Campo Alegre, also known as Le Mirage, was a large open-air brothel in Curaçao. It has been operated since the 1940s. Originally an army encampment, it is located off Seru Fortunaweg near Curaçao International Airport.[1] It was the largest legal brothel in the Caribbean.[3] Curaçao, a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, permits the business of prostitution within its territory within strict regulation. In June 2020, Campo Alegre closed.[4] The facilities are auctioned in June 2022. Within stricter legal rules, prostitution can be resumed.[5]
