Avila Beach Hotel - European Plan

The Avila Hotel combines the elegance of the past with all the luxurious amenities you've come to expect from a modern resort. The 18th century Governor's mansion is located at the heart of the property and includes the main entrance and reception area. The Avila Hotel's rich history, proximity to downtown Willemstad and reputation for personal service makes it a top destination for savvy travelers from all over the world.

Nestled around a late-1700s Dutch Colonial mansion, this multi-section hotel once served as the original Curacao governor's residence before it transformed into the hotel's lobby. Back then, the mansion was referred to as La Belle Alliance. While it's no longer the governor's mansion, it's heritage and namesake are still seen throughout the hotel. Want to see something really cool? Check out the vermilion recital hall. This beautiful structure is home to a number of chamber-music festivals that frequent the resort several times a year.

Guests will also have access to the resort's two private beaches, both of which feature thatched shades and lush swimming coves that are protected by rock breakwaters. With snorkeling-and-scuba reefs just beyond the shore, divers of the deep will have access to Curacao's best diving and snorkeling. If you'd rather stay closer to home, a freshwater infinity pool provides a cool alternative to the sea. If you're looking for a little "you time," the hotel's full-service spa offers a number of refreshing treatments including a water massage in the sea, a couples massage, the After Sun Aloe Wrap and an awesome beach side Sunset Massage. The wellness center also offers fitness equipment, a personal trainer, saunas, steam rooms and panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea to help you achieve utmost health and relaxation.

If you're still hungry for more, visit the Octagon, a tower-like house with a domed roof, you'll see where Venezuelan liberator Simon Bolivar spent his time before setting out in the early 19th century to free Venezuela (and eventually all South America) from Spanish colonial rule. When his first revolt failed, he retreated to Curacao, and his two sisters moved into Octagon. Today the house is a museum devoted to Bolivar and curious guests can take guided tours for an additional charge.

If you're looking for the best that Curacao has to offer, look no further than Avila Hotel, where you'll enjoy a vacay to historic paradise!
