General Information
Curaçao has been pinged back and forth between the Spanish, Dutch and British empires so many times it’s difficult to keep up. Now independent, it’s a polyglot culture with many influences.
Many Jewish refugees settled in Curaçao in the 16th-century. The locals, rather like the Dutch, speak many languages. The capital city of Willemstad was established in 1634. It’s distinguished by colourful Dutch colonial buildings. Curaçao is a major beach destination – there are 35, each with distinct characteristics. You’ll also find buzzing nightlife, including a great live music scene.
Curacao LGBTQ+ Rights
Curaçao is one of the Caribbean’s more LGBTQ+ welcoming destinations, offering a safe and inclusive environment for travelers. As part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the island benefits from progressive Dutch influences on LGBTQ+ rights. Same-sex marriage is recognized for couples who marry in the Netherlands, and Curaçao supports non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ individuals in various aspects of public life.
The island has cultivated a reputation as an LGBTQ+ friendly destination, with its tourism board explicitly welcoming LGBTQ+ travelers and working to promote inclusivity. Curaçao Pride, held annually in September, highlights this commitment with parades, parties, and cultural events that celebrate diversity and draw visitors from around the world.
Willemstad, the capital, features a selection of LGBTQ+-inclusive bars, cafes, and social spaces where locals and visitors alike can enjoy a friendly and open atmosphere. Many resorts and hotels on the island also cater to LGBTQ+ travelers, ensuring comfort and hospitality.
While Curaçao is progressive for the region, the Caribbean as a whole remains somewhat conservative, and public displays of affection may still be met with mixed reactions in certain areas. However, the island’s overall vibe is welcoming, making it a popular choice for LGBTQ+ travelers seeking a sunny and relaxing getaway with a focus on diversity and acceptance.
What Everyone Does In Curaçao
Explore the Willemstad, a UNESCO World Heritage City. It’s packed with vibrant coloured buildings and has an air of faded grandeur. Take a stroll down the historic Handelskade waterfront.
What Some People Do In Curaçao
Take a trip underground and visit the Hato Caves. You’ll see surreal limestone formations and man-made sculptures.
What No One Else Does In Curaçao
It’s an hour-and-a-half by boat to the small coral island of Klein Curaçao. Fringed by white sand beaches, it boasts an abandoned 19th-century lighthouse, several shipwrecks and it’s home to a lounge of whiptail lizards.
