The Caribbean island of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.curacao.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cura\u00e7ao<\/a> is an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands that is just a four-hour nonstop flight from JFK.<\/p>\n<p>Though Dutch is the official language of the island, Papiamentu, a melting pot of Spanish, Portuguese, French, Dutch and English, is widely spoken between locals. The language reflects some of the many influences that have contributed to the country&#8217;s multicultural identity. If you learn just one word, make it dushi, which means sweetie or sweetheart in Papiamentu. Suffice to say dushi is <em>always&nbsp;<\/em>positive so if someone or something is dushi, take it as a compliment.<\/p>\n<p>Locals cherish their island\u2019s beauty and don\u2019t take their natural resources for granted. Renewable energy is expanding and improving, with wind power significantly reducing the country\u2019s dependence on oil.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking for an island getaway loaded with culture, cacti-studded visual flair, stunning beaches, awesome outdoor adventures and an inclusive vibe, swipe right on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.curacao.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cura\u00e7ao<\/a> for a perfect match.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Get Outdoors<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>The Beaches<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_7301.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28886 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_7301-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/offmetro.com\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_7301-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/offmetro.com\/world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/IMG_7301.jpg 350w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>With over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.curacao.com\/en\/directory\/do\/beaches\/#\">three-dozen beaches<\/a>, beachcombers have their pick of everything from semi-secluded coves with calm water to rugged stretches with dramatic surf.<\/p>\n<p>Playa Knip consistently ranks as one of the Caribbean\u2019s best beaches.
