From French Polynesia to Curaçao
When travelling from French Polynesia to Curaçao: None of your French Polynesia plug types fit in Curaçao. You will need a travel adapter. Voltage is different (230V → 127V). Check your charger label; if it doesn’t list 127V you’ll also need a voltage converter. Frequency differs (60Hz → 50Hz). Modern phone and laptop chargers are usually fine, but some clocks, motors, and appliances may behave incorrectly.

About electricity in Curaçao
Curaçao is 127V/50Hz with Type A and B sockets. An unusual North-American/European pairing.
Grid & history
Aqualectra supplies the island from oil and an offshore wind farm. The 127V/50Hz combination is unusual and worth noting.
Availability
Reliable.
Sockets & hotels
Standard North American sockets at 127V.
Energy mix
Wind contributes meaningfully.
Practical tips
- US plugs fit local sockets directly, so US travellers do not need an adapter.
- Voltage is 127V at 50Hz. US 60Hz motors and clocks will run ~17% slow.
