PIETERMAAI DISTRICT: The ‘Soho’ of Curaçao

Where the historical meets and merges with modern…
Pietermaai District is strategically located in the heart of Curaçao’s capital, Willemstad, a UNESCO ‘World Heritage site’. The Caribbean feel and the rustic elegance of cafés, bars, restaurants, shops, apartments, hotels and breath-taking architecture create a lively, cozy and magical neighborhood; no matter what your interests are, Pietermaai District is a must visit when travelling to Curaçao.

Curaçao is a melting pot of cultures and because of its lively ambiance and rich cultural heritage, Pietermaai District is often referred to as the ‘Soho’ of Curaçao.

As of the year 2000 Pietermaai District has undergone a major metamorphosis. Not all the monuments have been restored yet, but this is what gives the area its unique, historical and rustic edge. Originally a residential neighborhood in the early 18th century, Pietermaai District was once founded because of shortness of space within the city-walls of Down-town Punda. Now, home to many trendy establishments it is a perfect merger of the historical, classic and modern, where old meets new…

Pietermaai District is constantly bursting with activities and is very well-known for its event’s. It is a lively experience and has an atmosphere that makes it a must visit destination for nightlife entertaining and fine dining or just a well-made cocktail after a busy day.

This vacation was awesome. We arrived a little late and Don was waiting for us at the apartment. He had to change us to the apartment AQUA, which is next door to the LUNA apartment. That one was even nicer! We had everything we needed. Air-conditioned bedroom, a small kitchen fully equipped and a great terrace at the ocean! We loved to sit there listening to the waves. The neighborhood was really good, a lot of good restaurants and nice bars. Everything in walking distance. We rented a car for the beach days, because the beaches are nicer in the north of the island. Don and his wife were always there for questions and recommendations, which was quite good and convenient in a new surrounding. We felt safe and were good hosted. And the end he allowed me to take the shells from the terrace back home and now they are a good memory for us! We definitely recommend Don as a host and his apartment for a super vacation!

Great place for solo traveler. Centrally located so if you don't mind spending your time in Punda, you can get by without a car (but since I need to get around the island, I had one on hand). One day I needed a jump and Don was very helpful in finding cables and getting the car started. Apartment is what you see in the pics. Great balcony, bedroom has a/c and there is ESPN so you can still watch the game. The sofa is a little small, but soft. One thing to note, is you might need to pay for some electricity. I used a/c at night and ceiling fan during the day. My usage was about 10kw/day, which works out to 5 guilders - very reasonable. Next time I will book for a month! Thanks, Don. Your a great host!

Don and his wife were the perfect hosts. Their house is beautiful and had everything you need to relax and unwind at the end of a fantastic day in Curacao all with an ocean view. Don set us up with two of the best dive masters you could ever find, arranged a rental car, and provided great tips and guidance during our entire stay. Wonderful people, beautiful house, perfect vacation. We highly recommend renting from Don. You will love it!

Don was a very gracious host. He went out of his way to make us comfortable and helped to make my family's trip stress less. We appreciate all he did by picking and dropping us off at the airport on our arrival and departure, giving us tips etc. We will definitely go back to visit Curacao and highly recommend him. Thanks Don

The apartment is very good and actually nicer than shown in the Pictures! We didnt see pictures of the bedroom before arriving so we didnt know what to expect but it is actually great! The whole apartment is lovely and the balcony is perfect! We could spend hours sitting there. Don is a great host and very helpful. He managed to get us a rental car when all stores were closed. I would definitely go back to Curacao and stay in the exact same apartment.
