Our team's take

Getting there is part of the fun, you drive out through Bandabou, open the gate yourself like you're unlocking a secret spot, then a bumpy road down to Landhuis San Nicolas. Willemijn gives a short history tour of the place. From there it's down to your own private beach, just you and the sunset, one of the most romantic spots on the island, plenty of people get proposed there, she'll even help arrange photos or flowers if you're planning one! Bring water shoes, the entry into the water is rocky. Had a great afternoon!

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.

Willemijn gave us our dream wedding ceremony! We contacted so many venues and coordinators in Curacao knowing we just wanted a beautiful and intimate wedding for two on the beach. Everyone made it so complicated and unappealing. Willemijn sent a schedule outlining what our day would look like and it was perfect. She organized Claudia from Wow Weddings to photograph and Koeiman to officiate while she curated the most delicious feast and decor. The ceremony was handled with such care and attention. After the vows and toast, we took some more photos while the sun was just right. Then everyone leaves and it’s just you and your love on this beautiful little private beach to talk about the rest of your lives together. Photos don’t do it justice. You have to experience this for yourself.

The experience here was absolutely one of a kind. The whole process from the first WhatsApp message to the day we arrived was smooth and straightforward. They helped coordinate a photographer to for the surprise proposal and they were so well hidden that even I questioned if they were there! Needless to say, it was magical and they truly helped capture the moment. The food was DELICIOUS. I think my fiancé shed a tear for how good the food was more than when I proposed. Seriously, top tier food!! Thanks again for making this such a great highlight of our trip, we’ll definitely be back here again!

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.
