BON BINI We proudly present to you, the 2016 edition of the CHATA-accommodation brochure. In this brochure all accommodations of current CHATA members will be displayed. Each and every one of these are unique and beautiful accommodations on Curaçao.

Curaçao, is the biggest island of the ABC islands and offers the ultimate holiday experience for many vacationers. The island has a great climate, the people are known to make a party out of everything and with its clear blue waters the island is also an excellent destination for the watersports fanatics.

Curaçao has a rich history that is tangibly present and visible on many places on the island, yet the island remains in constant development. Contemporary architecture, new museums, and especially many trendy restaurants are characteristics of the island. For example the Pietermaai district has gone through an amazing transformation over the last few years from a working-class quarter to a trendy and lively nightlife district.

A definite must for lovers of a great ambiance and delicious food.

Curaçao is in full development and is the island that you’re going to love! We hope to be able to welcome you soon on our Dushi Korsou!

With kind regards, CHATA TEAM -3-

GENERAL INFORMATION In the southern Caribbean Sea, approximately 40 miles north of the Venezuelan coast, lies the beautiful island of Curaçao. Together with its neighbors, Aruba & Bonaire, it forms the soºcalled ABC islands. Curaçao has a land area of 172 square miles and is about 40 miles long stretching from southeast to northwest and about 10 miles wide.

Dutch and Papiamentu are the official languages on Curaçao, Papiamentu is the most common spoken language. Papiamentu is a multifaceted Creole language based on a remarkable blend of Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch and several African dialects. Spanish and English are also widely spoken.

Curaçao has a rather dry landscape due to scant rainfall and is for the most part flat but unique. Whilst the north side is rough and the waves thunder against the limestone cliffs, the south side coastline offers many little bays and inlets perfect for swimming and snorkeling. Most of the residents live here and the capital, Willemstad, is located here.

The west side is characterized by expansive, hilly terrain with the highest point Mt. Christoffel at 1230 feet, offering a stunning view over the island. The east side of the island has a mostly flat and barren plain surface with only a few settlements. Located just above the equator, Curaçao has an excellent year-round climate.

The island is mostly warm and pleasant with an average temperature of about 27° C with cooling trade winds blowing constantly from the north-east. Curaçao generally experiences scant rainfall with the most rain occurring during the rainy season between October and February, which is usually marked by short, occasional showers, mostly at night, and continued sunny weather during the day. Hurricane season lasts from early June to November, however the island is located outside of the hurricane belt and experiences little storm activities.

According to the last count there are about 154.000 inhabitants in Curaçao. The island’s population comes from a number of ethnic backgrounds due to its rich history. Curaçao represents about 107 different nationalities amongst those is a majority of Afro-Caribbean of African descent, and also sizeable minorities of Dutch, Latin American, French, Asian, Portuguese descent.

Curaçao has something for everyone. Its beautiful white sandy beaches and clear blue water create the perfect atmosphere for any type of beach lover. Whether you simply enjoy relaxing under the sun or be active on the water either by kayaking, kiting, surfing or sailing, it is all there. An avid snorkeler, first-time diver or experienced diver, Curaçao offers a variety of dive sites suitable for any underwater explorer. If you’re looking for more adventure on land and you wish to explore the rough off-road paths you can take a Buggy or a ATV-tour. No matter where you go on the island or what you are going to do, you will be welcomed with a smile everywhere.

MAIN FACILITIES

ACTIVITIES

This Bed & Breakfast opened its doors in 2011 and was named Sombré di Kabana – meaning straw hat in Papiamentu – because of the owner's last name. Mr. Swarts realized his name backwards spells ‘straws’ and creatively he combined his name, the Papiamentu language and a piece of Curaçao culture into Sombré di Kabana.

The B&B is situated in the residential area Cas Grandi, about a half an hour drive from the airport and 15 minutes to downtown Willemstad. The beach of Jan Thiel and the adjacent supermarket at the Papagayo Plaza can be reached in less than 10 minutes.

Sombré di Kabana consists of 3 spacious double rooms, each with a private bathroom.

It refers to itself as a B&B+. Not only do they regard themselves as a plus accommodation because of the luxurious and extensive breakfast, but also because of the extensive service the hosts provide for their guests.
