This recently built villa, with a spacious swimming pool, is located at Seru Boca Estate in Santa Barbara Plantation. Within walking distance to the Santa Barbara Beach & Golf Resort. The resort features 350 rooms, several restaurants and shops, beach and watersports facilities and an 18- holes golf course, all right at your doorstep. Santa Barbara Plantation and Seru Boca Estate is a 24h secured resort by both land and sea.
THE DESIGN
The villa is designed by the renowned local architect David Bohorquez who was inspired by the Plantation Houses of Curacao. The layout consists of (1) main single-story building connected to a second building incorporating the main bedroom complex, (2) a separate two-story annex consisting of a spacious guest bedroom suite equipped with a full bathroom, a walk-in closet - and a study/bedroom with a balcony providing spectacular views and (3) a fourth building providing a two-car garage, utility room/additional bedroom, a guest bathroom and a large storage room. With regard to layout, finishing and materials used, this villa meets all the needs and demands of modern living.
The materials chosen all require minimal maintenance. The architect considered all important factors for living in Curacao. The property is very well positioned with respect to the trade winds and sun trajectory making it feel pleasant year-round due to the cross ventilation throughout. There is little direct sunlight entering the various rooms. All doors and window are equipped with bug screens which also assist with ventilation.
LAYOUT
The living area consists of an open plan kitchen, living-area and dining-area and enjoys a so-called Cathedral Ceiling with several ceiling fans. Due to the height of the ceiling the temperature in the living-room is always pleasant. Via a great number of aluminum sliding doors, the living-area is directly connected with the spacious covered-front-porch and beautiful back patio.
The European kitchen is equipped with high quality luxury appliances and the countertop is made of Caesar Stone. The bathrooms are likewise European and of high quality.
Attached to the main building is the master bedroom suite (consisting of a sleeping area, walk-in closet and a luxurious and spacious bathroom) plus a second bedroom/TV room/study equipped with an AC.
Separate from the main-building is the functional annex:
· Ground floor: Spacious guest bedroom with a full bath and walk-in closet;
· 2ndFloor: A functional study featuring a balcony with unobstructed views of Spanish Waters, the Tafelberg and Seru Boca mountains.
POOL
The infinity pool, adjacent to the front-porch, is in excess of 11m in length and is therefore a perfect exercise amenity - and with its pool lights provides a remarkable evening experience.
GARDEN
The garden is beautifully and painstakingly landscaped and features many tropical trees and plants that are either native to the island, or have very little need for water.
OTHER
- The property has an underground water cistern to which all roof gutters are connected. The cistern water is used for the pool and irrigation of the garden.
- Hot water is provided by two roof mounted solar water heaters.
- All rooms are connected for fiber optic internet and television.
- All roofs fully insulated.
- The property is particularly energy efficient enjoying low utility costs.

GolfUSA Today awarded the golf course at St. Barbara Resort with the number one award:
Best Caribbean Golf Course of 2018 and 2019. "The Pete Dye-designed Old Quarry course at the Santa Barbara Golf & Beach Resort in Curacao affords views of both the Caribbean and the craggy limestone formations of Mount Tafelberg. The course itself is characterized by wide, rolling fairways, raised greens and a sense of seclusion thanks to separations between holes."
