Sockets on Curaçao
The plug types you’ll find on Curaçao are Type A and B plugs and sockets.
Type A
Type A sockets have two flat parallel pins and no grounding. Unlike Type G, they don’t include an earth pin, which makes them less secure.
Type B
Type B sockets have two flat parallel pins plus a round grounding pin. Unlike Type G, the pins are thinner and there’s no built-in fuse.
Recommended Travel Adaptor for Curaçao
We tried many adaptors while travelling and checked them against strict criteria. Safety, performance and price were key. The adaptor below came out on top.
Forgotten your adaptor and already abroad? Don’t worry — airports and local shops usually stock them. That said, packing your own saves you from high prices and poor quality.
Curaçao is often combined with trips to Aruba and Bonaire. Worth checking those pages too — plug types and voltage can differ slightly between islands.
Do You Need a Voltage Converter?
The mains on Curaçao doesn’t line up with the UK’s 230 V, meaning a voltage converter will be needed for some devices.
Always check the mains voltage label before plugging in abroad; if it shows ‘100–240 V, 50/60 Hz’, you won’t need a converter.
Top Travel Essentials to Take With You
No one likes last-minute stress at the airport or hunting for chargers abroad. That’s why we always pack a luggage scale to dodge fees, a power bank to stay connected, and packing cubes to keep everything neat. They take up little space but make a world of difference.
