Soto, Curaçao
Bron: Profar

Soto is a quiet village in the west of Curaçao, between the interior and the bays on the southwest coast. The area has a rural character and is a pleasant base for those who like to alternate beach visits with exploring villages and nature.

A quiet village on the west side

In and around Soto you see a different rhythm from the tourist parts of Willemstad. The roads run along hills, plantation houses and scattered buildings. It is an area you come to mainly for the surroundings and the peace and quiet.

Beaches and views nearby

From Soto you can drive towards the bays of the west coast, including the area around Santa Cruz and Lagun. Near the village there are also places to eat, such as a restaurant at Landhuis Klein Santa Martha, with a view over the landscape.

By car through Banda Abou

A rental car is practical because the sights and beaches are spread out. Allow enough time for the drives and check the opening times of places to eat if you want to stop there.

Bring water, sun protection and, if you like, snorkeling gear. That way you can decide flexibly along the way which bay to visit.
