Curaçao — Your Gateway to the Caribbean and Top Travel Destinations

Beyond the thriving street art, beautiful nature (including over 35 beaches!), world-famous blue-colored eponymous liqueur, and the dushi lifestyle it’s known for, Curaçao also connects you to the rest of the Caribbean and other top travel destinations.

Unmatched Connectivity

Curaçao’s enviable location in the southern Caribbean makes it easy to travel to nearby destinations. The island boasts an extensive array of direct flight connections, especially if you’re looking to explore the rest of the region.

From the Curaçao International Airport (aka Hato Airport), you can hop on a plane and find yourself basking in the beauty of Aruba, diving in the crystal-clear waters of Bonaire, or dancing to the lively rhythms of the Dominican Republic. The island’s impressive connectivity extends well beyond the Caribbean as well, as there are direct flights to cities like Panama City, Bogotá, Miami, and even New York.

Imagine waking up in your luxurious Curaçao villa and deciding that today is the perfect day for a quick getaway. With direct flights from Hato Airport to neighboring Caribbean islands, you can go on trips to:
