Two sheltered beaches and Pietermaai’s restaurants within walking distance
A morning swim, lunch by the sea and dinner in Pietermaai: Avila Beach Hotel makes it easy to combine a beach holiday with Willemstad. Its historic setting and three distinct accommodation wings give you plenty of choice, from oceanfront rooms for couples to apartments with room for the family.
Avila’s three wings have different styles. The contemporary Octagon wing includes the spacious Octagon Deluxe rooms. The more classical La Belle Alliance wing offers rooms and apartments, while the wooden Oceanfront Blues rooms sit on a pier and accommodate two adults.
Want an uninterrupted sea view? Compare Oceanfront Blues and La Belle Alliance Oceanfront. Other categories may overlook the garden or plaza, or offer only partial sea views. Choose the view stated in your room description rather than relying on the hotel’s general photographs.
For separate bedrooms and self-catering, consider a La Belle Alliance or Beachfront apartment. Check the number of bedrooms, kitchen facilities and floor level: a sea-facing balcony is different from a ground-floor terrace with beach access.
Two beaches protected by breakwaters offer sheltered swimming areas. Loungers and beach towels are provided for hotel guests. There is also an infinity pool, a fitness centre with sea views and the Cloud Nine Spa. Book treatments separately and check the current activity programme if you would like to join a class.
Rooms have air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a small refrigerator and coffee and tea facilities. These everyday comforts make it easy to enjoy some downtime between outings.
The Pen serves meals beside the beach, Blues offers dining at the end of the pier, and the Schooner Bar is a relaxed spot for drinks and light bites. Nearby Pietermaai restaurants give you more choice without needing to drive to every dinner.

We would shortlist Avila for a holiday that combines beach time with eating out and exploring Willemstad. Its appeal is having both close at hand. Choose your wing carefully: the room’s setting and view are a big part of the experience here.
