CURAÇAO in 2025 is Pure Paradise! 😲🇨🇼 Is it Better than Aruba? 🤔

We’re back in Curaçao for the first time since 2018! In this first video from the island, we explore a brand-new area for us—Jan Thiel. This part of Curaçao is known for its beautiful beaches, upscale resorts, and lively beach clubs, making it a top destination for visitors looking for both relaxation and entertainment.

🏨 Where We’re Staying: Bed & Bike Jan Thiel

🚗 Getting Around Curaçao: Thanks to our rental car from Bed & Bike Jan Thiel, we have the freedom to explore beyond the main tourist spots and see more of this beautiful island.

📍 Where We Go in This Video:

🏰 Fort Beekenburg – A historic 17th-century Dutch fort, once used to defend Curaçao from invaders.

🌊 Mambo Beach – One of the most popular beach spots on the island! We take a walk through the area and try a drink made with the iconic Blue Curaçao liqueur. 🍹

I can’t pinpoint exactly why…but I am feeling the VIBES with this place 🤩! I mean the beautiful waters, the vibrant yet relaxing colours everywhere…heck, even the bottle of Curaçao liqueur is gorgeous 😮. This destination is officially on my bucket list of places I want to travel to 🏖️.

My wife’s favourite Caribbean island. Looking forward to the upcoming videos. I could use a Brasa right about now lol🍻😀

This place looks amazing love the style of it looks so much like Bermuda but on another level cool looking Bars as well.

Curaçao has some of the most beautiful waters! Loved the drone shots in the beginning of video. Does seem like a tourist spot, but that’s not a bad thing especially if you just want to spend a week vacationing! Stunning great video guys! ~Cara ❤

I love the colors & personal hammocks

[daneelfg]

Every time I watch your videos I wanna get on a plane and leave to any of those beautiful beaches you guys always travel around . Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Curacao was my favorite Caribbean Island! Especially the northern part!

[mucarew]

traveled the island last year. Very few nice beaches. Bonaire is the best of the ABC islands by far.

Jan Thiel - "Yon teel"
Pietermaai - "Peeter m'eye"
The "shuffleboard" game is a local favorite. It's almost like a hangman board game. It's a lot of fun and hope you had a chance to play. Across the Fort there's a neighborhood in Jan Thiel where you get an amazing view/overlook of the island. From Van Der Tweel turn right. Stay straight and the road curves to the left. You will see the lookout on your right with Curaçao painted on the side. Absolutely breathtaking and even more beautiful at night.

definitely missing Curacao! Didn't know about that fort, was cool to see :D

[kaaylafitzgerald]

The Blues Festival over the Easter weekend is fantastic!

[francisinghels]

Best beaches for us are Porto Marie, Kokomo, Santa Cruz (eat at Captain Good Life) and Knip.

Great content, but you really should record in atleast 4k

That Rig is still there.?! They used to hold huge Oil Tanker Ships there years ago. They dismantled the man made Harbour there and did a huge deep clean of that area. It used to have oil slick there, and those beaches did not exist back than. The oil company had all that area closed up with guards, regular people could not get there. Now everyone could get to Fort Beekenburg, years ago you could not get there, everything was closed off by the oil company! Curaçao liqueur has an Orange taste {flavored with the dried peel of the bitter orange variety laraha} . 😊

That cocktail you had, if it tnwas the long island electric. It should be very very strong. It's basically a long island iced tea, but with hypnotic instead of focal cola. So basically pure alcohol. Some make it with Blue Curacao.

I've been to Curacao but I haven't been to Aruba yet. I loved Mambo beach, the architecture and the warmth of the people. There is very little rain, so there are no mosquitoes unlike many other islands. You need to wear sunscreen because I got my first ever sunburn on the island. I wish someone would develop a ferry that took you from one island to the next so you don't have to fly.

Ive traveled Aruba entirely and it is better... Id hate to be around that many people. The beaches in aruba are more secluded, cleaner and better... If you know the right ones to visit 😉

[summerqwerty]

It's a lovely island. I was there in 2017 with my mom. We stayed at Sunscape hotel. It is located next to Mambo beach ⛱️. It had a great beach and snorkeling. We also visited all the island. I will definitely go back. Great video ☀️🌴
