In a world where jet-setters seek more than five-star opulence, where purpose matters as much as polish – Avila Beach Hotel rises above the rest as a luminary in eco-luxury travel. Perched on the sun-drenched shores of Willemstad, Curaçao, this legendary resort, with over 75 years of soul-stirring Caribbean heritage, has been crowned with a prestigious International Sustainability Award, in recognition of its long-standing commitment to sustainable hospitality,  environmental stewardship, and community engagement, claiming its status as one of the global elite in conscious hospitality.

A Legacy of Purpose-Driven Hospitality

Located on the vibrant southern coast of Curaçao, a UNESCO World Heritage city known for its Dutch colonial charm and Caribbean soul, Avila Beach Hotel is a sanctuary of mindful luxury. Set within walking distance of the historic Punda and Pietermaai districts, the hotel offers a refined escape rooted in heritage, elegance, and environmental responsibility.

From the moment guests step onto the grounds, they are enveloped by a sense of harmony with nature. The property’s two private beaches, calm and protected by natural breakwaters, invite tranquil swims, snorkeling adventures on the resort’s house reef, and glimpses of a thriving coral nursery that speaks to Avila’s marine conservation efforts.

Stylish Comforts with Purpose

Every wing of the hotel tells its own story. Whether it’s the timeless elegance of the La Belle Alliance Wing, the romantic Caribbean flair of the Oceanfront Blues Wing, or the sleek modernism of the Octagon Wing, the accommodations are designed for sheer comfort, charm, and energy efficiency. Each room is fitted with eco-conscious amenities, and the hotel’s operations are streamlined to reduce waste and conserve resources, all while offering five-star luxury and immaculate cleanliness.

Guests enjoy complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, plush bedding, sustainable bath products, and ocean or garden views that soothe the senses. Whether you’re lounging in a sea-view suite or enjoying an ocean breeze from your balcony, the experience is equal parts indulgent and intelligent.

Dining: From Ocean to Table

At Avila, culinary excellence is as important as sustainability. The Pen Restaurant & Terrace invites guests to enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner while basking in sea breezes and sweeping ocean views. Ingredients are locally sourced whenever possible, and the cuisine celebrates Caribbean flavors with a global twist.

For an unforgettable evening, Blues Restaurant at the end of the pier pairs live music with fresh seafood and tropical cocktails and a colorful 360 mural, while the historic Schooner Bar – Curaçao’s oldest island beach bar – where barefoot luxury and laid-back island vibes collide under a canopy of stars. Romantic souls will love the Dinner on the Beach experience, where barefoot elegance and candlelight set the stage for memories that last a lifetime.

The Avila Fitness Center, equipped with state-of-the-art Technogym® machines, overlooks the glistening Caribbean Sea, motivating guests to stay active while staying inspired.
