Choosing the Right Property - What to Ask Yourself
Every property in our portfolio is different. To help you narrow it down, ask yourself:
• How important is waking up right on the beach?
• Do you want a private pool, or are shared pools fine?
• How many bedrooms do you need?
• Are you looking for the most luxurious option, or the best value?

1. Blue Emerald Ocean Suites - Beachfront Living at its Finest
If waking up to the sound of waves and stepping onto your balcony to a panoramic view of the Caribbean Sea is your idea of a perfect holiday, the Ocean Suites are your answer. Nestled in three colorful beachfront buildings - the Yellow, Blue, and Green - right on the shores of Blue Bay Beach & Golf Resort, these apartments represent the most sought-after addresses on the entire resort. They are consistently our guests' top favorites, and it's easy to see why.
The crown jewels of the collection are Ocean Suite 5 and Ocean Suite 7, both 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom apartments in the Green building. Positioned on the first and second floors respectively, they offer arguably the best views on the entire resort - sweeping ocean panoramas, direct beach sightlines, and legendary Caribbean sunsets right from your balcony. Ocean Suite 5 features a fully renovated master bathroom, while Ocean Suite 7 is currently undergoing a complete transformation - new flooring, kitchen, bathrooms, and furniture - making it one of the freshest apartments on the resort upon completion.
In the Blue building, Ocean Suite 11 and Ocean Suite 13 offer comfortable 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom layouts with pleasant beach and ocean views. Ocean Suite 13 also features a newly renovated master bathroom. These are a great option for smaller groups or couples seeking beachfront living at a slightly more accessible price point.
Ocean Suite 23, in the Yellow building, is a cozy 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment on the second floor with partial ocean and beach views - the most budget-friendly entry point into beachfront living at Blue Bay.
All buildings are equipped with elevators, a shared community pool, and fast Wi-Fi. Bear in mind these buildings are around 15 years old, so while they carry a charming, lived-in character, the finish level in unrenovated units reflects their age.

2. The Shore - Beachfront Luxury with a Private Touch
If privacy, security and modern comfort are at the top of your wish list, The Shore is in a league of its own. Situated right on the beach of Blue Bay Beach & Golf Resort, this newer complex sits within its own gated perimeter - inside an already gated resort - making it one of the most exclusive and secure addresses on the island. Only Shore guests can access the premises, the stunning shared infinity pool, and the private key fob gate that leads you directly onto the beach. No crowds, no detours, just you and the Caribbean Sea.
We rent four apartments here, ranging from 2 to 3 bedrooms, spread across different floors of the building. All units share the same wow-factor: large front-facing balconies with sweeping views over the infinity pool, the beach and the ocean. Every apartment is generously sized, modern, and fully equipped - think full kitchens with dishwasher, ice maker fridge, Nespresso, smart TVs with Firestick, fast Wi-Fi and elevator access.
Shore 8 is the ground floor option - a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit, ideal for guests who prefer easy beach access without stairs or lifts. Shore 16 and Shore 31 are both spacious 175m2 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom suites on the 2nd and 3rd floor respectively. Shore 31 also has a bonus rear balcony overlooking the golf course. Shore 19 is the largest unit - a 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom suite on the 3rd floor, perfect for families or groups wanting that extra space and an extra half bathroom.

3. The Ridge Penthouse - Your Own Private Paradise
For those who want it all, The Ridge Penthouse delivers. This is the most premium property in the Lovely Villas Curacao portfolio at Blue Bay, and it shows in every detail. A sprawling 3-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom apartment finished with high-quality furniture, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, 4 smart TVs, and most importantly - your own private infinity pool on the terrace, with a breathtaking view over the Caribbean Sea.
The terrace is genuinely the centerpiece here. It's large enough for a full outdoor dining setup, a lounge area, beach chairs and the pool, all while soaking in one of the most spectacular panoramas the resort has to offer. Whether you're having a morning coffee watching the ocean or an evening swim under the stars, this space is hard to beat.
The Ridge sleeps up to 6 guests across 3 en-suite bedrooms, making it ideal for families or a group of friends who want space, comfort and privacy without compromise. A private gated staircase leads directly down to Blue Bay Beach, so the sand and sea are just steps away - beach access and sun loungers are included in your stay.
The apartment is fully self-contained with everything from a dishwasher and Nespresso machine to a safe, hairdryer and ample closet space. Weekly pool service and mid-stay cleaning for 7-night stays are taken care of.

