Plantation Jan Thiel Lodge

Tucked into the quiet backroads of Jan Thiel, this restored 17th-century plantation house is the kind of hidden gem Boutique Bed & Breakfast you only hear about from someone who’s been. It’s got a relaxed, grounded vibe—more like staying at a friend’s countryside estate than a hotel.
There are just 7 rooms, each with their own style and little terrace, surrounded by gardens, two peaceful pools, and a whole lot of nature. Breakfast is homemade every morning, and it’s the kind of place where guests linger over coffee and end up chatting with the owners.
It’s close to Jan Thiel Beach, but just far enough to feel like your own private corner of the island. You can walk out the back gate and straight into the salt flats to spot flamingos, bike the trails, or just wander.
Ask about the owners about the option to arrange a private picnic setup near the salt flats - blanket, bites, and total peace. It’s a little off the radar and a really special Curaçao moment.
