Imagine this: you open your laptop in the morning while the Caribbean sun rises, enjoy a cappuccino from the bakery around the corner, finish your video calls with reliable Wi-Fi, and by sunset, you’re snorkeling in crystal-clear waters or sipping a cocktail by the pool. 

For digital nomads, expats, and anyone seeking a longer stay, Curaçao is more than just a vacation spot; it acts as a perfect home base. In this blog, we’ll outline the main reasons Curaçao is considered one of the hottest up-and-coming destinations for long stays and why Coral Estate Rentals gives you the ideal blend of comfort, convenience, and Caribbean charm to make your stay seamless. 

Curaçao: A hidden gem that’s perfect for long-stay travelers

Curaçao has quickly become a favorite destination for remote workers and long-stay guests, thanks to its balance of beauty and practicality. Besides the year-round sunshine and tropical weather, Curaçao also offers other benefits that are hard to ignore. This gorgeous island is located outside the hurricane belt, has a stable infrastructure and internet connection, and is accessible via direct flights from Europe, the US, and Latin America. With a welcoming community of expats and digital nomads, and remote working and living programs such as @Home, it has become increasingly easier to choose Curaçao as a vacation destination, as well as a long-term stay for extended periods. Being in the Atlantic Standard Timezone, which in the winter is only a one-hour difference from EST, makes it perfect for entrepreneurs working with clients or vendors on Fiverr, or working remotely with companies in the US. 

Coral Estate: A resort that feels like home

Finding a private, safe, convenient, and stunning place to stay on the island can be challenging, especially if you’re searching from abroad. At Coral Estate, your long-stay apartment isn’t just a place to sleep, it’s part of a vibrant, secure resort community that offers so much more than that. Minutes from your apartment, you’ll find:

• A restaurant on the beach, with relaxing sounds of the waves and delicious food
• A rooftop bar serving gorgeous views and craft cocktails
• A bakery and pizzeria for quick bites or indulgent treats
• A dive school and water sports facilities for ocean lovers
• Boutique shops and wellness services
• 24/7 gated security for complete peace of mind

With these amenities easily accessible, a long stay on Coral Estate makes work-life balance easy and accessible. 

Work & play-ready apartments

Nestled in the quiet and serene surroundings that Coral Estate has to offer, you’ll find Cape Marie: 3 condominium buildings that include luxury vacation apartments, surrounded by lush tropical gardens, and offering direct access to two chic shared pools. Enjoy breathtaking and sweeping views of the ocean while you enjoy rentals that are thoughtfully designed for both comfort and productivity. 

With a reliable and strong Wi-Fi connection and work-friendly spaces throughout, you can simply get in, plug in, and play. With beautifully decorated indoor or outdoor spaces to work, host guests, or simply relax in between tasks and online meetings, you will easily find that Cape Marie apartments will quickly become your home away from home. 

Feel like switching it up and getting a change of scenery? Pack your laptop and head to Bread & More, the bakery on Coral Estate, where you can enjoy coffee, breakfast, and treats. Or stay closer to home and enjoy one of the shared covered terraces right at Cape Marie. Our personal assistant is readily available to help you stock your fridge with snacks and treats you can enjoy poolside while you finish your workday. After you close your laptop, transition seamlessly to after-work mode by taking a nice dip in the pool, or heading to Karakter Beach for a dip in the salty ocean. Whatever your preference, Cape Marie is perfectly situated to ensure you enjoy everything that Coral Estate has to offer. 

Luxury & comfort at its best

Our luxury apartments at Cape Marie offer comfort and luxury, including air-conditioned living and workspaces to ensure you’re cool, and air-conditioned bedrooms for restful nights. A fully equipped kitchen provides you with everything you need for home-cooked meals during longer stays, and a washing machine ensures you can conveniently do your laundry during your stay. But the most exclusive feature of staying at Cape Marie is access to our personal assistant. 

We’ll arrange a personal transfer from the airport to your accommodation, so you don’t have to worry about how to get to your home away from home. Or, imagine arriving at your condo and having your favorite drinks already stocked in the fridge for your enjoyment. Want to make plans for the weekend, or after work, but don’t know where to start? Our personal assistant is happy to book your diving course, your spa treatment, make reservations at a local restaurant, or arrange a tour of the island. Working remotely doesn’t have to be a compromise; you can enjoy your working hours as well as your free hours equally when staying at Cape Marie.

Life after work: the Curaçao experience

After you shut off for the day, it’s time to enjoy paradise to its fullest. The activities to enjoy on the island are endless:

• Snorkel or dive right off the resort’s coast
• Go for a hike and explore the birds, animals, and natural beauty on Coral Estate
• Relax under a shaded palapa at one of the beaches nearby like Porto Marie, Daaibooi, or Cas Abou
• Explore Curaçao’s vibrant culture and architecture in colorful Willemstad, and visit unique spots like Kura Hulanda Village, Marshe Bieu, and Brion Plein
• Go off-road on an ATV adventure and get to know the wild side of Curaçao
• Taste your way through Willemstad; start by visiting the authentic restaurant located at Pietermaai District, or
• Watch breathtaking sunsets with a drink in hand
• And much, much more.

Staying in Curaçao for a longer period means you can explore at your own pace while enjoying a home base that is just as luxurious and convenient as being on vacation. It’s the best of both worlds. So, pack your laptop, bring your suitcase, and we’ll take care of the rest.
