About the Resort and Dive Center
Both resort-view and ocean-view rooms are available with our LionsDive Beach Resort packages. Ocean Encounters dive operation is conveniently located on-site, which means an easy walk to the boat each morning. LionsDive is perfect for non-divers too. Make time to relax on the shaded beach, swim in the resort's cove, or access the 50-meter Olympic-sized pool.
The resort is just a short 20-minute drive from the Hato International Airport. You will arrive at the beautiful white sandy beach of LionsDive Beach Resort. Located in the Bapor Kibra district, you are just a five-minute car ride away from the city center of Willemstad, with its world-renowned colorful Dutch-Caribbean architecture and its multitude of historical monuments that have earned the city a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
The resort is located on a spacious, yet quiet and shaded private beach, and is part of Mambo Beach, the longest white sandy beach in Curaçao. Just a few footsteps away, you will discover Mambo Beach Boulevard, with its wide array of bars, restaurants, and shops. You will also find the Curaçao Sea Aquarium and Dolphin Academy all within walking distance of the resort.
