Very private luxury villa on oversized lot in oceanfront neighborhood located 15 min east of Willemstad in the Jan Thiel area. It has grown to become the most desirable upscale beachfront neighborhood in Curacao. Very laid back residential style but with a full leisure service infrastructure. The house is located 300 yards from the beach. There you'll find two beaches (dive school and catamaran sailing), five restaurants (ranging from beach bar style to fine dining), coffee+gelato shop,boutiques and a gym. There's a 10 mile (world champion) mountain bike trail starting 200yds from the house. Little under a mile the other way (at the inlet) is a marina. All the while the house serves as your private oasis in the middle of it all. While I would recommend you go see the island and Willemstad, you can equally spend a private resort style resort style vacation just within the walking radius from the house. The house is perfect for a relaxed vacation in beautiful Curacao. In- and outdoor living: Just like its name implies, Villa Royal is large and beautiful! This modern villa was built just a few years ago on a large plot at Vista Royal. The plot area is well over 2000 m2! The villa has 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms and is extremely spacious. And of course, it has all the luxury you would expect. The living room is large but cozy at the same time. The sliding doors allow you to merge the indoor and outdoor life together. Feel like watching screen television is hooked up to the cable network, which gives you access to countless stations, including all the major US networks. The kitchen is truly amazing, every little detail has been given attention. All kinds of appliances are at your disposal and the double door refrigerator has plenty of space for large parties. If you enjoy cooking your own meals, the large stove and cooking island make things as easy as it gets. Huge private pool and location: The icing on the cake is the large pool. It varies in depth and is around 5 by 12 meters in size. The tropical palms surrounding it really make this a perfect Caribbean spot. There's an outdoor shower available to cool off after a nice swim. If you enjoy the sun, go relax and lay down in one of the comfortable beach chairs. The trees and plants surrounding the pool area ensure full privacy The large garden has many different kinds of palm trees, banana trees and other tropical vegetation. The whole property is enclosed (6 feet stone wall) for your privacy and security. Villa Royal is situated in the area Jan Thiel, on the East side of the island. Jan Thiel Beach is at walking distance and the Caracas Bay is two to three minutes by car. The city center of Punda is roughly fifteen minutes away Scuba Diving in Jan Thiel : Scuba diving is huge in Curacao. Curacao is in the top 10 of best places to dive and it attracts drivers from all over the world. Jan Thiel Diving is only 2 minutes away form the house. The have beginners and advanced courses. Both my kids learned how to dive in 4 days (in 2007) at the Scuba Dive Center and both have been avid divers since then. It is an fun thing to learn and do for the rest of your life.
