My husband and I booked the sunset picnic. Willemijn greeted us as soon as we arrived. She was very welcoming and explained the story behind the plantation which was very interesting. She then gave us directions to get to the beach. The view was spectacular and the setup was perfect. Everything was ready for us and nothing was left out. We had an amazing time and the food was prepared with care and was so delicious! It was nice to have our own private beach and the sunset was amazing. We will definately come back.

What a outstanding amazing experience I had!!!! It exceeded my expectations!!! For a minute, I was not sure if I was on the island of Saint Barts or Curaçao lolol just kidding but wow this privet Beach experience exactly that an amazing experience I’ll never forget! I knew I was I the right place when I was in the middle of the booking Process, and there was only three limited spots for the entire month of January!!!! Also when I was asked by my host if I had any Dietary restrictions and what was my wine Preference!!!! The level of detail for my Sunset privet beach experience was being booked blew my mind! I arrived at a very unassuming Gate with code in had help myself in locked behind as instructed and drove Approximately 2.5 to 3 km road and arrived what I called heaven to my privet beach with a full set up Picnic table fully set up with silverware Icebox cooler placemats glasses Sparkling water Champagne wine per my request by the way Five course vegetarian meal it was like Fairytale!!!! Sunshade and two lounge beach chairs amazing beach did I say 100% privet !!!!!!! There even was a outer reef from the beach to prevent any boat or jetski passersby’s not even think about Approaching the beach! We only had one boat pass by Approximately 1 km offshore at a high rate of speed! The food was so good clean Locally organic sourced products! I enjoyed my day with the most amazing sunset evermore the wine and snacks at the end of sunset I made my way back to my car head back to the Plantation house where my host lives which is Approximately 1.5 half kilometers away from the beach and thanked her for one Of the most memorable times I’ve ever had on island!!!!! I’ve been visiting Curaçao 2-3 times a year for the last 16 years and this was the most memorable experience ever!!!!!!!! All I can say is thank you soooo much please book early the pics Do you no justic!!!!

In November 2023 I surprised My wife with a private beach dinner at Landhuis San Nicolas. Let me tell they didn’t disappoint. The beach is totally private no one in sight 😉😉. They arranged a beautiful light dinner. Fresh vegetables served with probably the best hummus I ever had. Served with a great pesto salad and delicious cheese cake dessert. Also the watermelon juice was so fresh. The food was packaged nicely on ice. I highly recommend to book your lunch or dinner when visiting Curacao. See you soon Landhuis also our host is such a sweetheart.

The fact of being in a private beach was amazing and the food and drinks were ok. Our romantic moment was ruined by two big pitbulls without collars that showed up in the middle of our experience. We were super scared, because we didn't have internet and we couldn't call. We were totally isolated. So we enjoyed until 6pm when these two pitbulls came. The management service was really poor. We asked for a full compensation, except the beverages and food, because our experiencie was horrible in this beach. Something that was supposed to be romantic and beautiful, became a bad experience. We did not know if those dogs were aggressive, or they were starving... who knows. The solution provided by the management was one hour compensation. In the end we found out that those two dogs belonged to the Management. They escaped from them and ruined our experience. TOTALLY NOT RECOMMENDED IF MANAGEMENT IS STILL THE SAME

Our picnic at Playa Franki was by far the highlight of our honeymoon. From the history of Landhuis San Nicolas, to the snorkeling and food, everything about this experience was incredible. The beach is truly private, and the lack of onshore development means the shallow reef here is in amazing shape. We can’t wait to return, and absolutely recommend Landhuis San Nicolas to others visiting Curaçao.

Amazing private beach

Private and beautiful location, the owner/host is amazing. She gave us a tour before hand. Food was very delicious and plated nicely. The location also host private events and weddings. I'm going back in November and I can't wait.

If you’re looking for a private beach experience that feels like stepping into a real-life treasure map — this is it. Landhuis San Nicolas gave us an unforgettable day at one of Curaçao’s most beautiful and hidden beaches. Everything was done with such heart: from the eco-friendly setup, to the local ingredients, to the way they protect the nature around you so you feel like you’re part of something special (and you are!). We snorkeled in crystal-clear water right off the beach, and enjoyed a picnic that felt like a dream: homemade juices, local flavors, and the purest island vibe you can imagine. The attention to detail is incredible — even the trash bags are biodegradable! We were also greeted by the sweetest dog, Nala, she’s such a gentle, loving soul — a true island treasure herself! It’s not just another beach day — it’s a full experience of connection: with nature, with each other, and with Curaçao itself. We left with sandy feet, full hearts, and memories we’ll never forget. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants something real, private, eco-friendly, and absolutely unforgettable. The Treasure is Out There… and sometimes, it’s waiting for you at Landhuis San Nicolas.

Total Pivet beach Bliss OMG

Words cannot explain in detail how amazing this private beach experience was from the minute I was given clear instructions on how to enter the beautiful 750 acre pristine untouched private land I was simply amazed. Prior to my reservation I was contacted by the host and was asked several questions if I had any dietary restrictions or any special needs for my private beach experience. I was giving clear instructions on how to check in which that experience was just simply amazing. The beautiful birds and wildlife that I encountered from the gate entrance to the private beach was mind blowing. I arrived at the private beach, walk down and was greeted with an amazing picnic table with a 4 course picnic Champagne, sparkling water, ice chest glasses, silverware everything you needed to have an amazing sunset picnic experience, including two beach lounge chairs, and Sunsail shade! What an incredible property completely and 100% private the beach was simply pristine calm Waters beautiful setting to enjoy a epic Curaçao sunset. My host on two occasions during my six hour stay message me to make sure that I was safe and sound, and that I was enjoying everything that was provided which I did! The food that was prepared was handcrafted and exceeded my expectations, homemade hummus, celery, and carrot sticks a garden salad with homemade dressing corkscrew pesto pasta served with fresh tomatoes was out of this world and to top it off homemade Keylime pie that I need the recipe for as soon as the chef wants to share those secrets lololol after the sun went up hill I made my way back to my rental car visited to Host “Who lives on property approximately 1 km away from the beach”to thank her! on the off property I experienced a wild island deer which are very rare to spot on the island which was a great way to close out my epic Sunset journey on this private beach thank you so very much and look forward to coming back very soon
