Villas and Beach Houses in Curaçao

Four places to stay in Curaçao: two villas with a private pool in Jan Thiel, and two apartments for four by the sea, one opposite Mambo Beach and one on a private beach in Willemstad. You book and pay with the owner directly, and Kua Kaminda adds no booking fee.

Where you stay shapes your days in Curaçao: a villa with your own pool in a quiet park, or an apartment with the beach across the street. These four are rented out by their owners, and each page shows the photos, everything in the house and the terms. Here is how they compare.

Villas with a private pool in Jan Thiel

Jan Thiel is on the southeast side of the island, with its beach, restaurants and small shops close by. Both villas belong to the same owners, Yvon and Werner, and both start from EUR 165 a night.

• Villa Kas Oraño is on the gated park of Marbella Estate. It has three bedrooms with air conditioning and king-size box-spring beds, two bathrooms, a private pool in a tropical garden, a porch with a dining table and a palapa that sits a little higher and catches the breeze.
• Villa Vyda is in Damasco Resort, right opposite the main gate of Marbella Estate. It has two bedrooms with air conditioning, each with its own en-suite bathroom, a private pool and a spacious east-facing porch with a lounge corner and a dining table.

Both have a Weber gas barbecue, a full kitchen, a washing machine and free WiFi, and bed linen and towels are included. For children there is a high chair, a travel cot, a changing mat and toys. Check-in is from 16:00 and check-out by 10:00, and a stay is at least 6 nights. Pets are not allowed, and smoking is for outside only.

On request the owners arrange the transfer from and to Hato Airport for EUR 120, a groceries package that is ready when you arrive, and their own car to explore the island.

Beach houses for four

The two beach houses are apartments of the same owner, Vincent. Each sleeps four in two bedrooms, and a stay is at least 4 nights.

• Beach House Elisabeth is at St. Elisabeth Resort, right opposite Mambo Beach, two minutes on foot. The apartment is brand new, completed in September 2026, with about 114 m², two bathrooms, a private patio and the resort’s shared pool. From USD 200 a night.
• Beach House The Strand is on the Caribbean Sea, on the Penstraat in Willemstad. It has a balcony that looks out over the sea, three bathrooms and a separate office. Right by the apartment are a private beach with a sheltered spot to swim, snorkeling just beyond the breakwater and an outdoor pool. Pietermaai is within walking distance. From USD 300 a night.

Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out by 11:00. Stay more than 10 days and a mid-stay cleaning is on the house.

What comes on top of the nightly rate

The two owners handle the extra costs differently, so compare the whole stay and not only the nightly rate.

• The villas: electricity (EUR 0.50 per kWh) and water (EUR 9 per m³) are read at arrival and departure and settled from a EUR 500 deposit, which comes back within a week after your stay, less any damage. There is a EUR 25 reservation fee. In the Dutch school holidays and over Christmas the nightly rate is higher.
• The beach houses: the rates include electricity and water, at The Strand with electricity up to 40 kWh a day. A 7% tourist tax and a one-time USD 100 cleaning fee per stay come on top. There is no security deposit.

The calendar on each page shows the price of every night.

Paying and cancelling

• The villas: you pay half the rent within 3 days of the booking confirmation, and the rest 30 days before you arrive. Cancel more than 45 days before arrival and you pay half the rent plus the reservation fee. From 45 days before arrival you pay the full rent plus the reservation fee.
• The beach houses: a 20% down payment within 7 days of booking confirms your stay, and the rest is due at the latest 14 days before arrival. Cancel up to 60 days before arrival and you get back everything you paid. Between 60 and 30 days you get half back, and less than 30 days before arrival nothing.

For all four, insurance that covers a cancellation is recommended.

How booking works

On the page of the stay you choose, pick the day you arrive and the day you leave on the calendar and send your request. You book and pay with the owner directly, and Kua Kaminda adds no booking fee.

Plan your days from here

The villas are in Jan Thiel, next to Spanish Water, where several boat trips leave. From the beach houses, Mambo Beach and Punda, Pietermaai and Otrobanda are at the door. Want dinner at home one evening? A private chef cooks in your kitchen.
