These bottles keeps your water up to 24 hrs cold an 12 hrs hot. They can be (re)filled with water (for free or a small fee) which can be found with the QR code. at different locations on the island (almost 30 locations all over the island), like hotels, resorts, restaurants and shops, Think Google maps for water!

Every Water Refill Program has it own designed bottle which is characteristic of this destination. April 2021 we introduced a new design Curaçao bottle. This bottle has the map of Willemstad on it and 3 QR codes. By using the QR codes your are able to discover the island in a more sustainable way.
