TUI BLUE Curaçao
Opening in summer 2026 on Curaçao’s tranquil west coast, TUI BLUE Curaçao is a five-star, all-inclusive beachfront retreat set amid unspoiled nature at Groot Santa Martha — a landmark property built thoughtfully on the site of the former Coral Cliff Hotel.
Here, world-class diving and effortless luxury come together. Guests enjoy oceanfront rooms and private pool suites, multiple pools with swim-up access, a full spa and fitness center, and six on-site restaurants and bars, all wrapped into a comprehensive all-inclusive dining and drinks program. Sustainability runs throughout the resort, from solar energy and smart water and waste management to expansive green spaces that keep the property in harmony with its surroundings.
What truly sets this experience apart is the diving. From this quiet stretch of coast, you’re within easy reach of some of the most celebrated dive sites in the Caribbean — accessed exclusively through Ocean Encounters’ daily boat diving program. Surface in the morning, dive pristine reefs by day, and unwind in five-star comfort by night.
This is the kind of seamless dive vacation we love to bring to life. Our team at Ocean Encounters can personalize your TUI BLUE Sleep & Dive package — from room category to dive schedule — so every detail is handled before you arrive.

Why Choose the TUI BLUE Curaçao Sleep & Dive Package?
A Sleep & Dive package removes the friction from a diving holiday. Instead of coordinating separate bookings for your room, your dives, and your airport transfers, everything is bundled into one carefully planned experience — so you can focus on the water and the rest.
World-Class Diving with Ocean Encounters
Ocean Encounters is Curaçao’s leading PADI 5 Star IDC dive center, known for safety, professionalism, and an intimate knowledge of the island’s reefs. Their exclusive daily boat diving program for TUI BLUE Curaçao guests opens up dive sites along the west coast that are difficult or impossible to reach independently from shore.
Boat diving means less driving, more bottom time, and access to walls and reefs in peak condition. Experienced guides lead each outing, brief you thoroughly, and tailor the pace to your certification level — whether you’re a newly certified Open Water diver or a seasoned technical diver chasing deeper walls.
All-Inclusive Luxury at Santa Martha Bay
After a day on the water, TUI BLUE Curaçao’s comprehensive all-inclusive program takes over. Meals, drinks, and resort amenities are included, so there’s nothing to think about beyond which restaurant to choose and which pool to settle beside. It’s the rare combination of adventure and indulgence — and it makes budgeting your trip refreshingly simple.

Discover TUI BLUE Curaçao
A Five-Star Beachfront Retreat on Curaçao's West Coast
Curaçao’s west coast is where the island slows down. Away from the bustle of Willemstad, the landscape opens into rolling hills, hidden coves, and quiet bays fringed by some of the healthiest coral reefs in the region. It’s here, overlooking the bay of Santa Martha, that TUI BLUE Curaçao rises as a new landmark property.
The resort sits on the site of the former Coral Cliff Hotel — a thoughtful choice that minimizes new environmental impact while breathing fresh life into a beloved location. With breathtaking views of Seru di Kristof and Santa Martha Bay, a large private beach, and expansive green areas throughout, TUI BLUE Curaçao feels both grand and gently woven into its natural surroundings.
For divers, the appeal is immediate. This stretch of coast places you within striking distance of celebrated reefs, walls, and wreck sites — all accessed by boat through Ocean Encounters, Curaçao’s most trusted dive operator. You get the best of both worlds: a serene, nature-rich setting and front-row access to the underwater world.
From the rooms to the restaurants, every element of the resort is designed to deliver comfort, calm, and a genuine sense of place.
Accommodations: Oceanfront Rooms & Private Pool Suites
TUI BLUE Curaçao offers a range of accommodations to match the way you like to travel. Oceanfront rooms frame the Caribbean and the bay of Santa Martha through floor-to-ceiling views, while private pool suites add a secluded outdoor retreat for couples and travelers seeking extra privacy.
Each room is designed with the island in mind — light, airy, and oriented toward the water. After a morning of diving, there’s no better place to rinse off, relax, and watch the light shift across Seru di Kristof.
Dining & Drinks: Six Restaurants and Bars
With six on-site restaurants and bars, dining at TUI BLUE Curaçao is an experience in itself. The all-inclusive culinary program spans relaxed beachside fare, international cuisine, and refined à la carte options, paired with a full drinks selection.
Divers burn serious energy underwater, and the variety here means you’ll never run short of ways to refuel — from a hearty breakfast before your first boat dive to a sunset cocktail and a memorable dinner overlooking the bay.
