Jan Thiel & surroundings
The Jan Thiel salt pans are within walking distance and make a pleasant early walk. Jan Thiel Beach is about 2.2 miles (3.5 km) away, TUI says Mambo Beach is within around a ten-minute drive, and central Willemstad is about 5.6 miles (9 km) away. TUK therefore gives you a quiet base in the east without putting beach and city far away.
- Jan Thiel works well if you want beach, restaurants, watersports and a lively evening atmosphere close together.
- Caracas Bay is nearby and popular for snorkeling and diving; Spanish Water and Fort Beekenburg also fit naturally into a day on this side of the island.
- For a proper West Curaçao beach day, a rental car is still the most useful addition.

The tropical garden and pool show why TUK feels different from a large resort: smaller, greener and closer to having your own vacation home in Curaçao.
