Surrounded by remarkable scenery and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, the large inland bay known as Spanish Waters and Fuikbaai, a Caribbean inlet protected by a coral reef, Santa Barbara Plantation is one of the most exclusive master-planned residential resort communities in the Caribbean. With water vistas on three sides, residents at Santa Barbara Plantation will welcome the spectacular views of colorful Caribbean sunsets as well as the panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and the beautiful white sand beaches.
The combination of the rugged terrain, Tafelberg Mountain, the Caribbean Sea and the Spanish Waters Bay creates a world class setting for Old Quarry, the resort's 18-hole championship golf course designed by Pete Dye, a 5-star Hyatt Regency Hotel and the full-service Seru Boca Marina. Additional amenities for residents and their guests include fine and casual dining, a tennis center, business center, outdoor swimming pools and boutique retail shops.
Located in the southern Caribbean, Curacao is part of the Netherlands Antilles and is considered among the last of the few remaining unspoiled island paradises in the entire world. Gentle trade winds combined with low humidity and year-round mild temperatures render the island the ideal destination for a second home, retirement or permanent residence. In addition, Curacao lies outside the hurricane belt and is generally unaffected by hurricanes that frequent its Caribbean neighbors.
Acreage: 1,500 acres (600 hectares)
Golf: Designed by renowned golf architect Pete Dye, Old Quarry, the 18-hole championship golf course will be complemented by an 8,000 square-foot clubhouse featuring a fully stocked golf shop, locker facilities, restaurant and lounge. (Scheduled for completion December 2009.)
Marina: The full-service Seru Boca Marina located on Spanish Waters is complete with 128 floating slips, accommodating vessels up to 150 feet in length.
