Where’s the party? by Susan Campbell
Jan Thiel Beach
Curaçao’s exciting party scene is scattered all over the island, but we have the inside scoop on where all the action is- day and night. Just follow our lead to find all the fun! Pietermaai: something for every party style This is the trendiest district on the island with so much to offer in such a small grid. And you need not wait for the sun to set to get in the party spirit. Day time, bring your bathing suit to enjoy French Riviera style lounging at Saint Tropez Ocean Club’s infinity pool on the sea. Or take a dip at Los Caballeros, a unique city beach bar with live music Saturday nights. You can also enjoy a seafront pool and bar at the gorgeous new beach club Nultwintig. After dark, find outdoor live music at Mr. Porter Street Café or head to Blue Bird Cafe where they fuse local art and music together. Explore the surreal décor of Mundo Bizarro which has hot salsa dancing to live music. Mosa/Caña gastro bar has a lively Latin/Caribbean vibe, or if you’d rather party throwback style head to BKLYN for 90’s hip-hop. Tuesday nights the young Dutch 86 | Nights Curaçao
party people gather at Bar P to raise the roof with the island’s hottest DJs. For quieter vibes seek out Fish & Joy Bistro & Wine Bar or find the new Ochenta Cocktail Bar for creatively hand-crafted drinks. Thursday nights don’t miss landmark Blues Bar at the Avila Beach Hotel. Their legendary pier venue is known for the best live jazz bands perched right over their bar! And the new Obaar Brazilian Lounge also has live bands and DJs on a stage directly above their bar. Such fun!
