Condé Nast Readers' Choice 2025

Character and identity

Set on a 3,000-acre estate on Curaçao's southeast coast, this 351-room all-inclusive trades the usual Caribbean template for a desert-meets-tropical landscape of cacti, succulents, pastel pavilions, white archways and west-facing sunset views. The flagship pool, Dos Awa, cascades over an infinity edge, while Dutch grandmother bikes ferry guests between eleven restaurants, among them Gatsu Gatsu for beachside sushi, Pietra for breakfast and Neapolitan pizza, Kanaal for stroopwafels and wine, and three beachside food trucks. Red Lane Spa, a 24-hour gym, butler service in higher categories (with a complimentary Mini Cooper) and off-property dining credits round out a programme built around the island itself.

Who's it for

Best for:
Couples wanting an all-inclusive that actually engages with its destination. Strong pick for design-aware travellers who like the desert-Caribbean aesthetic, food-led guests who'll work through eleven outlets, and divers and snorkelers drawn to Curaçao's reef sites and Klein Curaçao day trips. The butler tiers reward those who want to explore Willemstad independently.

Should look elsewhere:
Families with young children, this is an adults-only Sandals. Anyone wanting a compact, walk-everywhere resort will find the sprawling estate and undulating paths a lot to navigate, and travellers who treat all-inclusives as stay-on-property cocoons will leave value on the table given how much of the experience points outward.

Bottom line

What sets this apart is how outward-facing it is for an all-inclusive: the Mini Cooper loan, the $250 island-dining credit for butler guests, the cooking classes with Helmi Smeulders, the Klein Curaçao yacht excursion. Book a Kurason Island Poolside Butler Bungalow if the budget allows, the private pool, soaking tub and direct-access shower justify the step up, and target shoulder months when Curaçao sits outside the hurricane belt's worst.
