Far away from the hustle and bustle of Curaçao's Punda and Otrobanda districts lies a remote, coral island with white sand beaches, crystal clear water, a spectacular reef and colorful sea life. The flat, wind-swept island of Klein Curaçao (Dutch for Little Curaçao) is a mecca for divers, snorkelers and sunbathers.

Klein Curaçao lies 15 miles off the southeast point of Curaçao and is just a two-hour boat trip from Spanish Water. The Mermaid, a sturdy sea-going vessel, awaits passengers at the Fishermen's Pier every day except Saturdays at 6:45am.

When you climb aboard the Mermaid, you'll be greeted with a warm cup of tea or coffee. Captain Kees and his crew create a great atmosphere that makes you feel welcome on board!

From a distance, you can see Klein Curaçao's landmark lighthouse and a shipwreck that was lodged on the beach many years ago. As the boat approaches the coast, you'll see a few huts, which are used by the local island fishermen. But mostly, you'll see endless beaches of white sand, waiting to be explored by you.

Once the Mermaid has anchored off shore, you'll want to take a swim in the crystal clear turquoise water. Take a stroll and visit the historical lighthouse or collect shells on the beach. Lie out on a beach chair and catch some rays of sun or play beach volleyball on our private court!

Our guests get exclusive access to our beach house. With a large thatched-roof patio, restrooms, picnic benches, and cool drinks, it's a great shady shelter from the heat of the sun. We provide all the facilities you need for a nice day on an uninhabited island.

Breakfast and a delicious BBQ lunch are both included. Chicken, spare ribs, beef burgers, corn, various salads and fresh fruits are prepared to perfection. Juices and soft drinks are provided (beer, wine and other alcoholic drinks are available for a small fee).

For snorkelers and scuba divers, Klein Curaçao has much to offer. Klein Curaçao has beautiful coral formations, a vertical drop-off and a couple of underwater caves. For snorkelers, Mermaid provides masks free of charge so that you can experience our gorgeous underwater world for yourself. For scuba divers, we offer several options, please contact us through whatsapp or mail for more information. For a relaxing experience, you can book a massage in our exclusive watch tower. No need for a pre-booking, you can reserve the massage on the spot.
