Sandals Resorts marked its venture into the vibrant culture and colours of the Dutch Caribbean with an enchanting grand opening celebration at Sandals Royal Curaçao headlined by the island’s most captivating performers. This included the highly anticipated return of carnival to the destination for the first time in three years.
Brilliantly bringing to life the newly opened resort’s tagline, ‘Where Amazing Comes Together’, the weekend’s events began with a welcome by Sandals Resorts’ Executive Chairman Adam Stewart followed by the sounds of the Kachu horn as the sun set over the resort company’s new home in Curaçao.
“Curaçao’s rich history and vibrant culture is something to be discovered and we can’t wait to share Sandals Royal Curaçao with the world,” said Stewart. “This extraordinary new resort sends a signal about the reimagined return of Caribbean travel and the ingenuity our guests can come to expect from Sandals Resorts.”
Reinforcing its commitment to its new community, the celebration — attended by a spirited crowd of resort guests, local dignitaries, island partners and international press — was headlined by various Curaçaon talent who form the tapestry of the island’s pulsing arts culture.
