Build your personalized Curaçao adventure, step by step
Before you arrive: set the stage
- Share your preferences: beach lounging, snorkeling, spa time, family-friendly meals, or nightlife. The more specific you are, the better the plan.
- Request airport transfers at least 24 hours in advance.
- Note key arrival details: check-in from 3 PM to 10 PM (late arrival is possible—notify us in advance); check-out before 11 AM. Contactless check-out is available.
- Payment basics: The resort does not accept cash. Bring a valid card (American Express, Visa, Mastercard, or Maestro) and photo ID for check-in.
Day one: orient and exhale
- Ask the concierge for a quick orientation: how to reach the five outdoor salt-water pools, the flow of the salt-water lagoons around the Tropical Superior rooms, and the fastest paths to the three beaches.
- Get connected: free Wi‑Fi is available in rooms, public areas, and even on the beach—handy for maps and photo sharing.
- Planning around the rhythm: expect audible nightlife from beach-club parties on Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday. The concierge can align your evening plans with the music—or steer you toward quieter, earlier activities on those nights.
Beach days, elevated
Make the most of Kontiki’s shoreline:
- Enjoy complimentary beach beds and towels on the resort’s beaches.
- Alternate between the white sand and the five pools with sun loungers.
- Refuel at two beach bars and our beach-club restaurants nearby.
- Prefer shade and comfort? Explore beach cabanas along our beachfront area.
Pro tip: For families, the concierge can steer you to kids’ meals at Cabana Beach and Mood Beach and help time lunch between swims.
Ocean adventures: snorkeling and diving
Curaçao’s clear waters and vibrant reefs are a highlight. The concierge can assist with:
- Snorkeling: great for all levels; ask about calm times of day and spots suitable for easy entries.
- Diving: arrange guided experiences or certifications through trusted local partners.
Bring sun protection and a refillable bottle; you’ll spend hours in the water once you get a glimpse of the marine life.
Hike and explore the island
If you love nature and views, request guided hikes—guided options led by resort staff are available on request—and broaden your horizons with island tours. From breezy coastal paths to inland lookouts, the concierge helps match trails and tours to your energy level and timing.
Dine your way: breakfast to sunset
At The Kontiki, dining is easy—and delicious:
- Breakfast: Book an extensive breakfast at Cabana Beach as part of your reservation.
- Lunch: Both Cabana Beach and Mood Beach serve lunch.
- Dinner: Mood Beach is open for dinner.

Important notes:
- The resort does not offer an all-inclusive plan. Add breakfast to your stay; lunch and dinner are reserved separately at the beach clubs (booking ahead is smart during busier periods).
- The concierge can help time meals around activities and events, and secure reservations where possible.
Wellness and fitness: balance in paradise
- Kurpa Spa: Book massages, manicures, and pedicures for relaxation days.

- Expect a lively scene with weekly beach-club happenings—think Cabana Nights, brunches, live showcases, and sunset happy hours.
- If you’re celebrating, our events team can help you say “I do” beneath the palms or plan a memorable gathering.
