Avila

Avila Beach Hotel lies right on the sea in the historic Pietermaai district, close to the centre of Willemstad. The hotel has a long history and combines a classic Caribbean look with modern beach facilities. Thanks to its sheltered beaches, restaurants and its location close to the city centre, Avila is an attractive spot for visitors who want to combine beach and culture.

Sheltered beaches close to the city

A striking feature of Avila is that the hotel has two sheltered beach areas. Breakwaters protect the swimming areas from much of the wave action. This creates a relatively calm environment where guests can swim and relax.

Sun loungers and parasols line the beach. The hotel also has a swimming pool with a view over the sea. This combination makes Avila interesting for visitors who do not want to depend on a single beach activity.

Also accessible to day visitors

Avila offers beach packages for people who are not staying at the hotel. With a day pass, visitors can, depending on the package chosen, use the beach, sun loungers and certain additional facilities. There are also packages that include lunch.

Conditions and availability may change. Please enquire in advance about the current day passes and reserve where necessary. That way you avoid being refused access to the facilities you want on arrival.

A drink at the historic Schooner Bar

A special part of Avila is the Schooner Bar. This beach bar has existed since 1959 and is a well-known meeting place by the sea. You can enjoy drinks and small dishes there, with a view over the Caribbean Sea.

The hotel also regularly organises musical activities. This makes Avila not only a quiet beach location, but also a place to enjoy an evening by the sea in a relaxed way.

By rental car to Avila

Avila Beach Hotel is located on the Penstraat in Pietermaai. It is easy to reach by car from Willemstad. The hotel offers parking.

You can combine a beach day at Avila with a visit to the restaurants of Pietermaai, the historic streets of Punda and the famous Koningin Emmabrug. This makes Avila a good fit for visitors seeking luxury and relaxation without being far from the centre.
