In the rental sector on Curaçao, there is growing attention to the sensible and sustainable use of utilities.

Drinking water and electricity on Curaçao are largely produced locally through desalination and power plants, supplemented by wind and solar energy. Because production costs on an island are relatively high, more and more hosts are focusing on conscious consumption. The aim is to prevent waste without guests having to compromise on comfort during their stay.

For holidaymakers, this means that clear guidelines or tips are more frequently provided regarding the use of high-power appliances, particularly air conditioning. By only cooling rooms when windows and doors are closed, or by taking advantage during the day of the natural trade winds blowing through the living area and across the balcony, the indoor climate remains pleasant while protecting the environment.

We are pleased to inform you prior to your journey about the use of the appliances provided and the air conditioners in the bedrooms. This ensures that you know what to expect in advance, allowing you to relax and enjoy a comfortable stay.
