Prostitution in the Dutch Caribbean ( Aruba , Bonaire , Curaçao , Saba , Sint Eustatius , and Sint Maarten ) is legal and regulated. [1] [2] At least 500 foreign women are reportedly working in prostitution throughout the islands. [3] [1] Bonaire, [4] Sint Eustatius, and Curaçao are sex tourism destinations. [2]
There is a single state-sanctioned brothel on the islands of Bonaire, [4] [5] and Sint Maarten. [1] The brothel in Curaçao closed in 2020. [6]
Curaçao, Aruba, and Sint Maarten are destination islands for women trafficked for the sex trade from Peru , Brazil , Colombia , the Dominican Republic , and Haiti , [3] In 2011, a human trafficking ring was broken up after trafficking women for sex exploitation from Colombia to Aruba, Curaçao, Sint Maarten, and Bonaire. [7]
Prostitution in Aruba started to expand when oil refineries were opened on the island in the 1920s. Many prostitutes migrated to the island to service the oil workers and sailors from the oil tankers. [1] In 1928, the Government set up a regulated area of prostitution ( red-light district ) in the oil refining town of Sint Nicolaas . [8] Unlike the neighbouring island of Curaçao, The government was prevented from opening a state-run brothel by opposition from the Catholic Church and local women's groups. [1]
Regulations started during the 1950s allowed women to work for up to 3 months as "nightclub hostesses" in the bars and clubs of Sint Nicolaas ' red-light district. Women from Colombia, Venezuela , Cuba , Panama and the Dominican Republic came to the island to work in the clubs and bars. [1]
Currently, regulated prostitution is limited to one zone in Sint Nicolaas. [8] [7] [9] There are women of various nationalities working here, [8] especially Colombian [10] and Venezuelan. [9] The prostitutes working in this area require an "adult entertainer" work permit that lasts 3 months. [7] They have to have a medical examination before starting and then weekly check-up thereafter. [7] The woman have individual rooms over the bars that they work from. [9] Off-duty policemen sometimes work as security at the bars. [11] There is also unregulated prostitution in bars outside the permitted zone. [7] Street prostitution , although illegal, also occurs on the island. [7] There is also evidence of prostitution in the more rural areas, often by women originally from the Dominican Republic. [10]
There are also escorts on the island advertising on the Internet and newspapers aimed at tourists. [7] They operate outside the government's regulations, so are not required to have regular health checks or permits. [7]
Sex trafficking , especially of Venezuelan women, [12] is a problem on the island. [13]
Bonaire permits a single brothel , For 40 years this was the "Pachi". [4] [5] in 2013, the owner was arrested following allegations of human trafficking and the brothel shut. The "Men's Heaven", operating in the Hamlet hotel, has applied for the permit. [5] In 2020 politician Esther Bernabela spoke out against the rise in prostitution in Bonaire. [14]
Prostitution has been known to exist in Curaçao since pirates and privateers used the island in the 17th century. [15] In the 1920s, oil refineries were opened on the island. Women migrated to the island to service the needs of the oil workers and sailors from the tankers. [1] In the 1930s and 1940s, Venezuelan, Colombian, and Dominican prostitutes operated in the town centre. [15] The arrival of the Dutch and American navies to guard the island in the 1940s increased the demand for prostitutes. [1] The government banned prostitution from the town centre, but this was unenforceable. [15]
The governor appointed a commission that included the police, the public health department and the clergy with a view to solving the prostitution problem. They concluded that the best alternative was to concentrate prostitution in one location away from the town centre, [15] The plan was for a complex of appeasements where prostitutes could work independently. [15] On 30 May 1949, the complex named Campo Alegre (also called Le Mirage) was opened. [2] [1] [15] Only foreign prostitutes were allowed to work there, regular health checks are carried out and the women have to carry a health certificate ("pink card"). [1] The brothel was the largest brothel in the Caribbean , [16] however in March 2020, Campo Alegre closed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic . In June 2020, the company filed for bankruptcy , and the brothel closed. [6] The facilities are auctioned in June 2022. Within stricter legal rules, prostitution can be resumed. [17]
