Serenity in the city
Four old houses we brought back to life, our tropical courtyard with two pools, and the heart of Willemstad on your doorstep.

An oasis of calm in vibrant Pietermaai — where blue skies meet the whispers of history.
Pietermaai Oasis is our boutique hotel in four old buildings, two of them historic monuments, that stood empty and derelict for years — and that we brought back to life, beam by beam. Sixteen individually designed rooms and apartments now surround our tropical courtyard with two pools, and James, our own daytime diner next door, brings breakfast and lunch right to your sunbed.
Meet your hosts
"When we first walked through these houses, the shutters had been closed for years."
Rain came through the roofs and the courtyard was overgrown — but underneath were four beautiful old buildings, two of them among Pietermaai's finest monuments. We restored them beam by beam, planted the garden, filled the pools, and opened the doors again.
The houses are alive once more, and we get to share them with you. No front desk, no name badges — if you need anything, you simply message Dee. That, to us, is the whole point.

Pietermaai
The first neighbourhood ever built outside the old city walls of Willemstad, Pietermaai is where Curaçao's history feels most alive. Pastel-coloured monuments line streets that fill with espresso in the morning and live jazz at night, and the Caribbean Sea is at the end of the block.
Stay here and you need no car: cafés, restaurants, the boulevard and the UNESCO-listed inner city are all a short walk from our front door.

James
James is our own daytime diner, right next to the hotel — and really an extension of your stay. It's where the neighbourhood has its first coffee, where breakfast stretches into lunch, and where you'll probably end up chatting with us or with other guests.
Staying at the Oasis means James comes to you too: on request we bring breakfast and lunch right to your sunbed at the pool. It makes us the only hotel in Pietermaai with its own daytime diner next door — which is why breakfast here doesn’t stop at ten.
- OpenEvery day, 7:30 – 15:00
- BreakfastUS$ 21.50 p.p., or à la carte

Tropical courtyard
Two pools surrounded by monument facades and palms — in the middle of the city, completely still.
Monuments, reborn
These houses stood derelict for years. We restored them beam by beam — now they live again, and every room has its own character.
