Do you find yourself spending less time with your spouse because of everyday responsibilities, work and children? According to many studies, couples who spend more one-on-one time together are less prone to divorce. These special moments of quality time keep you connected, help engage the spark of romance, and report higher levels of intimacy, communication and commitment. Relationships are hard work and maintenance is required. These date ideas will impress both you and your partner.
1. Watch the sunset together
Sunsets are probably one of the most romantic gifts from nature. Sunsets are never the same. On Curacao the sun sets between 6.30 PM and 7.00 PM and it goes down in a rather short time. The after glow maybe is even more romantic! There are several magnificent spots to witness this golden hour, but our favorite one is at the Avila Beach Hotel. Okay, we may be a bit biased, but look at this photo and judge by yourself. It's a cheap date, but of course you can always add a bottle of wine, bubbles and/or snack platter from the Schooner Bar on the beach to complement the sunset.
2. Take a walking tour It will surprise you how much you didn't know about island of Curacao, even as a local. Tour guide Corine Seket's knowledge about our island goes far beyond Google. Walk hand in hand while taking in fun facts. Have your picture taken at the Otrobanda Street Art and the Alley District or Punda Window Art with Fort Amsterdam & Handelskade. What makes this Walking Tour unique is the group size (small, max. 10 persons). The tour is in 1 language (can be given in Papiamentu, Dutch, English or German. Please click here

3. Go kayaking or stand-up paddle boarding Enhance your love life with a stand up paddle boarding (SUP) or Kayak. Create an intimate and romantic outdoor experience. Easy going watersports may be the key to someone’s heart. Pick a stunning location and make it extra romantic by reenacting a gondola ride where one person can relax up front while one person navigates the waters wooing the girl one paddle stroke at a time. Tour companies offer this opportunity and some resorts, like the Avila Beach Hotel, have it as a complimentary amenity for hotel guests or day guests.
4. Indulge in a romantic dinner There are multiple restaurants on Curacao where you can enjoy a romantic dinner. A table for two, seaside with a beautiful view will always wow your date.
