5 Best Places to Shop in Curaçao
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Curaçao right now.
From Dutch classics like embroidered linens, Delft earthenware, and cheeses to local artwork and handicrafts, shopping in Willemstad can turn up some fun finds. But don't expect major bargains on watches, jewelry, or electronics; Willemstad is not a duty-free port (the few establishments that claim to be "duty-free" are simply absorbing the cost of some or all of the tax rather than passing it on to consumers). However, if you come prepared with some comparison prices, you might still dig up some good deals. But there are new complexes out of downtown now for ultimate retail therapy—Mambo Beach Boulevard has an eclectic collection of trendy shops at the Sea Aquarium Park and the brand-new Sambil megamall is a massive multilevel shopping and entertainment complex in Veeris Commercial Park with hundreds of modern stores and trendy boutiques.
Centrum Supermarket
Centrally located with a good selection of wares. A bakery is also on the premises.
Little Switzerland
Punda
A well-established, high-end chain offering designer jewelry, watches, crystal, china, and leather goods with outlets throughout the Caribbean, Little Switzerland's three Curaçao outlets are located in the Renaissance complex and at Rif Fort. Top-quality brands include Tiffany, Cartier, Movado, Tag Heuer, and more, at prices much lower than on the mainland.
