Why this trip

A beach with turquoise water, sun loungers and a few palms: Kokomo Beach in Jan Thiel has exactly this calm Caribbean setting. The place lies in the south of Curaçao, a few kilometres from the capital, and yet the bay feels relaxed. Families find shallow water and shade at Kokomo Beach. Couples go to Zanzibar Beach & Restaurant in the evening and watch the sun sink towards the sea.

If you are more active, climb the Jan Thiel Beach Stairs or explore the Curaçao Ostrich Farm, an excursion that children like. The coast is also suited to snorkelling straight from the shore. The catalogue lists Chogogo Dive & Beach Resort, Papagayo Beach Resort, Papagayo Beach Hotel and Baoase Luxury Resort, from dive hotel to quiet complex. The best time to travel is November to April.

If you want to see the west of the island, plan a day or two nights at Westpunt, where there is noticeably more seclusion. In a video call, Private Islands agrees with you whether you use Jan Thiel as a base or only as the start of the trip.
