Step onto the terrace at La Marina and the view does the talking: palm trees, sparkling water and boats drifting past below. This bright 2-bedroom apartment sits on the second floor of Spanish Water View Apartments in Brakkeput Abou, a complex with its own private white-sand beach and a large infinity pool at the water's edge. Mornings start with coffee on the terrace, afternoons drift between the pool and the palapas, and evenings end with the water glowing below.

Downstairs, the complex has its own private white-sand beach, shaded by thatched palapas and lined with loungers, where you can step straight from the sand into the calm bay. Just behind it, a large infinity pool stretches toward the water's edge, with plenty of room to swim, float or settle in for the afternoon. Jan Thiel's beaches and restaurants are minutes away and Willemstad is about 15, but with a beach and pool like these, you may not feel the need to leave.

THE SPACE
The living area is open and airy, with high pitched ceilings and a full wall of sliding doors. Open them all the way and the living room and terrace become one space, with the sea breeze running straight through.

The kitchen sits along one wall of the open-plan room, with a round marble-topped dining table seating four. A comfortable sofa looks out toward the terrace and the water beyond. A washer and dryer are tucked away in their own laundry closet.

GETTING AROUND
A rental car is strongly recommended. Curaçao rewards exploration, and the tropical heat makes even short distances feel longer on foot. With your own wheels, the whole island opens up, from the west-end beaches to Willemstad and everything in between. Your dedicated parking space is inside the gate.


GUEST SUPPORT & LOCAL GUIDE
Complete privacy is yours throughout your stay, but we're always a message away. Our local team is available 24/7 for anything you need, from a restaurant recommendation to practical help. After booking, you'll get access to our digital guest guide, with restaurant picks, beach recommendations, snorkelling spots and practical tips for making the most of Curaçao from your very first morning.


ON-SITE ASSISTANCE & EMERGENCIES
Our local team can respond promptly if on-site help is needed. Emergency contact details and procedures are provided in the guest book at the property.


NOTABLE DETAILS: ENERGY TRANSPARENCY
Electricity at La Marina is charged separately and is not included in the nightly rate. Usage is metered at the start and end of your stay, billed at $0.50 per kWh and settled after checkout. Most guests spend around $10 - $15 per night. Curaçao's trade winds and the terrace ceiling fan keep the apartment comfortable during the day. Most guests find they only need air conditioning at night, with doors and windows closed, which keeps costs very manageable. We share this upfront because we'd rather you know before you book.

- A $500 security deposit (where applicable) is held on your credit card before arrival and released after check-out if no charges apply.
- For stays of 7 nights or more, we recommend a mid-stay clean. Curaçao’s heat and humidity are part of its charm, but they’re hard on a home: towels and linens lose their freshness quickly, and even small crumbs can draw in the island’s ever-curious ants. A mid-stay clean includes laundering all sheets and towels and a full clean of the home, so it feels like day one again. It’s $175, which simply covers our cost, and we’ll find a time that suits your plans. Additional cleans can be arranged at any point during your stay at the same rate. Just ask.

LA MARINA IS WAITING
Coffee on the terrace. An afternoon between the infinity pool and the palapa. Dinner as the boats come home across Spanish Water. We look forward to welcoming you to La Marina.
