WILLEMSTAD - Renowned Colombian influencer Andrea Valdiri has shared stunning images of Curaçao on her social media platforms during her recent vacation to the island. With 9.4 million followers on Instagram, the former Miss Colombia 2015 is one of the most-followed personalities in her home country.
Valdiri, 33, is more than just a beauty queen—she’s also a singer, actress, and fitness model. Among the locations featured in her posts are the Avila Beach Hotel, Chill Beach Bar, and the iconic Handelskade. Hailing from Barranquilla, Valdiri expressed her excitement about her visit to Curaçao, which she described as a perfect getaway, not too far from home.
Curaçao's Iconic Spots Shine
Valdiri’s posts prominently highlight Curaçao’s vibrant charm, including the colorful Handelskade, which has drawn admiration from her followers.
Visit Not Sponsored by CTB
Visits by influencers of Valdiri’s caliber are significant for the island, as they bring wide exposure and can boost its appeal as a vacation destination. While some influencers visit Curaçao on invitations sponsored by the Curaçao Tourist Board (CTB), inquiries reveal that Valdiri’s trip was entirely self-initiated. Neither the CTB nor the Avila Beach Hotel extended an invitation for this trip.
At times, hotels or airlines collaborate with influencers, offering sponsored stays or flights in exchange for online exposure. However, in this case, Valdiri’s visit was purely personal, amplifying the organic appeal of Curaçao to her millions of followers.
Valdiri’s posts underscore the island’s growing reputation as a must-visit destination in the Caribbean. Her authentic enthusiasm is sure to inspire her audience to explore Curaçao’s beauty for themselves.
