Why this matters in Curacao
Jan Thiel is easy for beach days, but a car opens Westpunt, Shete Boka, and Willemstad.
Explore beyond the beach club
Jan Thiel is one of the most popular tourist bases in Curacao, with beach clubs, resorts, restaurants, and watersports close together.
It is a comfortable place to stay, but the famous western beaches are 55 to 65 minutes away by car. A rental gives you the freedom to turn Jan Thiel into a base for the whole island.
