It is a peaceful tranquil and happy island. Some 20% of the island is covered by a magnificent National Park. Holidaying in Aruba is said to be unhurried and relaxing.

Bonaire is famous for its white beaches and magic water of true blue Caribbean colour. It is a place known for diving, wind surfing, snorkeling and kayaking.
Bonaire has a long history of maintaining the delicate balance between environmental protection and growth while maintaining nature and culture.
We chose to colour our Lake house blue to reflect the sky and pristine waters of the Bonaire Island
The word Curacao in Portuguese means heart. The island in the 16th and 17th centuries among Portuguese sailors had a reputation as an island of healing. Sailors suffering scurvy would often be miraculously cured after spending time on this island. The island is famous for its colourful buildings painted in a rainbow of pastel colours.
The 19th century Governor-General of Curacao issued a decree to the citizens to paint their houses any colour other than white as he attributed the reflection from the sun on the white buildings to his migraines. We thus have chosen an elegant green to reflect on of these pastel colours.
A hidden wetland treasure surrounded by floodplain forest and rainforests. Look out over the calm waters and you’ll see World Heritage-listed Wollumbin National Park with the majestic Mount Warning dominated in the west.
Cudgen Lake is in Cudgen Nature Reserve. It is home to plenty of birdlife, making it a great spot for bird watching.
