What to Do on a Romantic Trip to Curacao?

Curacao is one of those places where it doesn’t matter whether you go during the day or night; there are always plenty of activities to keep you busy. This island is a great place for a romantic getaway because it offers everything from beautiful beaches to exciting adventures like scuba diving and snorkeling. If you want to make sure you don’t miss out on anything while you’re here, check out our list of the 10 best things for couples in Curacaos.

1. Visit the Blue Lagoon Beach

The Blue Lagoon Beach is known for being Curacao’s most famous attraction. Located on the north coast of the island, it features crystal clear water and a white sand beach. In addition to soaking up the sun and taking photos, visitors can enjoy a variety of water sports such as surfing and kayaking.

2. Take a Scenic Drive Around the Island

To see what else Curacao has to offer, take a drive around the island. You’ll pass through lush rainforests, along winding roads lined with stunning views of mountains and ocean vistas. Stop off wherever takes your fancy – you could even try your hand at golfing, hiking, or horseback riding.

3. Go Kayaking

Kayaking is another fun activity that you can enjoy on Curacao. There are multiple spots around the island where you can rent kayaks and explore the mangroves. Not only does kayaking give you access to some breathtaking scenery, but it’s also a great way to cool down in the summer heat.

4. Get a couples' massage

Spa treatments are becoming increasingly popular among couples looking to spend quality time together. In fact, according to a recent survey conducted by Massage Envy, nearly half of Americans say they'd rather go out for a "couple's massage" than see a movie alone. And it makes sense why. For many people, getting a massage is one of the best ways to unwind, de-stress, and reconnect with each other.

But what exactly does a couples' massage entail? Here are some things you might want to know about how to choose a couples' massage treatment.

A couple's spa and massage experience lets both partners enjoy a relaxing day together while getting massages and enjoying each other's company. At most spas on the island, you can find couples' packages that include everything from manicures and pedicures to facials and aromatherapy treatments.

You can choose from a wide variety of treatments, including couples' massages, body scrubs, foot reflexology, hot stone therapy, Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, Thai massage, shiatsu, sports massage, and many more. You can even add a couples' facial or make up application to complete your package.

5. Visit nice beaches, enjoy a romantic beach experience together

Enjoy a complete beach experience at Cas Abao Beach. This resort offers a wide range of facilities, including a restaurant, spa, and massage services. Guests can enjoy beautiful views of the ocean while relaxing in the sand.

The beach itself features white sand and is surrounded by lush vegetation. There are several large palm trees offering shade. A number of tropical fish live in the surrounding waters, so make sure you can snorkel to view sea turtles, fish, and possibly even stingrays. If you prefer something less active, there’s plenty of room to lounge around on the beach.

You can get some snacks, ice cream, premium liquors and refreshments at the bars that are located on the beach. 

6. Relax in an infinity pool

The best way to enjoy your vacation is by relaxing in the sun. If you want to relax while enjoying the view, then you should visit one of the infinity pools the island has available. These pools allow you to sit back and look out over the ocean as you sip on your favorite beverage. For example the Renaissance Hotel and Papagayo Hotel have one. Visit one of the several infinity pools and reconnect with your partner.

7. Go Diving and explore the coral reefs

PADI card - get your diving license on Curacao

If you choose to follow your PADI course then you will always receive a special diving card after the course. This card is really important because you will need it when you start diving at a certain dive center. If you want to get your PADI in Curaçao, you will of course get it after your course, this ensures that you can immediately start diving. It is possible to choose for different types of certification cards. 

8. Dive with Dolphins, even if you are not an experienced diver

In Curaçao you have the chance to interact with wild bottlenose dolphins. These intelligent creatures live in groups called pods, each pod having anywhere from 5 to 20 members. They are considered one of the most social animals on Earth.

If you want to take pictures of the dolphins, you will need to hold still while they come close to you. You will then have the opportunity to snap some great photos of the dolphins playing around you.

You will also be able to touch the dolphins and they will allow you to do so. However, you cannot pet them because they are wild animals and could hurt themselves accidentally.

If you are not an experienced diver you can still experience dive with dolphins by choosing the Lagoon Dolphin Dive Experience, offered by Ocean Encounters Curaçao. Since you are non-certified, you will start off with the theory and skills session of a PADI Discover Scuba Diving course that will teach you the basics of Scuba Diving. Then, instead of joining the other students for a Guided Shore Dive on the reef, you will finish the next day with a Guided Dive with bottlenose dolphins in their lagoon.

9. Romantic Dinner on the Beach

10. Sunset Boat Trip

Experiencing a beautiful caribbean sunset during a boat trip around Curaçao with your loved one is an unforgettable experience. You can depart from various locations around the island such as Mambo Beach Boulevard or the Spanish Waters.

Several companies offer sunset boat trips on shared boats. You could even book a private trip if you want to 

Of course there are many hotels on Curaçao catering couples on Curaçao. But why don't you stay at The Freedom Hotel and save some money. As a result you will have a larger budget to spend on the mentioned activities.
