Gay hotel curacao
Home / places venues / Gay hotel curacao
It’s the most popular of the ABC islands for LGBTQ+ visitors, and it’s no surprise that it’s often included as a stop on some of the biggest gay cruises in the world.
It’s worth noting that, as with many destinations, the experience of LGBTQ+ tourists and LGBTQ+ locals can be different. They are a proud member of IGLTA, offer same-sex ceremonies (hopefully weddings soon) and make sure that they get involved in pride – they also hosted our dinner on the beach on our first night, very romantic!
This is a beach-front hotel with two of its own private white sand beaches and crystal clear waters.
They offer the luxury of your own studio or apartment alongside some social elements of staying in a guest house.
There are six [THUIS]HAVEN studios and two off-site apartments, all of which include access to the colourful, artfully lit private garden, as well as the large (clothing-optional) pool with attached bar and lounge areas.

Places to Eat in Curaçao
Food is at the heart of any trip we go on and Curaçao did not disappoint. Curaçao Pride was beautiful.
Curaçao Pride is celebrated with different events across the week.
A culinary experience of local vegetation in a unique and illuminated way. For the less adventurous, they also offers burgers and sandwiches.
To finish off we enjoyed a Baileys ice cream sundae!
Karakter
Perhaps our favourite place for lunch, Karakter is a beach front restaurant offering a delicious selection of tapas and sandwiches.
Experiencing and tasting the unique local vegetation provides a direct connection to the unique environment. Other gay-owned and gay-operated businesses can be found throughout the island. These outlets are easily identified, as they require the standard European plug

Blue View Sunset Terrace
If you are looking for a casual lunch with a view this is the perfect lunch stop.
Choose from fresh fish, local specialties such as stewed goat meat, grilled iguana and a variety of seafood.
Spending the day at 8th Experience Spa Curaçao was the perfect end to the trip.
The spa offers all the usual treatments with the wow factor of the massage rooms looking out from atop a cliff, with the most beautiful ocean view.
Following your treatments there are lots of pools and hot tubs to relax in, or alternatively you can head down to the beautiful beach, complete with snorkelling areas and a diving platform.
Attend a Vogue Class or Vogue Ball
A recent addition to the island, last year they had their first Vogue Ball and have since been running Vogue classes that continue to grow!
The classes are run by Maikel-Angelo Stokkel known as Boots (IG: maikelangelo.s) who is here to bring ballroom to Curacao!
Normally hosted at Gaze Bar, follow @kasdimasriku to see what is coming up.
Seabob with the Bearded Butlers
The “SeaBob” is the latest and greatest technology that serves as your own personal water sled.
You can expect pool parties, boat trips, drag shows and of course a pride parade where all the local LGBTQ people and allies come together to celebrate and dance the night away. Other major cities include Launceston, Burnie and Devonport.
Tasmania is a popular destination for gay travelers and is renowned for its friendliness wherever you choose to stay, eat or visit.

Wonderful views.
Hotel Description
Stylish villa accommodation located a 5-minute walk from the private Coral Estate beach.
Unfortunately the answer is no.
One of the hotels (mentioned below) tried to encourage San Juan beach to be the gay beach in Curacao but that is a work in progress.
However, how does a gay beach come to be in the first place? Bus services are infrequent here, so study the timetable carefully and plan ahead.
Bicycle is also a popular way to see Tasmania.
Things to See & Do
Tasmania is great for explorers.
Also make sure to check out her handmade jewellery made from other parts of the fish too – Lisette aims to ensure that no part of the fish is wasted!

Gay Bars in Curaçao
Is there a gay bar in Curaçao? While Curaçao is generally safe, public opinion locally can be more mixed.
The capital city is Hobart. We spent 7 days in Curaçao and recommend you head to:
The Pen – Avila Beach Hotel
Our first meal was on the beach at The Pen and it was incredible – we highly recommend the tuna steak. That said, the island is making huge steps toward greater LGBTQ+ acceptance—more on that below.
Curaçao Gay Rights: Is Same-Sex Marriage Legal in Curaçao?
As of December 2022, there have been exciting developments in LGBTQ+ rights.
Although same-sex couples technically couldn’t marry at that time, the court ruled that excluding same-sex marriage violates the constitutional prohibition of discrimination, meaning same-sex couples should be able to marry.
This ruling would take effect as long as the Curaçaoan government didn’t appeal it.
UPDATE July 2024: The High Council has officially announced that same-sex marriage is now legal in both Aruba and Curaçao!
Things to do in Curaçao for Gay Travellers
Scuba Diving with Ocean Encounters Curaçao
This is an absolute must if you already dive, and if not, it’s a fantastic place to give it a try!
Curaçao has some spectacular diving spots, and this was number one on my list of things to do during my visit.
The coral reefs around the island are some of the healthiest and most bio-diverse in the entire Caribbean—Curaçao often ranks in the top ten places to dive (or snorkel) globally.
Expect to see an incredible array of marine life and vibrant colour, including sea turtles, rays, dolphins, sharks, eels, lionfish, and even species of fish exclusive to Curaçao.
Bonus points to Ocean Encounters for flying a huge Pride flag off the boat during Pride Week (and during my dive).
More at Ocean Encounters.
Otrobanda Walking Tour
When asked to describe Curaçao, the first thing that comes to mind is colour!
The island is famous for its brightly coloured houses and vibrant artwork, and one of the most beautiful areas to explore—either on your own or with a guide—is Otrobanda.
Otrobanda is one of the historically significant quarters of Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao.
