WILLEMSTAD - A group of local and Dutch investors under the guidance of The Curaçao Financial Group N.V. (cfg) have taken over Flamingo Park Resort from the Griffith family. The park is in Sint Willibrordus and has been in existence for more than 30 years.  

This park of 22-holiday cottages is built on two hectares of land in a rural setting with lots of greenery. The intention of the new investors is that the vision of the founders, Erna and her late husband Armand Griffith, be refreshed and continued. This has also been confirmed by a very large group of loyal customers that faithfully return every year for their favorite stay in Curaçao, at Flamingo Park. An oasis of tranquility amidst the nature of Bandabou, the resort is also a real delight for bird watchers, hikers, scuba-divers, and beach lovers that are a stone’s throw away from the nicest beaches of Curacao.   

The new management is working with local advisors on a sustainability improvement plan for the park that will focus on the requirements of the environmentally-conscious tourist. There is now a growing demand for greener vacations and within a few years, it will be a requirement for several travel companies that resorts reduce their carbon footprint significantly.
