A Caribbean Gem for Divers and Sunseekers
Nestled along the sun-soaked shores of southern Curaçao, Lion’s Dive & Beach Resort is a vibrant, diver-friendly escape that blends luxury, accessibility, and adventure. Whether you're exploring coral reefs, relaxing under palm trees, or sampling fresh seafood at the resort’s waterfront restaurants, Lion’s Dive has something for everyone.
Located just 10 minutes from Willemstad and adjacent to the Curaçao Sea Aquarium, this 4-star beachfront resort offers direct access to some of the best diving in the Southern Caribbean. With a lively atmosphere, a private beach, and an onsite dive shop, it's the perfect home base for divers of all levels.
Dive into World-Class Reefs
Curaçao is known for its accessible shore dives, colorful marine life, and healthy coral systems, and Lion’s Dive puts you at the center of it all. The resort partners with Ocean Encounters, one of the island’s top-rated PADI dive operators, to deliver hassle-free dive days just steps from your room.
The dive package includes 5 days of 2-tank boat diving and unlimited shore diving, giving you ample opportunities to explore both near and far. Popular sites include:
Tugboat: A shallow wreck dive ideal for photography and beginners.
Superior Producer: One of the Caribbean’s best wreck dives.
Barracuda Point: Rich with marine life and current-swept coral.
Direct house reef access: Dive the reef right from the resort.
With air tanks, weights, and knowledgeable dive guides included, it’s easy to enjoy multiple dives a day without the logistics stress.
Coral Reef Restoration
One of the most inspiring experiences at Lion’s Dive Resort is witnessing the coral restoration efforts led by Ocean Encounters in partnership with Reef Renewal Curaçao. This hands-on project allows divers to actively participate in rebuilding the island’s fragile reef ecosystems by helping grow and replant endangered coral species like staghorn and elkhorn. Due to climate change, pollution, and disease, coral reefs around the world are in serious decline—threatening not just marine life, but also the coastal communities and tourism economies that rely on them. By supporting coral restoration, divers contribute directly to the recovery of vibrant, healthy reefs that will benefit future generations of ocean lovers.
Beyond the Reef: Dining, Wellness, and Island Fun
After your dives, take advantage of the resort’s extensive amenities. Enjoy daily breakfast buffets with tropical fruits and fresh pastries before heading out to dive. For dinner, choose from four onsite restaurants, ranging from laid-back beach bars to upscale seafood grills.

Health-conscious guests can take a dip in the 50-meter lap pool or hit the gym and wellness center. Lion’s Dive also offers complimentary bicycles, making it easy to explore the local shops, cafes, and historic sites nearby.
Families and non-divers will love the proximity to the Sea Aquarium, beachfront spa, and nearby snorkeling spots. The vibrant atmosphere makes it easy to meet fellow travelers while also offering plenty of quiet corners to unwind.
