Landhuis Jan Thiel

Top choice in Curaçao


On a breezy hilltop above Jan Thiel Beach, this historic plantation has served as a farm for salt, oranges, goats and cows since the 17th century. Three years ago new owners did a fabulous revamp and turned it into a boutique hotel, with highlights including incredible views, lovely walking trails and a relaxing pool.

The sunshine-yellow main house contains six quaint rooms with unique decor, comfy beds and en-suite bathrooms. Across the lawn, a cottage offers a private pool and an outdoor shower. The whole compound is occasionally rented for private events (US$1600).
