The Hottest New Destination Wedding Locale: Curacao

For the last 40 years, Sandals Resorts has drawn in couples from around the globe to bask in Caribbean paradise, exchange vows, and enjoy a private escape for two. With 17 Luxury Included resorts in its repertoire, Sandals has expanded to the island of Curacao.

Sandals Royal Curacao brings fresh concepts and a seventh island to the Sandals lineup while upholding all the innovation, romance, and beauty Sandals is known for.

To learn more about Sandals Royal Curacao and why it is the hottest destination wedding location, keep reading!

Curacao: 'Feel It for Yourself'

Located in the Caribbean's southernmost region, Curacao is known for its stunning beaches, lively scuba diving sites, and vibrant culture. Rich in natural beauty, the island features desert landscapes and rocky coastlines that carve into azure waters. Drawing from its rich Dutch history, the island's capital, Willemstad, is marked by bright, pastel-colored architecture and quaint neighborhoods.

The newly opened Sandals Curacao has ignited excitement among Sandals' loyal members and newcomers alike. Sandals Royal Curacao also brings together the best of four worlds through architectural and design elements inspired by Dutch, Caribbean, Latin, and Creole culture.

Sandals Royal Curacao: Customizable weddings

Taking note from the brand's other Luxury Included resorts, all 44 acres of Sandals Royal Curacao are designed with opulence, relaxation, and romance in mind.
For brides and grooms exchanging vows at Sandals Royal Curacao, a variety of breathtaking destination wedding venues are available. Depending on preference, couples can choose from beachfront nuptials, a desert garden setting, a stunning golf course, or an indoor-outdoor reception space setup.

As for ceremony styles, couples have two options on the island of Curacao.
The first is a legal wedding. This traditional, government-officiated ceremony is recognized by a marriage license and calls for all non-residents to complete a list of requirements administered by Curacao's government.

In contrast, couples opting for a special ceremony without the hassle of paperwork can consider a symbolic ceremony. Symbolic nuptials, although they are not legally recognized by your state or country as a binding contract, allow for greater expression of a couple's personality and values. This relatively newer concept has been gaining popularity due to its flexibility and the ability to fully personalize.
To ensure the big day is exactly as envisioned, all couples have their own dedicated Wedding Team. From wedding planning to event execution and everything in between, the Sandals' Wedding Team is committed to bringing every wedding vision to life.
