Summary from reviews

Travelers consistently praise this private beach experience for its secluded, pristine setting and the warm hospitality of the host. The picnic, featuring local ingredients and homemade dishes, is a highlight, along with thoughtful touches like biodegradable supplies and clear communication. Guests enjoy snorkeling in crystal-clear water, spotting wildlife, and the overall eco-friendly, personalized atmosphere. The host's check-ins and attention to dietary needs are appreciated. While the experience is highly recommended, some mention the host's dog, Nala, as a charming addition.

Based on recent traveler reviews.

Our team's take

Landhuis San Nicolas also does a morning version of the beach picnic. Willemijn meets you at the estate first for a quick history tour, then you walk down the stairs to your own private beach. She sends you off with a proper 3-course spread plus iced coffee or fresh juice, and honestly we just stayed put for hours, swimming, eating, doing nothing. Water shoes are a must, the entry is rocky. It's romantic if you want it to be, but just as nice with friends or family, really just about having some quality time together.

Amazing private beach

Private and beautiful location, the owner/host is amazing. She gave us a tour before hand. Food was very delicious and plated nicely. The location also host private events and weddings. I'm going back in November and I can't wait.

If you’re looking for a private beach experience that feels like stepping into a real-life treasure map — this is it. Landhuis San Nicolas gave us an unforgettable day at one of Curaçao’s most beautiful and hidden beaches. Everything was done with such heart: from the eco-friendly setup, to the local ingredients, to the way they protect the nature around you so you feel like you’re part of something special (and you are!). We snorkeled in crystal-clear water right off the beach, and enjoyed a picnic that felt like a dream: homemade juices, local flavors, and the purest island vibe you can imagine. The attention to detail is incredible — even the trash bags are biodegradable! We were also greeted by the sweetest dog, Nala, she’s such a gentle, loving soul — a true island treasure herself! It’s not just another beach day — it’s a full experience of connection: with nature, with each other, and with Curaçao itself. We left with sandy feet, full hearts, and memories we’ll never forget. Highly recommend it to anyone who wants something real, private, eco-friendly, and absolutely unforgettable. The Treasure is Out There… and sometimes, it’s waiting for you at Landhuis San Nicolas.

Total Pivet beach Bliss OMG

Words cannot explain in detail how amazing this private beach experience was from the minute I was given clear instructions on how to enter the beautiful 750 acre pristine untouched private land I was simply amazed. Prior to my reservation I was contacted by the host and was asked several questions if I had any dietary restrictions or any special needs for my private beach experience. I was giving clear instructions on how to check in which that experience was just simply amazing. The beautiful birds and wildlife that I encountered from the gate entrance to the private beach was mind blowing. I arrived at the private beach, walk down and was greeted with an amazing picnic table with a 4 course picnic Champagne, sparkling water, ice chest glasses, silverware everything you needed to have an amazing sunset picnic experience, including two beach lounge chairs, and Sunsail shade! What an incredible property completely and 100% private the beach was simply pristine calm Waters beautiful setting to enjoy a epic Curaçao sunset. My host on two occasions during my six hour stay message me to make sure that I was safe and sound, and that I was enjoying everything that was provided which I did! The food that was prepared was handcrafted and exceeded my expectations, homemade hummus, celery, and carrot sticks a garden salad with homemade dressing corkscrew pesto pasta served with fresh tomatoes was out of this world and to top it off homemade Keylime pie that I need the recipe for as soon as the chef wants to share those secrets lololol after the sun went up hill I made my way back to my rental car visited to Host “Who lives on property approximately 1 km away from the beach”to thank her! on the off property I experienced a wild island deer which are very rare to spot on the island which was a great way to close out my epic Sunset journey on this private beach thank you so very much and look forward to coming back very soon
