This historic neighborhood, once a quiet residential area, has undergone a vibrant transformation. Today, it throbs with an energy all its own, a delightful mix of bohemian charm and cosmopolitan cool.

A Feast for the Eyes:

Pietermaai's streets are a visual feast. Rows of restored 18th-century townhouses, painted in a rainbow of Caribbean pastels, line the narrow lanes. Intricate dutch gables and wrought-iron balconies add a touch of European elegance, creating a picture-perfect backdrop for your Curaçao adventure.


A Shopaholic's Paradise:

Indulge your inner fashionista or find unique treasures at the plethora of trendy boutiques and art galleries that line the streets. Local designers showcase their creations alongside handcrafted souvenirs and island-inspired clothing.


A Culinary Adventure:

From cozy cafes serving up delectable breakfasts to award-winning restaurants offering global flavors, Pietermaai is a haven for gourmands.  Sip your morning coffee at Beans, a local favorite, or savor an unforgettable fine-dining experience under the twinkling Caribbean sky.


Nightlife Nirvana:

As the sun sets, Pietermaai's energy shifts gears. Live music spills out of trendy bars and cafes, the air thrumming with jazz melodies or the infectious rhythms of local bands. Nightclubs like Mundo Bizarro pulsate with energy, inviting you to dance the night away under the starry sky.


A Day and Night Destination:

Whether you crave a day of exploration amidst historic charm, a shopping spree to find unique treasures, or an unforgettable night of music and dancing, Pietermaai District has it all.  This vibrant neighborhood is the beating heart of Curaçao, a place where history and contemporary cool collide to create an unforgettable experience.
