This 297-Room All-Inclusive Is Opening on One of the Caribbean's Fastest-Growing Islands This Fall
TUI BLUE is bringing swim-up suites, six restaurants, and a beachfront setting to Curaçao's quieter western coast.
Curaçao is getting another major all-inclusive resort, and this one is headed to a part of the island most visitors never see.
TUI BLUE Curaçao is set to open on Oct. 1, 2026, bringing 297 rooms, swim-up suites, private-pool accommodations, six restaurants, multiple bars, and three swimming pools to Santa Martha Bay on the island's western coast. The resort will sit about 24 kilometers from Curaçao International Airport and roughly 35 kilometers from Willemstad, placing it in a quieter stretch of coastline that has been attracting more hotel development in recent years.
The property will spread across six low-rise buildings rising up to five floors, with the design centered around pools, terraces, beach access, and outdoor gathering areas facing the sea. Room categories go well beyond the standard all-inclusive layout. Swim-up rooms will let guests step directly from private terraces into semi-private pools. Higher-end options include an Oceanfront Swim-Up Junior Suite with a freestanding tub and rain shower, and a Senior Suite with its own private outdoor pool.
A Dining Program Built to Compete
The resort is planning six distinct dining concepts instead of relying primarily on buffet service. IVO Beach will operate on the sand with daytime beach-club fare transitioning to barbecue-style dinners at night. Mesa Caribe will focus on Caribbean-inspired shared plates, while Culinarium will handle upscale multi-course dinners. The main buffet venue, a coffee and juice bar, a snack court, and a 24-hour grab-and-go option round out the food program.
Curaçao has been on a sustained hotel growth run, with international brands investing heavily across the island. Sandals Resorts launched Sandals Royal Curaçao in 2022, and new properties have continued to follow. The opening of TUI BLUE adds another layer to that expansion, particularly on the island's western side, which sits near Blue Room Cave, Christoffel National Park, and Cas Abao Beach.
Rates at the new resort start at $413 per night for the opening date, according to TUI's booking portal.
