STEP 1: Choose your destination: why Curaçao?

Dreaming of the ultimate romantic escape, thinking about popping THE question or planning that once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon? When you choose Curaçao as your destination, whether for a 4-day mini-break or an extended stay, you’ll won’t help but fall in love all over again.

This Dutch Caribbean gem blends turquoise waters, colorful architecture, and laid-back island charm with a touch of adventure and luxury. With numerous ways to connect, explore, and unwind, Curaçao is the ideal setting for couples seeking to create unforgettable memories.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through 7 steps to plan your dream romantic getaway in Curaçao, from where to stay to how to savor every last sunset.

STEP 2: Choose the duration of your stay

A long stay is not always possible, but luckily, Curaçao caters well to both short and long stays. Whether you’re planning a quick romantic getaway (hint-hint: that unforgettable proposal ;)) or a longer honeymoon escape, here’s the best way to plan your activities and time to maximize your stay:

4–5 days: This quick in-and-out is perfect for relaxing, recharging, and enjoying a mix of beach time and romantic experiences on the island.

7–10 days: This gives you more time to indulge in a bit of adventure. Explore national parks like Hofi Mango, go snorkeling in Banda Bou, and discover hidden trails, nature walks, coves, and beaches right at Coral Estate. 

2+ weeks: This gives you the ultimate opportunity to fully immerse yourself. Enjoy slow mornings, local dining, and sunsets that never get old.

Have even more time on your hands and want to explore the island to its fullest? If you’re working remotely, Curaçao’s growing popularity with digital nomads makes it easy to extend your stay and work from paradise.

STEP 3: Choose your accommodation

Where you stay in Curaçao can define your entire experience. Coral Estate Rentals is located on the west side of the island, where the beauty of nature is untouched, the most beautiful beaches in the world are close, and your vacation truly feels like a retreat.

We offer luxury villas with private pool, ocean views, and even private beach access. Additionally, we offer ocean-view apartments perfectly furnished for long- and short-term renting. Wake up to the sound of birds chirping and waves crashing, enjoy your private pool, and watch the sun dip into the sea from your terrace. Sounds perfect, right? What about a private couple's massage with the sound of the waves crashing on the shore as your background music, right under the veranda of your private oceanfront villa? The most romantic villas feature everything you need, no matter your length of stay.

Whether you prefer a cozy one-bedroom apartment or a spacious villa with total privacy, you’ll find the perfect setting to reconnect with your special someone at Coral Estates Rentals.

STEP 4: Choose your dining experiences

They say love goes through the stomach, so we say: No romantic getaway is complete without great food. Curaçao’s dining scene offers everything from intimate beachfront dinners to local Caribbean flavors. At Coral Estate, you can enjoy some of the best dining options on the island without leaving the resort, just minutes away from your apartment or villa. Enjoy fresh pastries at the bakery, pizza, and cocktails at the rooftop bar, or a candlelit dinner at Karakter Beach Lounge Restaurant.

Prefer a night in? For the cooking enthusiast, we offer villas with state-of-the-art kitchens, including everything you need to make the best dinner right from your villa. If you want to relax and experience something extra special, our team can easily arrange a private chef for you. Enjoy a romantic private dinner or picnic on your own private beach, or overlooking the ocean while the sun sets, prepared especially just for the two of you. Heading into town or further West for breakfast, lunch, or dinner? We’ll be happy to recommend some of our favorite spots based on your preferences.

STEP 5: Choose your activities

Romance in Curaçao isn’t just about sunsets and cocktails (though there’s plenty of that!). When surrounded by so much beauty and adventure, it’s easy to create the perfect setting to reconnect or make new memories. Planning an engagement and want a guaranteed ‘yes’? Then choose Curaçao as your go-to romantic destination, and she’ll definitely be yours!

If you’re looking for inspiration, look no further. Nothing brings you closer than trying something new together:

• Go diving or snorkeling in the crystal-clear waters with Coral Divers
• Take a boat trip to Klein Curaçao, a deserted island paradise.
• Explore Willemstad and its colorful streets hand in hand.
• Book a couple's massage at your private villa or a spa day at 8 the Experience.
• Explore the wild side of Curaçao on buggies or RTVs.
• Book an island tour and explore all the hidden gems Curaçao has to offer.
• Watch the sunset from your terrace with a glass of wine.
• Enjoy a private picnic on your own private beach at the villa.
• The daytime can mean sleeping in or waking up early to catch the sunrise on the highest peak of the island, Christoffelberg.

STEP 6: Prep for your getaway

Once you’ve booked your tickets, accommodation, add-ons, and made reservations for dining and activities, it’s time to count down, pack, and prep. Make your trip seamless with a little planning:

• Check your travel documents and book a transfer to Coral Estate in advance. Our team will be happy to pick you up at the airport. Just let us know your travel information.
• Pack light but bring essentials: sunscreen, light clothing, swimwear, and evening outfits.
• Don’t forget your camera or phone charger! Curaçao’s colors and sunsets are made for photos.
• Let your accommodation know if you’re celebrating something special (we love helping create romantic surprises!). Whether it’s a private chef, a late check-out, or a fully stocked fridge on arrival, just let us know, and we’ll make it happen.
• If you’re planning to rent a car to explore the island, our team will happily provide you with options for a rental. 

STEP 7: Savor every moment

Once you arrive, it’s time to simply enjoy! Let go of your to-do list back home and soak it all in. Wake up slowly. Watch the waves. Share meals, laughter, and quiet moments. Whether it’s your first trip together to Curaçao, your honeymoon or your 20th anniversary, this colorful island has a way of making every moment feel timeless. It will be hard to leave, but our arms are always open to welcome you right back! ;)
