Curaçao is a long and generally flat island, stretching some 40 miles (64 km) from southeast to northwest, at much the same north-south angles as its sister islands in the ABC group (Aruba to the west and Bonaire to the east). The island is about 10 miles (16 km) at its widest point.

Curaçao has a natural harbour which is sheltered and has the majority of the time a North Eastern trade wind. Curaçao is outside the hurricane belt. Due to the availability of the Refinery and the Curaçao Dry-dock company (CDM), it offers many technical support facilities and easy access of customs for spare parts unequalled in the region. The CDM is one of the largest and best equipped ship repair facilities in the Caribbean with three docks up to 280m and owned by Damen Shipyards Group.

There are at least two flights a day to Amsterdam and daily flights to Miami.
