Spanish Water / Jan Thiel
About the Spanish Water
The Spanish Water has always been an inviting harbor, ever since the Arawak indians reached the island with their small rowing boats. Excavations have taught us that these first inhabitants of Curacao settled at, among other places, the mouth of the bay, the current location of the Hyatt Regency Hotel golf resort. The area was also of critical importance to Spanish and Dutch conquerors, which is why the latter built the historical Fort Beekenburg. Today the Spanish Water is more popular than ever. Amidst the hilly green landscape, you can admire the stunning villas of celebrities, professional athletes and even the Dutch royal family. The bay is a true paradise for yacht owners, water sports aficionados and pleasure seekers. As a guest of La Maya Beach, the Spanish Water is your home as well, which is why we will be happy to show you around its restaurants and things to do.
