groups, and anyone looking to do a lot without spending a lot. The beachfront location on Mambo Beach is unbeatable, just steps from the Curaçao Sea Aquarium and walking distance to bars, shopping, and snorkeling spots. Inside, the vibe is non-stop: themed buffets, à la carte dining, live music, kid-friendly activities, beach games, and a casino that comes alive after dark. The Explorer’s Club gives parents a break while the kids stay entertained, and the resort’s commitment to value means you can pack your days without opening your wallet. Sunscape doesn’t pretend to be exclusive — it just delivers a huge vacation experience at an approachable price point.
This resort is bold — in size, in design, and in its embrace of fun. Hilton’s Curio Collection entry into Curaçao sits just minutes from downtown Willemstad, but it feels like its own world. It’s one of the only resorts in the region where a full-blown waterpark is part of the experience — complete with high-speed slides, splash zones, and lazy rivers. The rooms are sleek and modern, with balconies overlooking the coast or the mangrove forests. Dining is a huge part of the appeal here: nine restaurants, including a beachside grill, a sushi bar, and a pizzeria. There’s even a cigar and rum lounge for those who want a taste of the good life — though you’ll pay extra for that. Families love it. Couples love it. It’s Curaçao reimagined as a high-energy resort playground.
If the main resort is where the energy lives, The Rif is where you go to catch your breath. This is the upscale, boutique wing of the Corendon complex — and it feels like an entirely different resort. The design is modern-Caribbean chic, with cool tones, rainfall showers, and a sense of quiet that contrasts with the buzz just beyond. But here’s the secret: you still get access to everything. The Aqua Park, the dining, the pools, the beachfront — it’s all yours. The Rif gives you the best of both worlds: the privacy and polish of a luxury boutique with all the perks and access of a sprawling all-inclusive. It’s ideal for couples, solo travelers, or anyone who wants the party close — but not too close.
Kunuku is all about water and joy — and it makes no apologies for going all-in on both. Set inland, about 10 minutes from the beach, this resort is less about ocean views and more about nonstop family fun. There are seven swimming pools, all with colorful waterslides, splash zones, and play features. The vibe is whimsical, Caribbean-casual, and unapologetically fun. The rooms are spacious and simple, many with kitchenettes, perfect for larger families or longer stays. Meals are buffet-style and generous, with options that cater to every age group. This is Wyndham’s first Trademark Collection resort in the Caribbean — and while it’s not a luxury stay, it’s a joyful one. If your vacation goals include shrieking kids, giant slides, and poolside daiquiris — you’ll be right at home.
