Say hello to
Your family trip to the lesser-known Caribbean, already planned.
Turn 7 Days in Curacao into a Family Vacation to Remember.
Designed for parents, by parents.
Take a breath.
Do you have trip planning fatigue? Analysis paralysis? Overwhelm? All of the above?
It can take hours to figure out the Caribbean destination for you. You want something a little different – off the beaten path maybe. A place that offers more than just sand and sea, but relaxing beach days too. So you keep digging.
But you don't have that many free hours. We know because we're parents too.
When overwhelm sets in, travel planning stops being fun. You want a great trip on the calendar. You want to get out beyond the resort walls and explore. But you need to do it in a way that will work with kids. So you have to put in the time to sort out all the details, right?
Wrong.
Mango Tree Travel grew out of a deeply held belief that parents can travel with kids the way they traveled as people before. And planning those great travel experiences with kids should be easier.
Our Curacao Travel Guide will take you off the beaten path, but in a low stakes kid-friendly way. And it will give you this trip without the planning stress (hooray!). We can't wait to show you around this diverse and colorful island.
Top 5 reasons to should choose Curacao for your family:
Endless Family Activities. We don't plan your average, all-inclusive vacations here at Mango Tree. Each of our itineraries strives to take you outside the resort to truly experience your island destination. In Curacao, that includes a sea aquarium, an ostrich farm, caves, a national park, a colorful and lively city center with a European vibe, and dozens of beaches with lively energy. This list just scratches the surface of the things to do with kids in Curacao beyond the resort.
Affordable Hotels at Every Luxury Level. When it comes to finding accomodations with character and space for families, Curacao offers great value compared to other islands. This island lays claim not only to one of our favorite luxury boutique hotels, but also several of the coolest budget options we've found. And a classic beach resort with family suites to boot. There's truly something for everyone.
European Flavors. Curacao’s Willemstaad is a true cultural city to explore, with colorful facades and a distinctly European feel. That vibe is reinforced by the notable lack of American tourists. The artsy Pietermaai district, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is very walkable in the mornings and evenings, with cozy cafes, boutique hotels, and welcoming storefronts.
World-Class Snorkeling. If your kids are ready to snorkel, Curacao should jump up even higher on your wish list. The island is brimming with rocky coves, small bays, and thriving reefs to explore just off the beach.
Island Hopping Potential. It may seem off the grid, but Curacao is actually quite accessible, with direct flights from several major U.S. cities (New York, Charlotte, Atlanta, Miami) – but also from Aruba and Bonaire and St. Maarten. It's primed to be a stop on your island-hopping adventure.

“Thank you again for such an incredible week. It was legitimately one of the best weeks of my life. The weather was magnificent. . . . Curacao as an island was lovely. We met only a few other American families -- we met people from Holland, Ecuador, and other areas of South America, which was awesome. You truly found us paradise that checked all of the boxes. Thank you for the help and I'll definitely be back for next year's spring break! ”

Mango Tree came to life because I truly believe that traveling with our kids is one of the best things we can do for them – and for ourselves. As parents, you should not be forced to go to “family resorts” with cartoon-themed breakfasts for every vacation.
I want to give parents like you a lifeline back to the way you traveled before kids - with the added comfort of knowing your family can enjoy the journey by your side. At Mango Tree, we hunt for hotels and experiences with the je ne sais quoi that leave you wanting more. Your time is too precious to settle for less.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
It's time to book the ultimate family adventure to Curacao - and plan it in a fraction of the time.
