LionsDive Beach Resort Curacao, Willemstad

LionsDive Beach Resort is nestled along a long stretch of beautiful white-sand beach in Curaçao. Designed to complement the Dutch-Caribbean style presented throughout the island, this resort provides the perfect escape for those who wish to enjoy every experience in Curaçao to its fullest. Since the resort is located within a short 20-minute drive from the Hato International Airport, guests can simply lay back and relax in their cozy accommodations after a long day of travel. During their stay, travelers can explore Mambo Beach Boulevard, the nearby Bapor Kibra strip, participate in a variety of water and land activities and savor every minute of their vacation at LionsDive Beach Resort.

As scuba divers we are inherently passionate about protecting our blue planet. We love diving vacation destinations that respect the environment so we can, repeatedly, experience spectacularly healthy coral reefs full of color and life. But we also appreciate when dive resorts and their on-site dive shops are seriously committed to evolving a “GREEN MISSION” without “blue and/or green washing it”. At LionsDive Beach Resort Curacao, an environmentally sustainable approach has been completely integrated into the daily resort operations and this is why they are one of the best eco-friendly dive resorts in Caribbean.

The lush gardens surrounding the resort provide ample shade on the private beach so guests can relax as the warm tropical breeze blows through the trees while the turquoise waters present the perfect setting for exploring the beautiful coral reefs. With six spacious accommodations to choose from and a variety of services and amenities to indulge in, your recipe for relaxation with friends or the whole family is complete at LionsDive Beach Resort.

The Green Mission
LionsDive Beach Resort has expanded their operational eco-conscious mandate to include their guests. By expanding the eco solutions into guest services at the resort, they are now enabling their guests to participate daily in recycling, water conservation, daily waste reduction, and lessening the energy burden with a networked solar farm. In addition, LionsDive Beach Resort also supports key environmental initiatives in Curacao that provides real value for the local community. Whether it is supporting educational programs like GreenKidz, reducing animal suffering with the Rescue Paws Curacao Foundation via Pack for a Purpose, or promoting diving and snorkeling programs with the Reef Renewal Curacao Foundation; the long term goal of LionsDive Beach Resort is to encourage the preservation of our environment for future generations with active participation.

Water Bottle Program
Staying hydrated at LionsDive Beach Resort is now even easier thanks to their new environmentally safe water bottle program because all guests, when checking in, receive their own water bottle. That means that guests can now expect one reusable beach bag (per couple) and one water bottle per person that can be refilled with refreshingly cold water at several water filling stations throughout the resort.

The water bottles not only look spectacular but are a sustainable solution from Join the Pipe. The bottles are made from sugarcane, a CO2 negative plastic. By reusing a bottle, you help us reduce single-use plastic waste. Join the Pipe is committed to a world with less plastic waste in which everyone and everywhere in the world, has access to safe drinking water. The bottles are filled with tap water from Curacao.

Not only is Curacao’s tap water safe to drink, but it is also of the finest quality! Water is distilled from seawater and therefore perfectly safe to drink. The water is soft, contains no chloride, has little calcium and it even meets the highest quality standards of the World Health Organization. With these amazing bottles and perfect drinking water, we no longer need to purchase single-use plastic bottles. And that is precisely the point. LionsDive strives to be a sustainable resort and projects like these fit perfectly with their green mission. Refill, reuse and reduce plastic!

Solar Panel Farm
Over the course of 2022, LionsDive Beach Resort has installed 588 solar panels throughout the resort with the assistance of the Dynaf Group who are committed to “delivering reliable, affordable, sustainable and modern energy solutions for all”. With this current installation, the solar panels are able to provide approximately 70% of the daily energy requirements at LionsDive.

Dive and Snorkel for a Purpose
Are you wanting to make a difference and truly Dive or Snorkel with a Purpose? At LionsDive Beach Resort, guests are invited to submerge themselves at their house reef by “Diving and Snorkeling for a Purpose” with the Reef Renewal Curaçao Foundation! Guests of LionsDive can participate in an immersive learning experience about coral reefs and the valuable work Reef Renewal Curaçao (RRC) is doing on their house reef. So visit Ocean Encounters and join RRC for a guided shore dive or snorkeling tour to see the elkhorn and staghorn coral nurseries plus the numerous out-plantings. All the fees are donated to RRC! Why? Because ultimately, if everyone works together to protect what we love it will lead to greater efficiencies in recovery and achieve long term sustainability for our coral reefs and marine habitats here in Curaçao.

Please be advised: LionsDive Resort will be starting a new exciting project: creating a new gym, new spa treatment rooms, new offices, 24 new Oceanview Deluxe rooms and 4 extra 1-bedroom suites. Preparations for this project starts on Monday, April 3rd. This will be done very carefully and with minimum disturbance. In case of expected noise disturbance, this will only take place between 9 AM and 5 PM, on weekdays. On weekends, no work is planned. During the construction, their spa services will be available as usual. Outdoor massage services are still provided on the beach, and indoor services have moved to a temporary new location next to the lobby. Gym facilities are available free of charge at Blue Maxx health club, a newly opened gym on Mambo Beach Boulevard. Guests can pick up a keycard at the reception to enter Blue Maxx. The dive center will operate as usual.