Pools, Spa & Wellness
Beyond the private beach, the resort features multiple pools, including swim-up access, for slow afternoons between dives. A full spa offers treatments that soothe tired muscles, while the fitness center keeps active travelers on track.
Designed for Diver Recovery and Relaxation
Smart divers respect their surface intervals, and TUI BLUE Curaçao makes those hours a pleasure. Float in a swim-up pool, book a massage to ease post-dive fatigue, or simply stretch out on the beach as you off-gas and recharge before tomorrow’s descent.
Diving Curaçao's West Coast with Ocean Encounters
The diving is the heart of this package — and Curaçao’s west coast delivers some of the most rewarding underwater experiences in the Caribbean.
Exclusive Daily Boat Diving Program
Ocean Encounters runs a daily boat diving program, departing from TUI BLUE Curaçao. Boat diving along this coast is the difference-maker: it brings you directly to vibrant reefs, dramatic drop-offs, and signature sites without the logistics of shore entries or long drives.
Each day typically includes guided dives suited to mixed-ability groups, with attentive crews managing your gear, your safety, and your comfort. For certified divers who want to maximize their time in the water, it’s an ideal setup.
Celebrated Dive Sites Within Easy Reach
Curaçao’s west coast is home to some of the island’s most famous diving. Depending on conditions and the day’s itinerary, Ocean Encounters’ program can bring you to landmark sites known throughout the Caribbean diving community.
Coral Gardens, Walls & Wrecks
The region is celebrated for its healthy hard and soft corals, sloping reefs that fall away into deep blue walls, and dramatic geological features. Schooling fish, sea turtles, moray eels, and the occasional eagle ray are common companions, set against coral cover that reflects Curaçao’s long commitment to reef protection.
Diving for Every Certification Level
One of Curaçao’s great strengths is its accessibility. Gentle reef slopes and excellent visibility make it welcoming for newer divers, while deeper walls and more advanced profiles reward experienced divers and dive clubs. Snorkelers, too, will find plenty to love just below the surface.
Sustainability at the Heart of TUI BLUE Curaçao
Responsible travel isn’t an afterthought here — it’s built into the foundation of the resort and into the way we dive.
A Resort Designed to Tread Lightly
TUI BLUE Curaçao was designed with sustainability at its core. The property incorporates solar energy, efficient water and waste management, and expansive green areas throughout. By building on the footprint of the former Coral Cliff Hotel rather than clearing untouched land, the development minimizes new environmental impact while creating a landmark destination on the coast.
For travelers who care about where they stay, this matters. You can enjoy five-star comfort knowing the resort was conceived with the surrounding ecosystem in mind.
Responsible Diving & Reef Conservation
Curaçao is recognized for its exceptional reef health, and protecting it is a shared responsibility. Ocean Encounters and the wider Curaçao dive community champion responsible diving practices — proper buoyancy, no-touch reef etiquette, and support for restoration initiatives such as Reef Renewal Curaçao in their coral propagation efforts across the island.
Diving with operators who prioritize conservation means your visit helps sustain the very reefs you came to explore. It’s a small but meaningful way to ensure Curaçao’s underwater landscapes thrive for the next generation of divers.
Curaçao — A 365-Day Diving Destination
Few places offer such reliable conditions year-round, and that’s a major reason divers return to Curaçao again and again.
Diving Outside the Hurricane Belt
Curaçao sits outside the Caribbean hurricane belt, which means calm seas, warm water, and excellent visibility throughout the year. There’s no single “dive season” to plan around — every month is a good month to descend on the island’s reefs, making it easy to schedule your Sleep & Dive escape whenever it suits you.
A Blend of Caribbean and European Culture
Above the waterline, Curaçao charms with its own distinct character — a vibrant fusion of Caribbean warmth and European heritage, expressed in colorful architecture, multilingual hospitality, and a rich culinary scene. Non-diving companions will find no shortage of culture, beaches, and adventure to fill their days while you’re out exploring the reefs.
Who Is the TUI BLUE Sleep & Dive Package For?
This experience is built to flex around the way you travel.
Certified Divers and Dive Clubs
From beginner Open Water divers to advanced and technical enthusiasts, the daily boat program suits every level. Dive clubs and groups, in particular, benefit from the convenience of all-inclusive logistics and a single, coordinated point of contact for the whole trip.
Couples, Families, and Mixed Groups
The combination of luxury accommodations, all-inclusive dining, pools, spa, and a private beach makes TUI BLUE Curaçao ideal for couples celebrating a milestone, families balancing divers and non-divers, and experience-focused travelers who want comfort alongside adventure.
