Top Water-Based Activities Guests Can Enjoy at TUI BLUE Curaçao
Craving a Caribbean getaway where the water is calm, the beach is steps away, and everything you need is already included? This guide to the top water-based activities guests can enjoy at TUI BLUE Curaçao shows exactly how to make the most of the island’s clear, swimmable bays—without the hassle of planning every detail.
You’ll discover what’s included with your stay, how to explore more with optional add-ons, and smart tips to turn Curaçao’s turquoise waters into your personal playground.
Why Curaçao Is Built for Days on the Water
Curaçao is known for over 35 beaches with calm, swimmable waters and world-class snorkeling directly from shore. Many beaches, especially on the island’s west side, sit within natural coves protected by coral reefs. That protection helps create gentler entry and more predictable conditions—ideal for relaxed swimming, paddleboarding, and snorkeling close to shore.
TUI BLUE Curaçao sits on a pristine white-sand beach in Santa Martha Bay, a scenic area celebrated for clear water, vibrant reefs, and easy ocean access. It’s a natural match for travelers who want effortless, all-day time by the sea.

- Complimentary kayaks and stand-up paddleboards
- Poolside service with snacks and drinks throughout the day

Snorkeling and Diving: From Shore to Excursions
Shore Snorkeling, Made Simple
Curaçao’s reef-protected coves are tailor-made for nearshore snorkeling. At Santa Martha Bay, you’ll find clear water and thriving coral environments that invite unhurried exploration. Many guests prefer morning sessions when seas are typically calmer, visibility is high, and marine life is active.
Tips for easy snorkeling days:
- Enter from the beach for a gradual, gentle swim.
- Use a buoy or bright rash guard for visibility if you’re new to snorkeling.
- Practice relaxed, slow finning to conserve energy and reduce disturbance.
Go Deeper with Diving and Water Tours
If you’re ready to level up, the resort can help you arrange diving excursions and motorized water sports as optional add-ons. The on-site tour desk and concierge can coordinate day trips, and there’s a car rental for independent exploration. TUI BLUE Curaçao also offers guided snorkeling as part of its experiences, making it easy to see the best spots with local insight.
Paddle Power: Kayaks and SUPs Included
Glide across calm water with complimentary kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. These are perfect for:
- Short coastal paddles to get a new perspective on Santa Martha Bay
- Low-impact cardio with a view
- Family-friendly fun that’s easy to learn and enjoy
General paddling pointers:
- Start along the shoreline in light morning wind.
- Keep a wide berth from reef tops to avoid contact and protect marine life.
- Hydrate before and after—tropical sun can sneak up on you.
Pools With a View (And Space to Unwind)
Prefer freshwater? Slip into the infinity and family pools that look out over the Caribbean Sea. It’s a serene setup for laps, lounging, and cooling dips between activities. Families love the easy rhythm: morning beach swims, mid-day pool time, and sunset soaks.
