About this property

Escape to Villa Hammaka - Enjoy Amazing Waterfront Views!


Villa Hammaka is a private house right on Curacao's Spanish Water bay, with breathtaking views of the beautiful landscape and sunset skies right from your private beach and pier. After leisurely waking up, you can enjoy the morning breeze while having breakfast on the porch or under the pergola by the beach. When you are ready, grab some snorkel gear and search for the hidden "treasures" around the pier. Afterwards, you can catch up on your reading while relaxing in one of our hammocks. If you want to be more adventurous, you can take a car to experience the many attractions Curaçao has to offer. Be sure to get back to the house in time to pour your favorite drink, put your toes in the sand and capture the breathtaking sky at sunset.

Can you picture yourself here? We can accommodate you! The house has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and can sleep a total of 6 people. All of the furniture is teak and the linens are high quality, with 400 thread count sheets. This is our private beach house that we are sharing with guests when we are not there, so we only provide what we would want for ourselves!

We ask for a minimum of 3 nights, with discounts for weekly and monthly rentals.

If you rent our car, we will pick you up at the airport and tell you about the "must see" spots on the island! If you don't rent our car, we do recommend that you rent a car from an agency to get around if you would like to leave the house to replenish supplies or even just to see the local area because there is nothing within walking distance of the house and no mass transportation close by.

To give you an idea of distances, the closest grocery store is around 5-10 minutes away by car. The Jan Thiel beach area, which has four restaurants, from casual to upscale, as well as beach bars and shopping, is around 5-10 minutes away by car. The downtown "Punda" area, where the historic "handelskade" is located, is around a 15 minute drive from the house. You will find shopping, restaurants, bars and the cinemas there as well. The Santa Barbara resort, where you will find golf, tennis and restaurants, is also around 15 minutes away in the other direction. So, you are basically within a 10 to 15 minute drive of most everywhere you'd like to go!

If you want to check out the other side of the island, called "banda abou" (literally meaning "other side"), it will take you around 30-45 minutes, depending on how far you want to go.

We look forward to welcoming you to enjoy our weekend home!

About the host

Hosted by Heather de Paulo

Host profile image
Owners, Barry and Heather de Paulo, have been living on the island since 2005. Heather is an American and Barry is a local, both with plenty of experience and knowledge about the island to show tourists all that Curaçao has to offer! They have two children, both born on Curaçao.

Why they chose this property

Curaçao's waters have something special about them, and their unpredictability and beauty makes one feel a sense of awe and respect when he/she experiences their magic. The Spanish water inlet is extra special because there are few natural inlets like it on the island that allows one to enjoy this magic, irrespective of what's happening in the unpredictable sea "outside." I have had visitors come to the island to visit, and when we take them on the water and they see the "kabritu berg" and the other natural beauty of the area, their reaction is, "wow, you LIVE here?" We want to share this sense of awe, wonder and magic with you. Even though you will only be here for a short time, the hope is that the experience will stick with you and keep you wanting to come back for more.

What makes this property unique

On Curaçao, there are many small houses on the water that locals call, "weekend houses." Just little structures with not much more than a small kitchen/living area, a bathroom and maybe a separate bedroom or two. The idea is to escape from the grind of every day life and get out to the sea to immerse in nature, but only driving a short distance away. This house was one of those houses. It needed a complete renovation, but the "soul" of the house had something special, so we maintained the original feel of the house as much as possible. It's cozy, comfortable and will provide you with all the conveniences you need while giving you the feeling of escaping it all, providing you the opportunity to be at one with the Caribbean nature.