Some prostitution occurs in other bars on the island and in small unlicensed brothels. [1] Open-air "snacks", where drinks and fast food are served are also places prostitutes attract clients. [18]
Sex trafficking is a problem on the island. [13] Curaçao is a transit and destination country for women and children subjected to sex trafficking. Vulnerable populations include foreign and Curaçaoan women and girls in unregulated prostitution. Due to the deteriorating situation in Venezuela, legal and illegal migration to Curaçao increased, leaving many vulnerable to trafficking, including women working illegally at bars and brothels. [19]
Due to its low population (1,991 in 2013), [20] there are no reports of permanent prostitution on the island. It was reported in 2013 that "dancers" were coming to the island at weekends and engaging in prostitution. [21]
It has been reported that one or possibly two brothels exist on St Eustatia. [16]
Sint Maarten has the second largest brothel in the area, the "Seamans Club". [1] It was set up in the 1960s to service the needs of the fishermen in the newly created fishing industry. As the bulk of these fishermen are Japanese , it is known locally as the "Japanese Club". [1]
Prostitution also occurs in nightclubs and hotels. [16] Dancers in lap dancing and striptease establishments sometimes offer sexual services as a sideline. [18] There are also a number of illegal small brothels on the island. [1]
Generally, prostitution is accepted in Sint Maarten and seen as a necessary part of the tourism industry. [1]
Sex trafficking is a problem on the island. [13] Sint Maarten is a transit, and destination country for women and children subjected to sex trafficking. Women and girls from Latin America, the Caribbean, Eastern Europe, and Russia are the most vulnerable to sex trafficking, including women working in regulated and unregulated brothels and dance clubs. Some foreign women in St. Maarten's commercial sex industry are subjected to debt bondage. [22]

Traveling to Aruba 6/2-6/9 for our anniversary & looking for some "adult only" activities...or maybe some "not so family friendly" things to do on the island.
Staying at LaCabana but willing to travel the island. :)
lol... so are you talking about hitting the clubs? or... something.... .else....?
There are a couple of 'clubs' still left in aruba, downtown for the most party. But... im not really sure what exactly you're lookin' for. If it's anything more adult, you're probably going to get an earful :)
You may find what you're looking for around Charlie's Bar in San Nicholas, Aruba .
Check the back of the local tourist newspapers (free at the hotel lobby areas) for "adult activities" in San Nicolas.
Aruba is pretty tame and laid back. Closest "adult" activities that come to mind are the Kukoo Kunucu party bus and topless sun bathing. Maybe, Senor Frog's. Don't expect Cancun or some of the resorts in Jamaica party atmosphere.
Sorry, TonyNorthCape, but you have obviously never been to San Nicolas...
This has the protential to be a great thread!!!!!
I looked up San Nicolas and I dont think I will be going there in a hurry!
True, I have not really been to San Nicholas except to visit Charlie's Bar in the afternoon.
Thinking back, wife and I were enjoying a band at the Hyatt. These computer Geek types were dancing with some "ladies" that were easily described as the "escort" variety. I am getting old. LOL.
Just to entice this thread and hopefully not get banned... As the sun is setting take a little car drive down the back ally that runs parallel to the street Charlies is on, but north of it. Foxies backs onto it. Lots of locals, non-locals, and interesting behavioir. Have fun!!!
hmmmm....maybe I need to research San Nicolas.

Established way back in 1941, Charlie’s Bar Aruba ranks among the most legendary watering holes anywhere in the world; its fame carried across the seas over the years by the many oilmen and sailors who’ve been stationed in Aruba at one point or another.
When you think oil and the Caribbean, you mostly envision glistening beach bodies slathered in the sweet-smelling tanning potions purveyed by the likes of Banana Boat, Hawaiian Tropic, and others. Less known, however, is the region’s long association with the other, darker and infinitely more valuable oil – Texas T, Black Gold – so essential to our modern daily lives.
