Sandals Royal Curaçao is turning the 2026 FIFA World Cup into a resort-wide event — and it’s one of the more creative themed experiences the brand has offered this year.
The “Vacation Goals: Curaçao Edition” program will transform the resort during the World Cup window with high-energy watch parties, globally inspired food and beverage specials, and a limited-time Island Routes Curaçao Fútbol Culture Tour that takes guests beyond the beach to experience the island’s passionate soccer culture firsthand.
Why Curaçao?
This isn’t a random tie-in. Curaçao has a deep, genuine connection to global soccer. The island has produced an outsized number of professional players relative to its population, and the Curaçao national team has been a rising story in Caribbean football. The World Cup summer will bring genuine local energy and pride to the island — and Sandals is tapping into that authentically.
Sandals Royal Curaçao itself is one of the most unique properties in the Sandals portfolio. Located on the island’s southeastern coast, it’s the brand’s first resort outside of its traditional Caribbean destinations and introduced several firsts: the Dos Awa infinity pool, the Awa Seaside Butler Bungalows, and the Curaçao-inspired Kurason Island poolside experience.
