Sandals Royal Curaçao is celebrating its second anniversary, marking a period of remarkable achievements since opening its doors on the island. The resort, the brand’s first all-inclusive offering in the Dutch Caribbean, has quickly become a favorite among travelers.
Awarded Curaçao’s Leading All-Inclusive Resort by the World Travel Awards for two consecutive years, Sandals Royal Curaçao has played a significant role in boosting local tourism. This influx has stimulated the local economy, creating jobs and benefiting local businesses.
The resort’s commitment to enhancing guest experiences led to the addition of the luxurious Rondoval Butler Villas in the past year, further elevating its five-star accommodations.
Executive Chairman Adam Stewart refers to the resort’s impact as «The Sandals Effect.» Since its opening, visitor stopovers have increased by 18%, local taxi services have seen higher demand, local beer production has tripled, excursion operators have expanded their offerings, and local restaurants have reopened, revitalizing the Santa Barbara community.
True to its mission of making a positive impact, Sandals Royal Curaçao actively engages in community outreach through the Sandals Foundation. Focused on education, environmental sustainability, community development, and sports, the foundation has seen notable success with the Future Goals program. In partnership with Limpi Recycling, this unique initiative repurposes fishing nets and plastic waste into soccer goals, teaching life skills and environmental stewardship through the game of football.
