A Plot Under the Sun
Dreaming of a life in the sun? Discover why Curaçao is such an attractive place to live—and what to consider when buying land on the island.
Living Where Others Vacation
Owning a home under the Caribbean sun is a dream that’s becoming reality for more and more people. Each year, Curaçao attracts not only visitors but also those who want to fully embrace island life. Whether you’re planning to spend the winters here, relocate permanently, or simply enjoy peace, space, and a relaxed lifestyle—living in Curaçao has undeniable appeal.
Buying or Building?
Anyone considering a future on the island often starts with one big question: do I want to buy an existing property or build my own? Increasingly, people choose to purchase a lot in Curaçao. Doing so gives you the freedom to create a home that fits your vision perfectly. Unlike in some countries, Curaçao offers many locations where you’re free to build at your own pace. That means flexibility and peace of mind.
Example: Harmonie
A prime example is Harmonie, one of Curaçao’s most promising residential developments. Here, you can buy a spacious lot with no building obligation. What sets Harmonie apart is the high quality of its infrastructure: well-paved roads, prepared utilities, and a calm, green environment. Whether you’re ready to build immediately or prefer to plan ahead, Harmonie provides a solid foundation for your future life on the island.
Tips for Buying Land in Curaçao
If you’re considering buying a lot in Curaçao, there are a few important points to keep in mind:
- Location: Curaçao has different wind directions and microclimates. Some areas are cooler and greener, others drier or more popular with tourists. Decide what matters most to you—peace and privacy, accessibility, or perhaps ocean views.
- Legal aspects: On Curaçao, there are both leasehold plots (erfpacht) and freehold plots (eigendom). Make sure you receive proper legal advice so you fully understand the type of ownership. Building regulations and zoning can also vary by neighborhood.
Space to Realize Your Dream
Purchasing a lot in Curaçao is more than a practical decision—it’s also an emotional one. You’re choosing space, freedom, and the opportunity to create a home in a place where life moves at a more relaxed pace. That’s what makes the island so attractive to many future homeowners.
