Perla Del Mar
About This Spot
Perched along the shimmering waterfront of Willemstad’s Waterfortstraat, Perla Del Mar invites you into a space where the rhythm of island life slows just enough to savor the moment. The gentle sound of waves brushing the shore mingles with the soft buzz of conversation, setting a relaxed yet attentive tone that embraces visitors with quiet warmth and a touch of seaside romance. Whether you’re settling in for a leisurely lunch or lingering through a sunset that stains the sky in shades of coral and gold, there’s a sense of open invitation here that encourages both discovery and comfort.
Inside, the atmosphere is unpretentious — a true reflection of Curaçao’s easygoing spirit — where friendly staff move with genuine care, ready to help you navigate a menu that celebrates the ocean’s bounty alongside hearty island favorites. The plates that come to the table aren’t just meals; they’re moments captured in fresh, vibrant flavors — tender seafood kissed with tropical accents, vibrant salads brimming with freshness, and grilled dishes that hint at an island barbecue gathering. It’s a place where the local catch meets familiar warmth, inviting you to explore tastes that feel both rooted and new.
With its effortless blend of scenic views and sincere hospitality, Perla Del Mar is exactly the kind of spot where strangers easily become part of the story, whether passing through from a cruise or calling the island home for the day. Here, the ocean isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a companion to a dining experience that feels like a quiet celebration of Curaçao’s natural charm and the simple, joyful connection to food, place, and people.

Food was delicious and the view of the ocean was amazing. The tuna steak was very good.

Really great service, very flavorful and fresh seafood. It's hard to not just eat sea food on an island and they made it harder to resist. Great presentation, great location which was water front.

We were cruise ship passengers and stopped here for a drink! Blue Curaçao on Curaçao seemed like a good fit! This place had amazing views on our cruise ship, and we stayed here for the sunset! Percent location, 10 minutes away from a cruise port.

Absolutely amazing! Service was great, food was fresh and delicious. Definitely recommend. Ask for Isa and tell them you read a review from Tamarindo (2 couples visiting from Puerto Rico/Florida). 18/April/2023.

We went there for a random date night. A chill place when you are looking for a quiet place with a romantic vibe. Friendly staff who are eager to assist. The food was good and surprisingly the portion were bigger than expected for an affordable price. The perfect place to visit, when you crave seafood. Their menu has a great variety on options.

Heard about this place on out last full day in Curacao and came to check it out. We were seated right away and got a seat by the ocean. It was great. Had the Carteagena shrimp which was great. Also had a corn bread like appetizer. The surf and turf platter was great. The t- bone steak wasn't the best but still good.

The food is very good, the price is a bit high compared to other restaurants on the island. But it's worth it.

The restaurant is right on the water. The sounds of splashing waves soothe you are you dine. Decent portions of food, can be a bit greasy tho. Minus the extra oil it would have gotten 5 stars