4. Triple Tree - Intimate Ocean Views for Two
Not every great holiday needs a big group. Triple Tree is the perfect proof of that. This elegant 1-bedroom condo is designed for two, and it does exactly what a couples' getaway should - wake up to ocean views, unwind on a spacious terrace with a ceiling fan and lounge area, and end the day watching the Caribbean sun dip below the horizon.
The apartment is compact but smart in its layout. A cozy bedroom, bright living room, fully equipped kitchen, walk-in closet, guest toilet, and even a dedicated storage room with washing machine and dryer - everything is there, nothing feels crammed. The terrace is genuinely one of the standout features, offering a dining setup and lounge area with that sea view as your permanent backdrop.
The kitchen is fully kitted out with a dishwasher, Nespresso, filter coffee, combination oven and all the usual appliances. A smart TV with Firestick covers your entertainment, fast Wi-Fi is included, and the basics - coffee, olive oil, dishwasher tablets and more - are stocked on arrival. Air conditioning in both the bedroom and living area keeps things cool.
Beach access and sun loungers are included, and the resort's restaurants, golf course, diving school and pool are all just a short walk away. There's also a swimming pool right in front of the building, and an elevator for easy access.

5. The Breeze - Fresh, Modern and Pool-Side Comfort
The Breeze lives up to its name. This newer, fully furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom apartment offers a relaxed, modern base at Blue Bay Beach & Golf Resort - without the beachfront price tag. It's a great option for those who want contemporary comfort, generous space and easy access to everything the resort has to offer, at a more accessible rate.
The apartment is well laid out with an open kitchen, living room, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a spacious terrace with a dining table and seating area. One of the practical standouts here is the ceiling fans in every room and on the terrace - a nice touch that keeps things comfortable even when you switch the air conditioning off. Smart TV with Firestick, fast Wi-Fi, and full kitchen appliances are all included.
What The Breeze trades in direct beachfront access, it makes up for in poolside living - there are two large shared swimming pools on the property, which is more than most locations on the resort can offer. The beach, golf course and restaurants are all within easy walking distance, and beach access with sun loungers is included in your stay.
It's worth noting that The Breeze is one of the more straightforward units in the portfolio - no private pool, no sea-view terrace. But for couples or small families looking for a clean, modern and well-priced stay in one of Curacao's best resort settings, it's a very solid choice.

