Celebrating its second anniversary, Sandals Royal Curacao has enjoyed many achievements since opening its doors to eager visitors looking to explore the all-inclusive offerings of the brand’s first resort on the charming, culture-rich shores of the Dutch Caribbean.

Voted Curacao’s Leading All-Inclusive Resort for two consecutive years by World Travel Awards, the hotel has been a magnet for visitors. This has contributed to an increase in tourism arrivals, spurring economic growth, creating job opportunities and stimulating local businesses. 

In response to the growing demand and to enhance the guest experience, Sandals Royal Curaçao added to its five-star accommodations in the past year with the grand opening of their all new Rondoval Butler Villas. 

Dubbed The Sandals Effect by Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of Sandals Resort’s International, Sandals has had remarkable impact in Curacao, including an increase of 18% in visitor stop overs the week the resort opened. There has also been an increased demand on the local taxi service, local beer supplies increased productivity by 300% to supply Sandals, excursion operators had to increase their offerings, local restaurants reopened their doors, and the quiet surrounding community of Santa Barbara came alive with increased economic activity.

Staying true to its commitment to making a positive impact in Curacao communities through the Sandals Foundation, the resort has engaged in numerous successful outreach activities, focusing on education, environmental sustainability, community development and sports, seeing notable success in the Future Goals program. The Future Goals program, in partnership with local entity Limpi Recycling is a one-of-a-kind initiative that builds on youngsters’ love of the game of football while teaching life skills and empowering participants to take care of their environment by making soccer goals from fishing nets and plastic waste.
