Saliña is a residential area in southeast Curaçao located in the eastern part of the capital, Willemstad.[2] The word Saliña in Papiamentu means salt lake. Most of the lake has been poldered for housing developments. The neighborhood started as the plantation Saliña Abou in 1726.[3]

Saliña is one of the primary shopping and office districts on the island[4] with many retail stores, restaurants, cafes, banks and a mall. Its main road heads towards the east into the Caracasbaaiweg, which runs to the Caracas Bay and the Jan Thiel Beach with several major resorts.
