Can You Drink the Tap Water?
Yes — tap water in Curaçao is safe and excellent. It is produced by desalinating seawater and is considered among the purest drinking water anywhere.
There is no need to buy bottled water; bring a refillable bottle instead and fill up at the hotel. The water meets high quality standards and tastes clean. Skipping bottled water saves money and cuts plastic waste on an island where it matters. Ice in restaurants is made from the same safe supply.