6. The Garden - Great Value, Resort Living at a Relaxed Pace
Not every stay needs to be right on the beach to be a great one. The Garden, part of the Indigo Garden complex at Blue Bay Beach & Golf Resort, is the ideal choice for guests who want a comfortable, recently upgraded base on the resort - at the most budget-friendly price point in the Lovely Villas Curaçao lineup.
The apartment is a 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom corner unit on the first floor, with an open kitchen, living room and a spacious balcony with ceiling fans and a partial view over the resort and even a sliver of sea. It has recently been fully upgraded with new furniture and fresh linens throughout, so while the building itself is older, the interior feels clean and contemporary.
The beach is a short 3-minute drive away - not walking distance like the beachfront properties, but beach access and sun loungers are still fully included in your stay. On the resort itself, a large shared swimming pool is just a one-minute walk, and the golf course, tennis courts and restaurants are all close by. Tennis is free, just bring your own rackets.
A fun extra - a Kia Sportage rental is available through the host, handy for exploring the island or making that quick drive to the beach.
The trade-off here is clear - you're further from the water than the other properties, and there's no beachfront ambiance. But for families or couples who want solid comfort, a fresh interior and full resort access at a great rate, The Garden delivers exactly that.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Blue Bay Beach & Golf Resort worth it for a holiday in Curaçao?
Yes - it consistently ranks as one of the best places to stay in Curaçao, particularly for families, couples and anyone who values a safe, complete resort environment. You get a private beach, golf course, multiple restaurants and watersports all in one gated location, 10 minutes from Willemstad. It’s especially well-suited to guests who want the flexibility to both relax at the resort and explore the island.
What is the difference between Blue Bay Beach Resort and a regular hotel?
Blue Bay is a resort community rather than a hotel - meaning you stay in a fully equipped apartment or condo(with full kitchen, living room, terrace and more) rather than a standard hotel room. This makes it ideal for longer stays, families, or anyone who prefers the space and privacy of a home away from home. It also typically works out significantly cheaper per night than a comparable hotel stay, especially if you book direct.
Why Book Directly with Lovely Villas Curaçao?
All 6 properties above are managed by us directly - meaning when you book through our website, you skip the Airbnb and Booking.com platform fees entirely. That’s typically a 15-20%saving compared to what you’d pay on those platforms for the exact same apartment. You also get direct communication with us before, during and after your stay - no middleman, no automated replies. We know every property inside and out and we’re here to help you choose the right one.
Which property at Blue Bay is best for a honeymoon or romantic trip?
Triple Tree is our top pick for couples - it’s an intimate 1-bedroom with ocean views and a great terrace at a very accessible price. For a more luxurious honeymoon, The Ridge Penthouse is the most special option on the resort, with a private infinity pool and panoramic Caribbean views. The Shore apartments also work beautifully for couples who want beachfront access with a modern, upscale feel.
Which property is best for families with children?
Shore 19 (3 bed/3.5 bath) and Ocean Suite 5 or 7 (3 bed/3 bath) are the most popular with families. The Shore in particular offers excellent security - it’s gated within the already gated resort - and direct beach access. For families on a budget, Indigo Garden offers a comfortable, recently upgraded 2-bedroom with pool access and the option to rent a car through the host.
Is Blue Bay better than Airbnb options in Curaçao?
Booking directly with us through our website gives you a better rate than Airbnb for the same properties -Airbnb adds platform fees of 15-20% on top of the base price. You also get direct contact with the hosts (us), flexible communication, and local knowledge to help plan your stay. We’re based in Curaçao and know the island well.
How far is Blue Bay Beach Resort from Willemstad?
Blue Bay is approximately 10minutes by car from Willemstad - close enough to visit easily for a day of sightseeing, shopping or dining, but far enough to feel like a proper beach getaway away from the city. Most guests rent a car for their stay, which also makes it easy to reach other beaches on the island.
What is there to do at Blue Bay Beach Resort besides the beach?
Quite a lot. The resort has an 18-hole championship golf course, a dive and watersports center, two tennis courts, a jeu de boules court, a sculpture garden, a WWII museum, and several restaurants. Just outside the resort, beaches like Kokomo, Boka Sami and PirateBay are a few minutes away, and Willemstad is a 10-minute drive with excellent restaurants, shopping and nightlife.
Can I snorkel directly at Blue Bay Beach?
Yes - Blue Bay Beach has one of the better snorkeling spots in Curaçao right off the shore. The water is calm and clear, and you can rent snorkeling equipment from the dive center on the beach. Several of our beachfront properties also have direct or near-direct access to the snorkeling area.
What is the best time of year to visit Blue Bay Curaçao?
Curaçao sits outside the hurricane belt and has warm, sunny weather year-round, with temperatures between 26-32°C. The busiest period is December through April (European and American winter/spring break season). If you prefer quieter beaches and slightly lower rates, May through November is a good window - the trade winds keep it comfortable even in the warmer months.
Is it safe to stay at Blue Bay Beach & Golf Resort?
Yes. Blue Bay is a gated resort with 24/7 security, making it one of the safest places to stay on the island. Properties like The Shore and The Ridge have an additional gated perimeter with key fob access. Guests can walk around the resort freely in the evenings and feel completely at ease. Curaçao as a whole is considered a safe destination for tourists.
