Balance Between Work and Relaxation: Your Workation in Curaçao!

Are you looking for a way to travel more often without running out of vacation days? Does the upcoming grey and cold winter in the Netherlands not appeal to you? Or do you work as a freelancer or have the flexibility to work remotely for your employer? Then consider a workation in Curaçao. This sun-soaked island offers the perfect sunny blend of work and relaxation.

Work Remotely From the Sun

If you frequently work from home, why not do so from a tropical paradise? A workation in Curaçao can benefit both you and your employer. While you escape the chill of the Dutch winter, you'll save on heating costs by not having to keep your house warm. Meanwhile, you can enjoy a sunny workspace that boosts your creativity and productivity. And during your free time? You’ll be relaxing on the beach or exploring the island's stunning, rugged nature. Who wouldn’t want that?

Why Curaçao?

Since the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, remote working has skyrocketed. Even now that we can return to the office, more and more people are choosing to work temporarily from abroad. Travel companies have specially selected accommodations for digital nomads that are fully equipped for online work, with fast internet and comfortable workspaces.

Curaçao not only offers these facilities on a smaller scale, but also boasts a wonderful climate. While your colleagues in the Netherlands battle the rain, you'll be sitting in shorts at your laptop, surrounded by ever-present sunshine and an average temperature of 31 degrees Celsius.

Enjoy Your Free Time

One of the biggest perks of a workation in Curaçao is the seamless blend of work and relaxation. After a workday, you can close your laptop and be on the beach within minutes. On weekends or during your time off, you can enjoy excursions and all that the island has to offer—without using any vacation days.

Benefits for Your Employer

Not only you, but your employer can also benefit from your workation. A change of environment can spark new energy and ideas that you can bring to your work. Additionally, the time difference with the Netherlands can be an advantage. If a client sends a request in the evening, you can still respond while your colleagues in the Netherlands have already clocked off. This enhances your company's service level, benefiting both you and your employer.

Are There Any Downsides?

The time difference between Curaçao and the Netherlands is an important factor to consider. In winter, Curaçao is 5 hours behind, and in summer, it's 6 hours. This means that if you have fixed working hours, you’ll need to start early. However, the upside is that you’ll finish early too, giving you the rest of the day to enjoy the island.

Also, keep in mind the travel time to Curaçao. It takes about a full day to reach the island, so plan accordingly. Once you arrive, you may experience jet lag for the first few days, so be sure to factor that into your work schedule.

Don’t Forget Your Insurance

Also, check your travel insurance. It often only covers personal holidays and not working abroad. Make sure you have the right coverage to avoid any issues. We always check this for you, and your workation via theWorkationers is always covered under travel guarantee.
