WELCOME TO
KURA HULANDA

Kura Hulanda Village is a unique neighborhood formerly operating as ‘Hotel Kura Hulanda’.

It has been restored to a small village including a hotel, stores, bars & restaurants and a lively residential area.

 

The cobblestone pathways wind through the meticulously 18th and 19th century Dutch Colonial Caribbean buildings around several glorious courtyards. The name derives from Papiamentu,

Curacao's native tongue, and means ‘Dutch courtyard’. 

 

Located in downtown Willemstad, the property is part of UNESCO,

preserving the historical aspect of the buildings and Curacao.

 

The Museum is still open to the public and is an anthropological museum that focuses on the predominant cultures of Curacao. It offers a world-class chronicle of the Origin of Man, the African slave trade, West African Empires, Mesopotamian relics and Antillean art.

THE RENOVATION

With the historic value in the back of their minds a group of local investors have renovated the area to a lively neighborhood. Open to the public as well as hotel guests and residents. A variety of restaurants, bars and squares Kura Hulanda will host a mixed group of people enjoying city life in a cultural ambiance. 

 

Arranged in four zones, the village will locate a hotel, bars & restaurants, commercial (shops) and a residential area.

 

Kura Hulanda is living in a safe and closed environment enjoying entertainment and tranquility in a unique area.
