Circle

The estate of the plantation was, in the early days, stretched all the way to the coastline. Mr. Casper Arturo Perrit Gentil loved the ocean so much, that in 1924 he had a luxurious seaside resort built. This beach location is one of the most popular tourist hotspots on Curacao, and with this, the circle is figuratively round again. Bert and Mirjan are the present owners of Landhuis Jan Thiel, and overlook the beach in a little corner of the estate, which they developed together years ago.  This is home to different restaurants and beach clubs.

Magical spot

Together with their children Bert & Mirjan call the Koetshuis their home. When they heard that the estate was for sale, they did not jump for joy right away! Bert: “we do love space but 2 acres is too much for my family to live on”. Mirjan: “the magical atmosphere kept calling!”  They are hospitality entrepreneurs and decided to turn the historic Landhuis and some side building into a Bed & Breakfast. This way guests will be able to experience the same magical feeling. The daily management of Jan Thiel Lodge is in the hands of hostess Loeki ter Steege. Loeki also lives on the plantation in a beautiful kunuku house. Loeki: “To start this Bed & Breakfast was a dream come true! I have been managing Zanzibar at Jan Thiel Beach for years, a beach club with a high intensity of guests. Now on the private estate with just a maximum of 20 guests, I’ll be at your service to make this experience unique!”
