Curaçao

Curaçao is a Dutch Caribbean island with a UNESCO-listed capital in Willemstad, famous for its pastel-coloured Dutch colonial architecture on a natural harbour, and a culture that is a genuine blend of African, Dutch, Portuguese Jewish, and Latin Caribbean influences. The diving on the leeward coast is excellent and accessible directly from shore. It suits those who want a Caribbean island with real cultural substance alongside the beach.
