CURACAO'S ART DISTRICT, NESTLED IN THE CAPITAL CITY OF WILLEMSTAD
Scharloo (Skalo), Curacao
Perfectly placed in the capital city of Willemstad, Scharloo (affectionately referred to as Skalo) is one of Curaçao’s most distinctive and culturally rich enclaves. Once the island’s most prestigious residential quarter, Scharloo is defined by stately 18th- and 19th-century mansions, broad streets, and striking architecture that reflect Curaçao’s layered colonial past. Today, the district forms part of Willemstad’s UNESCO World Heritage area and has evolved into an emerging art and design district, where historic facades are enlivened by bold street art, creative studios, and boutique concepts. Calmer and more refined than the other enclaves of Willemstad, Scharloo offers a more peaceful sense of place—ideal for those who value respite from the city's hustle while having the ideal basecamp to explore Curacao's heritage and culture.
