Curacao is a small island in the southern Caribbean, where Dutch colonial charm meets turquoise waters and desert landscapes. Though Willemstad is the capital and cultural heart, each part of the island offers something different, from colourful architecture and street art downtown to quiet coves and rugged coastline farther out. Curacao has a laid-back vibe, perfect for working travellers balancing work with swims in hidden beaches, fresh seafood lunches and evenings strolling past pastel buildings as the sun sets over the sea.
