Practical Info & photos

We have plenty of suggestions for the most beautiful beaches and best restaurants and bars and we are more than happy to share our favorites during your stay!

HOW TO GET THERE AND AROUND?

[THUIS]HAVEN mini resort is located in the quiet and very safe neighborhood Grote Berg (Kaya Grote Berg 31), centrally located on Curaçao and just a ten-minute drive away from Hato airport. We highly recommend to rent a car. All beautiful beaches and nicest restaurants and bars are quite far apart, and in order to really enjoy Curacao you’d need a car.

THE AREA AND ITS BEACHES

[THUIS]HAVEN is ideally situated to be the safe haven from which you explore the beauty of the western part of the island. A mere 15 minutes’ drive away is Cas Abao Beach, listed as one of the top 21 most beautiful beaches of the world by National Geographic. Our favourite beaches include Porto Marie and Playa Daaibooi. At San Juan beach (~20 minutes’ drive to the west) you will find some gorgeous small beaches.

Close by in Willemstad are plenty of shops, wonderful restaurants, museums and bars. There’s a few small supermarkets a few minutes away, while large supermarkets are a 10 minute drive away.

Our brand-new apartment in Jan Thiel is ideally located to explore the east side of dushi Curacao and experience the more touristy and party vibes at Jan Thiel beach.

BREAKFAST AT [THUIS]HAVEN

All our [THUIS]HAVEN studios and apartments have their own fully equipped kitchen. But sometimes it’s just nice to get breakfast served in your room, around the pool, or on your own terrace. We offer an extensive breakfast for 20 euro/person/day.

DIVING & SNORKELING

Curacao is great for snorkeling and diving. We have some snorkeling gear you can take for free for a day (first come first serve). We have great experiences with Central Dive Curacao. They offer great deals and know the best places.

RESTAURANTS

Our island has some great places for drinks and food. We have plenty of suggestions for all kind of occasions.

Our two off-site apartments are actually next to a very nice restaurant. Restaurant ‘De Buurvrouw’ has a casual atmosphere, the food, especially the pizza, is fantastic and the service is simply the best.

Restaurant Bali is within walking distance of [THUIS]HAVEN. We love the Asia inspired food, the laid back atmosphere and attentive service at this restaurant nearby.

If you like fish you can’t miss this: restaurant De Visserij. A hotspot where both locals and tourists come for the tastiest and freshest fish on the island. The restaurant buys the fish from the local fishermen with which they support the profession of the fisherman.
