Information

Restaurants

You will find various dining options on Jan Thiel beach. Koko's is a relatively new place that is generally visited by people who prefer peace and space. They have delicious fresh smoothies, healthy shakes and tasty lunch dishes. Koko's is open until sunset, so after a day at Koko's you can dine at the other restaurants on Jan Thiel beach such as Zanzibar. At Zanzibar you can eat delicious freshly baked pizzas but also order a grilled chicken. The sunsets are really beautiful. And Zanzibar is known for its happy hour on Saturdays from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM with live music. That means enjoying an Amstel Bright, in a pleasant temperature with your feet in the sand. Next to Zanzibar you will find the Tinto restaurant, a more exclusive restaurant in a Caribbean atmosphere, located directly on the sea. Here you can have a romantic dinner and enjoy a good piece of meat or fish. At Papagayo hotel you have 2 choices for lunch or dinner. Zest Mediterranean and Zest beach cafe. The Zest beach cafe is also great with children. The children do not necessarily have to stay at the table, but can play on the beach in the meantime. Just a very relaxed atmosphere. You can think of it as a kind of picnic on the beach. At Zest Mediterraan you can enjoy more luxury and a refined menu. Still looking forward to dessert after all that delicious food? Then take a look at Dulce, very popular among children. This is located next to the beach volleyball field and you can enjoy a delicious soft ice cream. It all happens on Jan Thiel Beach This is Jan Thiel's slogan and besides the fact that you can have a delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner, there are also various activities to do. If you like a good work out, you can rent a court, rackets and balls at beach tennis Curacao to play a game of beach tennis. There is also an 'open racket night' on Wednesday evening from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Always wanted to dive? That is also possible at Jan Thiel. At the Scuba Do Diving Center you can just walk in to discuss all the options. Definitely fun for children too! Flyboarding is a unique experience where you, as it were, fly above the water. This activity is possible from the age of 10. Zapata flyboard is located on the beach itself and flyboarding takes place directly on the bay. So if you don't want to try flyboarding yourself, it's fun just to watch it. If you prefer more relaxing activities, you can also take a boat trip from Jan Thiel beach. Blue Finn Charters and Bounty Adventures organize various boat trips such as snorkeling trips, sunset trips or a trip to Klein Curacao.

It all happens on Jan Thiel Beach

Dit is de slogan van Jan Thiel en er naast dat je er heerlijk kunt ontbijten, lunchen en dineren zijn er ook diverse activiteiten te doen. Hou je van een goede work out dan kun je bij beach tennis Curacao een baan, rackets en ballen huren om een potje beach tennis te spelen. Ook is er op de woensdagvond een ‘open racket night’ van 19:00-21:00. Altijd al willen duiken? Ook dat kan op Jan Thiel. Bij het Duikcentrum Scuba Do kun je zo even naar binnen lopen om alle mogelijkheden te bespreken. Zeker ook leuk voor kinderen! Flyboarden is een unieke ervaring waarbij je als het ware vliegt boven het water. Deze activiteit is al mogelijk vanaf 10 jaar. Zapata flyboard is gesitueerd op het strand zelf en het flyboarden gebeurt direct aan de baai. Dus mocht je zelf niet willen flyboarden dan is het ook erg leuk om alleen al naar te kijken.

If you prefer more relaxing activities, you can also take a boat trip from Jan Thiel beach. Blue Finn Charters and Bounty Adventures organize various boat trips such as snorkeling trips, sunset trips or a trip to Klein Curacao.
