Living in Blue Bay

Blue Bay is a beach on Curaçao's west coast, next to the former fishing village of Sint Michiel, about 10 km north-west of the centre of Willemstad. The beach is known for its crystal-clear water, good for snorkelling and diving, and there are restaurants on the beach and at the golf course. In Dutch the bay is called Blauwbaai: the name goes back to a plantation called Blaauw that used to lie nearby.

Around the beach lies the Blue Bay Curaçao Golf & Beach resort, with the golf course, a hockey pitch and the Blue Bay Sculpture Garden. Next door, Sint Michiel has grown from a quiet fishing village into a neighbourhood with hotels and holiday resorts, yet by area it is the largest neighbourhood of Willemstad and still thinly populated. Near the village lies a large salt pan that is known for its flamingos.

Who Blue Bay suits

Blue Bay suits buyers who want the beach and a golf course close by, for a second home or to live here year-round. Most of the homes and apartments for sale here are in the resort, so ask the realtor about the monthly service costs and the house rules, for example whether you may rent the property out to holiday guests.