Some of the largest oil refineries in the world can be found on a collection of small islands throughout the Caribbean, most dating back to the 1940s and ’50s. The advent of these refineries has, over the years, spawned a unique sub-culture of oilmen and women (mostly men), attracted to the region from such disparate lands as the Middle East, Russia, South America, the U.S., and elsewhere. Patrick and I know this Caribbean oil sub-culture all too well as our Dad put us through school and supported our family while working as a Shift Superintendent at the massive Hess Oil Refinery in St. Croix .
There’s a transient, fun-loving, and decidedly male nature to this sub-culture. Home-grown West Indian oil workers like my Dad were in it to make a good living, put down roots, and raise a family. Those from outside the region were, in large part, here today/gone tomorrow, leaving a string of long nights spent partying and breaking hearts in their wake.
For oil men in Aruba , the place for all those long nights of partying and breaking hearts is Charlie’s Bar & Restaurant.
The bar is located in San Nicholas, a town so tied to the oil business that it’s safe to say that it wouldn’t exist if not for the large, decaying refinery that dominates the area. In the boom times, the town was alive with bars, banks, brothels (more on that later), and other businesses catering to the steady stream of refinery workers. Today, San Nicholas is as sleepy as its refinery, which has cut back production drastically over the years as its equipment became outdated.
Metaphorically, geographically and just about any other “ically” you might imagine, San Nicholas is the complete opposite of the pristine resort area along Aruba’s Palm Beach .
Now, as in the boom times, however, Charlie’s is the town’s central attraction; a warm and welcoming place to stop in for a few drinks and make new friends.
When you first walk in, prepare to be overwhelmed (I was) at the massive and infinitely eclectic collection of artifacts displayed all over the bar. Here, it seems, any man’s trash is a treasure, and virtually every man or woman that ever set foot in the place left something behind.
An expired West Virginia driver’s license, old baseballs, classic cameras, cell phones, trumpets, cowboy hats, stuffed animals, license plates from all over the world, a Ross Perot bumper sticker, pennants, and flags for almost every MLB and NFL team; the list goes on and on. There’s even a portrait photo of the Old West outlaw Jesse James donated, according to the bartender that served me on my visit in September, by the descendants of one of the guys who caught him.
Speaking of the bartender, he, like everything else in Charlie’s, is quite a story himself. His name is Cornelius, and he’s been behind the bar at Charlie’s for decades. During his time as a member of the Dutch Marines, Cornelius was stationed in Aruba in the early 1970s and fell in love with the island. After his tour of duty, he returned. “I stumbled back into Charlie’s in 1974, replaced a guy who was here for 42 years named Gambling Gus, and never left.”
How friendly is the vibe at Charlie’s? Well, after noting that I’m from St. Croix, Cornelius dusted off an old bottle of Cruzan Single Barrel Estate Rum (#85215) that had sat in the bar, unopened for more than ten years. He happily peeled off the plastic protecting the cork without a second thought. Instantly, I felt like a regular, and we were soon laughing and sharing stories with a local woman whose mother was visiting from Denmark, and three retired friends traveling together from Philadelphia.
Somewhere between drink #2 and #3, I learned about the brothels. I can’t remember who brought it up, but I do remember that everyone agreed: just about every establishment in San Nicholas not named Charlie’s Bar makes their money by way of the world’s oldest profession. Apparently, prostitution is legal in San Nicholas, making it Aruba’s Red Light District or the De Wallen of the Caribbean, albeit a grittier and less glamorous version.
Whether you’re looking for a good time, or a little bit more, no visit to San Nicholas would be complete without a stop at Charlie’s.
If you happen to be there on September 18, the usual good times are even better. That’s because Charlie’s hosts a blow-out party every five years on the exact date it opened – September 18 – to commemorate the bar’s long and colorful history.
The party spills into the streets as fans of the bar return from all over the world to reminisce, see familiar faces, and, no doubt, leave more stuff behind. The 2011 party marks the bar’s 70th anniversary, so you can bet it will be the biggest, best party yet.
