Buying a home in Curaçao: your tropical dream starts here
Thinking about buying a home in Curaçao? Then you are certainly not the only one. More and more people are falling in love with the relaxed lifestyle, the colorful architecture and the always sunny climate of this beautiful island. But how do you take such a big step, especially if you don’t live on Curaçao (yet)? No worries, we will help you from A to Z, personally and with expertise.
Why buy a home in Curaçao?
Whether you are looking for a vacation home, an investment or your permanent residence, buying a home in Curaçao is a special adventure. The island culture, Caribbean charm and international community make living here attractive and unique. But the housing market is different than in the Netherlands or Belgium and that requires the right guidance.
We know the market, the island and your concerns
Since 2008 we have been guiding people like you through the process of buying a home in Curaçao. We know exactly what’s involved, from finding a reliable notary to arranging an architectural inspection or checking out leasehold land. We understand that you are not just buying a house. You’re buying a piece of future, peace, freedom, or just an investment in rental. And we also understand that this is exciting.
That’s why we take the time to really listen to you. What exactly are you looking for? An apartment by the sea? A villa overlooking Table Mountain? Or a distinctive home in Pietermaai? Whatever your dream is, we think along with you and look with a sharp eye for opportunities and pitfalls.

At Kostabon, we guide you step by step through the entire buying process. We make sure you know exactly where you stand, and that you don’t overlook anything.
Our services include:
- Introduction & orientation meeting: we get to know each other and discuss your needs, budget and preferences.
- Search & home selection: based on your profile, we actively search within and outside the public offerings. Thanks to our network, we are often the first to have access to exclusive homes that are not yet on Funda or other sites.
- Guidance on viewings: we plan and guide viewings, ask critical questions, and give honest advice on structural condition, location and market value.
- Negotiation & purchase advice: we negotiate on your behalf and make sure you don’t overpay. We also look carefully at the terms in the purchase contract.
- Legal and administrative handling: our legal partners check all documents and make sure everything is correct. From proof of ownership to transfer at the notary.
