Highlights of Curacao and why this colorful, clean Caribbean island is now our favorite

I looked down at the tugboat nestled on the bottom of the Caribbean, marveling that I’d never seen so many fish while snorkeling. It was one of the highlights of my first visit to Curacao.

Others included riding an electric scooter through the narrow mural-filled streets, strolling through a historic mango plantation, experiencing the nighttime energy of Punta Vibes, indulging in tastes of the island on outdoor patios and spending time at the spa and pool at 8 Experience Curacao.

I stayed at two hotels, a small one with a minimalist boho vibe and a large Dutch Caribbean-style beach resort.

Delta has weekly non-stop flights to Curacao from Atlanta.
