Overview
For more than 200 years, the Avila Beach Hotel has welcomed guests to its elegant, Dutch colonial-style property standing over Curacao's southwestern shoreline. Guest rooms and suites feature wooden furnishings and neutral color schemes with colorful accent linens and chairs, plus amenities like free Wi-Fi access, walk-in showers, minifridges and balconies or terraces. Despite the hotel's minimalist style, guests say the Avila flaunts an intimate atmosphere with romantic touches. Visitors highlight the cozy, torch-lit dinners for two on the beach as a memorable part of their stay. For other meals, the Avila offers three eateries and two bars. Plus, optional half-board and all-inclusive meal plans are available. After satiating their appetites, couples can visit the tour desk to sign up for dolphin or hiking excursions. Or, stay on-site to take a dip in the infinity pool, unwind at Santai Spa or lounge on one of two private beaches. Don't forget to carve out some time for exploring downtown Willemstad, which is accessible via the hotel's free shuttle.

Critic Reviews

- Frommer's Very Highly Recommended
This upscale oceanfront resort, opened in 1949, is the longest continuously open hotel on the island of Curacao – and over its history it has maintained roots by preserving the refurbished original mansion and the quaint Dutch colonial architecture. Today the 150-room hotel blends history with modern luxury, offering updated rooms with flat-screen TVs, a sleek infinity pool, an excellent gym, business facilities, two small beaches, and three restaurants.
Even though it's been around for over six decades, beautifully restored Dutch colonial architecture and a lively contemporary vibe keep this legendary complex from ever feeling dated. A spacious infinity pool attracts families and couples alike, while two private beaches offer guests a soothing spot to enjoy surfside pleasures.
The Avila Beach Hotel occupies the magnificently restored 18th-century home of a Dutch governor, along with several modern wings of luxurious accommodation. The elegant grounds include two private beaches and a gorgeous infinity pool.
