Secluded beach cove in Curaçao, a hidden gem.

Explore the Real Curaçao

While Curaçao's popular attractions are fantastic, there's a whole other side to the island waiting to be discovered. Venture off the beaten path to find serene beaches, authentic local food, and captivating cultural experiences. Hiring a personal driver through DushiGo is a great way to uncover these hidden gems.

Our Favorite Hidden Gems

  • Playa Lagun: A small, picturesque cove perfect for snorkeling and spotting turtles. Less crowded than some larger beaches.
  • Watamula Hole: A stunning natural phenomenon on the rugged northern coast where waves crash into a cavern, creating a "breathing" hole. Access requires a bit of a walk, but it's worth it.
  • Marshe Bieu (Old Market), Willemstad: For an authentic taste of Krioyo (local) cuisine, head to this bustling food market where local cooks serve up hearty traditional dishes at communal tables.
  • Landhuis Chobolobo Distillery Tour: While Blue Curaçao Liqueur is famous, a tour of this historic distillery offers more than just a tasting – it's a glimpse into the island's history.
  • Boka Ascension: A beautiful bay where you can often see turtles feeding, especially in the late afternoon. It's a protected area, so admire them from a respectful distance.

Tips for Discovering Hidden Spots

  • Talk to locals! They are often the best source of information.
  • Rent a car or hire a personal driver via DushiGo to explore more freely.
  • Be respectful of nature and private property.
  • Bring water and sun protection, as some spots might be remote.
