Playa Lagun: reef, sunsets and very little noise
We're on the quiet west side of the island, about 30 minutes from Hato airport and Willemstad, with the sandy beach just steps from the door.
The beaches nearby
Three of the island's loveliest bays are within a short drive of the bungalow, and the first is at your doorstep.
Grote Knip
The postcard beach of Curaçao: a wide white bay with brilliant blue water, a cliff viewpoint and palapas for shade. About 10 minutes' drive (roughly 5 km) from the bungalow.
Playa Piskadó
A small working fishermen's beach where sea turtles gather around the boats, one of the best spots on the island to swim with them. About 15 minutes' drive (roughly 7 km) from the bungalow.

Diving & snorkelling
Under the surface
The house reef starts at the beach: turtles, stingrays, eels and coral within a few fin kicks. The dive centre on the grounds runs guided dives, introduction dives and full certification courses.
The house reef
One of Curaçao's best shore snorkels starts right off the beach: turtles, stingrays, eels and reef fish, no boat required.
Diving on site
A professional dive centre on the grounds offers guided and introduction dives, SSI and select PADI certification courses, and equipment and snorkel rental.
Diving all year
Curaçao sits outside the Caribbean hurricane belt, so conditions stay good year-round, including child-friendly entry-level experiences.
