The five most beautiful beaches in the West of Curaçao according to B&B Hibiscus Beach House Curaçao

Curaçao has at least 37 beautiful beaches. If you are in Curaçao for a week or ten days, it is almost impossible to visit every beach in Curaçao. Therefore, Hibiscus Beach House makes it easy for you! In this blog you can read which beaches are the most fun to visit according to Hibiscus Beach House Curaçao!

1. Playa Porto Mari
Playa Porto Mari is our favorite beach. The beach is very beautiful because of the white sand and clear, blue water. On the beach is a company that offers diving facilities, so it is possible to dive here. Don't have a diving license? You can also snorkel at this beach! At the beach there is a restaurant and a bar. It is very nice to have a drink or something to eat. We really recommend this beach to visit!

2. Playa Cas Abao
The wide, spacious beach Cas Abao is definitely worth a visit! Most bays on Curaçao are situated between two rocks, making the beach sometimes a bit small. At Cas Abao this is not the case! The beach is very spacious. According to National Geographic, Cas Abao is the fourth most beautiful beach in the world. The beach is the perfect place for snorkeling or diving. At the beach is a restaurant that is open every day.

3. Grote Knip
The Grote Knip is a very popular beach for both tourists and locals. We understand why this is the case! The beach is a wide beach with white sand and clear blue water. Grote Knip is one of the few beaches where you do not have to pay an entrance fee. This makes it often very busy, so to get a spot on the beach you have to be there on time! Unfortunately the beach has no restaurant. There is a snack bar where you can buy some snacks.

4. Playa Lagun
Playa Lagun is a beautiful small fishing beach on Curaçao. The beach is situated between two rocks. The rocks provide an impressive underwater life. You can snorkel and dive here! Playa Lagun is therefore definitely in our top five most beautiful beaches in the west of Curaçao. On the rocks is a restaurant. You can eat here and have a drink. From the restaurant you have a nice view of the beautiful bay and the Caribbean Sea.

5. Playa Kalki
Playa Kalki is the westernmost beach in Curaçao. It is in our opinion one of the most picturesque beaches of Curaçao. Again, the water is clear blue. Because of the rocks you can do beautiful diving and snorkeling. At the resort of Kura Hulanda you can eat something or have a drink. At this beach there is no restaurant, but you can buy some food at the snack bar. The beach is slightly less easy to reach than the others. From the parking lot you first have to go down a steep staircase.

When you stay with us we just like to share all kinds of information about the beautiful island. We will give you all kinds of tips and share our experiences!

All about Willemstad

Willemstad is the capital of Curaçao and takes up a quarter of the island. In Willemstad live about 140,000 residents. If you're on Curaçao, it's worth a visit to the center of this colorful city! In this blog we tell you the best activities to do in Willemstad.

Restaurants in Willemstad

In Willemstad you can find many restaurants. The restaurants serve both local food and international food. Many restaurants are in Pietermaai, but there are also plenty of nice restaurants to find in Otrobanda or Punda!

Street Art

In the districts Scharloo, Punda and Otrobanda you will find the most beautiful Street Art of Curaçao. The houses and other buildings are beautifully painted by various artists. We recommend walking along the different murals. Want a little more background information about all the art? Then book a dushiwalk! The guide takes you to beautiful places in the neighborhoods and tells all kinds of interesting information about the artworks.

Queen Emma Bridge and the Handelskade

One of the most popular attractions of Curaçao is the Queen Emma Bridge. The Queen Emma Bridge is also called the pontoon bridge. It is the only floating wooden swing bridge in the world, which makes this bridge so unique!

The bridge connects the districts of Punda and Otrobanda with each other. When you walk on the Pontjesbrug you feel the movement and the waves of the water. From the Pontjesbrug you have a beautiful view of the Handelskade of Punda, the Brionplein of Otrobanda and the Riffort and Fort Amsterdam.

When a ship leaves or enters the harbor, the bells ring. This means that the bridge will open. This can take ten minutes, but it can also take 45 minutes. Fortunately, the ferry takes people from Punda to Otrobanda and vice versa for free.

When it begins to get dusk in Willemstad, the colored lights on the bridge turn on. The illuminated arches on the bridge make up 270 meters of LED strips. The arches constantly change color. A party to watch!

Stores In Punda you can find many stores where you can buy brand name clothing, but there are also local stores with local clothing. If you walk through the small streets of Punda, you will find some nice boutiques. There is something for everyone!

Also, at the Renaissance Mall and Rif Fort you can store well. In these places are many stores that sell brand clothing. The clothing is slightly more expensive, but the quality is very good!

Kura Hulanda Museum

The Kura Hulanda Museum is located at the port of Willemstad in Otrobanda. This is close to the center of Willemstad. The museum stands on the exact spot where Dutch entrepreneurs traded and shipped enslaved Africans along with other commercial goods.

The museum documents the history of slavery, West African empires, pre-Columbian gold and Antillean art. Very interesting to visit as far as we are concerned!
