5 Best Reasons Canadians
Should Discover Curaçao and Dolphin Suites & Wellness


Trade winter for sunshine, discover a Caribbean island with a European twist, and stay somewhere that feels personal from the moment you arrive.

For Canadian travelers looking beyond the traditional Caribbean vacation, Curaçao offers something refreshingly different. Colorful Willemstad, more than 35 beaches, a diverse culinary scene, rich history, outdoor adventures and year-round warm weather all come together on one compact island.

A smaller stay with a more personal approach


If you prefer personality over a large-scale resort experience, Dolphin Suites & Wellness offers a different way to stay in Curaçao where you can experience peace, comfort, in an intimate home base that is steps away from the beach and close to some of the island’s most popular attractions.

With around 60 rooms, suites and apartments, the property has a beautiful relaxed atmosphere where personal attention comes naturally. Spend the morning by one of our three pools, enjoy the Mineral & Magnesium Pool, book a massage or wellness treatment, or simply slow down in our tropical surroundings.

It’s a place designed to feel comfortable and unhurried,  whether you’re visiting as a couple, family, solo traveller or travelling with accessibility needs.



Location makes a big difference when exploring Curaçao.


Dolphin Suites & Wellness is located in the Sea Aquarium area, just steps from Mambo Beach Boulevard and close to Curaçao Sea Aquarium.
Guests enjoy complimentary access to Mambo Beach and can use complimentary sunbeds at Madero Ocean Club, subject to availability.

Restaurants, shops, entertainment and the beach are therefore within walking distance, while downtown Willemstad is only a short drive away.

Discover all our facilities

Travel with wellbeing — and impact — in mind.

A Caribbean vacation can be about more than sunshine.

Wellness is part of the Dolphin Suites experience, with facilities and experiences designed to help guests recharge, including our Mineral & Magnesium Pool, spa treatments, yoga and peaceful outdoor spaces.

Our story is also closely connected to inclusive tourism. Dolphin Suites was originally created to accommodate families visiting Curaçao for dolphin-assisted therapy and has developed into one of the island’s most accessibility-focused accommodations.

For travelers increasingly conscious of how and where they travel, it offers a stay with a story and purpose behind it.

5 Best reasons that Curaçao deserves a place on your next Caribbean itinerary.

1. A surprisingly diverse culinary destination


Curaçao is much more than resort dining.


The island’s multicultural history is reflected in its food, with influences from the Caribbean, Latin America, the Netherlands and beyond. You can move from traditional local dishes at a casual snèk to waterfront dining, international restaurants and creative fine dining,  all during the same vacation.



Staying near Mambo Beach also gives you plenty of dining choices within walking distance, while a rental car opens up an even wider culinary side of the island.

2. One island, many cultures


Curaçao’s culture is meant to be experienced!


Throughout the year, the island comes alive with music, food, art and local celebrations.
From colourful Carnival parades to neighbourhood events and lively markets, there’s always something to discover beyond the beach.


What makes Curaçao so special is its unique blend of Caribbean, Dutch and Latin influences. You’ll hear Papiamentu, Dutch, English and Spanish spoken across the island, each reflecting a part of its rich cultural identity.


A visit to Willemstad brings this history to life through colourful streets, museums, markets and architecture shaped by centuries of influences. Its historic centre is recognised as a  UNESCO World Heritage Site.

3. Nature that changes as you explore


Curaçao isn't just palm trees and white-sand beaches.


Drive west and the landscape becomes increasingly rugged, with cactus-covered hills, dramatic coastline, hidden coves and some of the island’s most beautiful beaches. Christoffel National Park offers hiking and panoramic views, while Shete Boka National Park showcases the power of the Caribbean Sea along Curaçao's wild northern coast.


Above and below the water, the scenery continues to change — making Curaçao particularly rewarding for travelers who like to explore rather than stay in one place.

4. Curaçao is easy to explore independently


One of Curaçao's advantages is its manageable size.


You don't have to choose between a beach vacation and an island adventure,  you can easily combine both.


Renting a car gives you the freedom to discover beaches, restaurants, nature parks and neighborhoods at your own pace. Dolphin Suites can also assist with rental-car options, including adapted transportation and mobility solutions for guests who need them.


For families, couples and independent travelers, that flexibility makes it easy to build each day around what you actually feel like doing.

5. Your vacation can be as active
as you want it to be


One day can be spent doing absolutely nothing. The next can look completely different.


Snorkel or dive Curaçao's reefs, enjoy a dolphin swim experience, hike through nature, explore Willemstad on foot, discover street art in Otrobanda andScharloo, or
visit the historic
Mikvé Israel-Emanuel Synagogue,
take a boat trip or kayak along the coastline.

Not sure where to start? Our team is happy to offer personalised advice based on your interests, travel companions and accessibility needs.

Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly outing, an active adventure or a unique island experience, we’ll help you discover what suits you best.


And when you want to slow down again, return to Dolphin Suites & Wellness, for the pool, wellness facilities and a quieter end to the day.

Curaçao combines the ease of a Caribbean getaway with culture, nature, gastronomy and experiences worth leaving your sun-bed for.
