Welcome to Dolphin Suites and Wellness Curaçao, where unparalleled accessibility meets world-class diving adventures with Ocean Encounters. This innovative concept has been recognized as a groundbreaking tourism product for Curaçao, being the first and only fully wheelchair-accessible hotel in the Caribbean. Founded by the Curaçao Dolphin Therapy & Research Center in 2008, Dolphin Suites was created to primarily serve families participating in the 10-day dolphin-assisted therapy program.
This valuable addition to Curaçao’s tourism offerings has been pivotal in attracting medical tourism to the island, supported by the Dutch PSNA fund in 2007. Over the first ten years, they proudly welcomed over 10,000 guests with special needs. Their focused marketing into this niche market has put Curaçao on the map as an accessible destination, offering inclusive dive travel and vacation experiences in the Caribbean.
