As part of the famous ABC Islands in the Caribbean, Curacao has maintained a low profile.
Not anymore. This is 2025.
Following a record-breaking 2024, the Dutch Caribbean island is ready to usher in a new year with continued efforts that thoughtfully expand and improve current offerings.
The most recent addition to the flight lineup is a new gateway, Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport (FLL), now offering four weekly, nonstop flights on Azul Airlines. Additionally, in November the island welcomed an increase from a weekly flight to daily service on Delta Air Lines from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL).
These additions round out already existing nonstop flights available from other major East Coast hubs such as JFK, EWR, CLT and MIA in addition to Toronto (YYZ) and Montreal (YUL) out of Canada.
“Marked by extraordinary growth and developments, 2024 was a record-breaking year for the island of Curacao. We’ve witnessed a remarkable increase in North American visitors, welcoming 213,360 travelers from the United States and Canada while expanding our global connectivity through effective and strategic partnerships with airlines like Azul and Delta. As the North American market steadily approaches the traditional strength of our European visitor base, we see this as a pivotal moment of opportunity,” said Rebecca Marval, Curaçao Tourist Board marketing director.
“Our excitement for 2025 extends far beyond numbers. On the island, we are not just building hotels, partners are creating immersive offerings that honor Curaçao’s natural beauty and rich heritage while staying true to the land and culture. We're not just inviting travelers, we're offering them a gateway to discover an authentic, unmatched and transformative Caribbean experience the Curacao way.”
Island hotels also continue to improve upon their world-class infrastructure, design and product offerings. Recent enhancements include the historic Avila Beach Hotel renovating their sought-after oceanfront rooms, Baoase Luxury Resort unveiling luxe re-designed accommodations, an expansion to Curacao Marriott Beach Resort’s Salty Iguana Ocean Grill, and property and retail expansions at Elements Hotel & Shops Curacao and Renaissance Wind Creek Curaçao Resort.
