Guests can look forward to two new signature suite categories – the Awa Seaside Butler Bungalows and Kurason Island Poolside Butler Bungalows – which come with Tranquility Soaking Tubs, private pools, and butler service.
Amenities include eight restaurants, three beachside gourmet food trucks and 13 bars as well as a two-level infinity pool with views of the sea and the mountains beyond.
A special ribbon-cutting ceremony was at the resort to celebrate the opening, attended by Honourable Gilmar Pisas, the Prime Minister of Curacao; Executive Chairman of Sandals Resorts International, Adam Stewart; CEO of Sandals Resorts International, Gebhard Rainer; and Resort General Manager, Kevin Clarke.

Adam Stewart, Executive Chairman of Sandals Resorts International said: “Today marks a dream decade in the making as Sandals Resorts officially becomes part of the story of Curaçao.
“It’s a great honour to now share this incredible destination with the world with its eclectic melting pot of culture, vibrance and stunning beauty.
“Today is also bittersweet as I wish my father and our late founder, Gordon “Butch” Stewart, could have been here to see this dream of our family’s become a reality.”
The Hon. Gilmar Pisas said: “The arrival of Sandals Royal Curaçao has a great impact in the continued development of our touristic product, giving us a great competitive advantage in our region.
“The most beautiful part of this process is our shared vision and the impact on our local people and economy long before the resort even opened its doors.
“The government of Curaçao is very pleased to welcome Sandals Royal Curaçao and together we look forward to providing travellers from around the world with great experiences that will have them extending their stays and coming back for years to come.”
