Pay a visit to Tugboat Beach on Curaçao’s secluded east side. Named after a nearby tugboat that accidentally sank more than 30 years ago, the beach has become one of the island’s most popular diving and snorkeling sites. Grab your fins and mask and join schools of colorful, tropical fish as they swim through the little wreck, covered in bright coral, just 15 feet below the surface. Afterward, dry off and sip a cocktail at the seaside beach bar made of and decorated with recycled materials and coconuts.
Next, check out Curaçao’s thriving art scene during a walking tour of Otrobanda with Dushi Walks. Located in the island’s historic and cultural center, this beautiful neighborhood boasts postcard-worthy street art, hidden treasures, and notable buildings.
Cap off an exciting day with a sunset cruise on one of Maxie Sailing’s luxurious private yachts. Sail through bright turquoise waters, drink in hand, as you soak up epic coastline views. Later, listen to live music and try local flavors like ceviche and mahi mahi tacos at Bario Urban Street Food.
Go to Shete Boka National Park

Found on the west side of the island, Shete Boka National Park features 10 picturesque coves along its meandering limestone coastline. (Boka means “inlet” in the local language of Papiamentu). Start at Boka Pistol, where you can listen to the roar of large waves against an underground cave and watch them shoot up into the sky. After seeing the surf roll in, take the one-hour hike along the bluffs of Boka Pistol Trail for an enchanting ocean view, followed by the beach near Boka Brown.
Refresh after your hike at 8 the Experience Spa, which includes access to the sauna, aroma-infused steam room, saltwater pool, jacuzzis, and igloo room kept at 41 degrees Fahrenheit with ice for self-exfoliation. Book a massage or facial and unwind in one of the treatment rooms overlooking the sea. Wind up a memorable trip and toast to your adventures at MosaCaña, a Latin Caribbean fusion restaurant in the stylish Pietermaai neighborhood. Eclectic dishes, such as soft-shell crab bao buns and creative homemade cocktails, fill the menu.
