Lodge Kura Begins Villa Construction
JANUARY 3, 2007. Lodge Kura Hulanda & Beach Club, a five-star boutique resort on the west end of Curacao, will break ground on its exclusive Kalki Caribbean Villas this month.
This vacation home community within the Lodge Kura Hulanda's master planned neighborhood will feature 18 spectacular three bedroom, three bathroom villas - slated for completion by December 2008.
Lodge Kura "Curacao is an easy island to fall in love with and the demand is certainly here for a second home on this incredibly unique island," stated Paul Siegel, Project Director. "In general, real estate sales continue to be quite strong throughout most of the Caribbean region and very strong on Curacao in particular, despite the downturn in both sales and property values in the United States. When prospective buyers view our property and the development itself, they are impressed with the quality of the product and the comparative cost of ownership."
Built atop a stone bluff, each 2,300 square foot villa will afford sweeping ocean views. A two-story great room, marble floors throughout, granite kitchen countertops, top of the line appliances, and designer furnishings are just a sampling of the quality and luxury these accommodations will offer. Upstairs, the master suite features a private oceanfront patio, his and hers walk-in closets and a Jacuzzi tub in the master bath. To top it off, each villa has a private stone terrace showcasing a gazebo and private plunge pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea. The villas, which are currently available for purchase, start at $850,000.
Owners enjoy all the privileges and amenities of Lodge Kura Hulanda & Beach Club including a free-form swimming pool, beach access, dive shop, business center with internet access, tennis courts, spa services, fitness center, restaurants and more. Further, if desired, homeowners have the option to place their villa in the hotel rental program when not in use.
In addition to the Kalki Caribbean Villas, the Lodge Kura Hulanda community also has plots of land available for purchase to build and design distinctive homes as well as the opportunity to purchase the individual studios and suites that make up the Lodge.
"Our buyers are people who have found their place in the sun and want to take advantage of the lifestyle and quality of life that Curacao and Lodge Kura Hulanda have to offer," Siegel said.
Nestled in the tranquil and idyllic setting of Curacao's west end, the Lodge Kura Hulanda and Beach Club, which opened September 2005, offers a luxurious ambiance coupled with a relaxing beachfront retreat and the seclusion of a unique island hideaway. Featuring a beautiful, white sand beach and a spectacular swimming pool, Lodge Kura Hulanda and Beach Club offers a serene getaway where guests will feel like they are on their own private island. Guests can experience world class diving, hiking, cycling and adventure within feet of the resort while just 30 minutes away, downtown Willemstad offers the enjoyment of diverse culture, dining, shopping and nightlife.
