SANDALS ROYAL CURAÇAO , CURAÇAO ( OPEN NOW )
Tailor-made for foodies , the brand-new Sandals Royal Curaçao is reinventing the traditional all-inclusive experience . The resort expanded its dining options to feature eight off-site partner restaurants in the brand ’ s first-ever Island Inclusive program . Off-site dining options include the following :
• Kome , a modern eatery with wood-fired meats
• BKLYN , a chic gastro-bar with shareable plates
• Soi95 , a contemporary Asian spot with mixology experiences
• MosaCaña Bar & Kitchen , an international fusion restaurant with Latin / Caribbean fare
• Sal , The Kitchen , a unique setting with walls built out of coral that extrude salt
There are 11 more culinary concepts on-site , including eight restaurants , three beachside gourmet food trucks and 13 bars .
Tasting the flavors of the island is a big part of the experience here , and there is so much to see and do beyond the walls of the resort . Guests can borrow a Mini Cooper convertible to drive out to a hike or for a picnic among the local flora and fauna . The resort offers unlimited complimentary scuba diving to explore 70 different reefs and an 18-hole golf course next door to the resort .
Back on the property , which opened in summer 2022 , plenty of pool options await under the swaying palm trees and in view of the rugged mountain landscape . There ’ s a bi-level ocean-fed pool and another quiet pool for those looking to catch up on some reading or just enjoy some precious moments of silence . For those who want the sand beneath their toes , grab a chair and stretch out at the resort ’ s beach club .
