In practice, that often means: a glimpse of blue through a row of other villas, or descending a few hundred metres of hill before your feet are in the water.<\/p>\n        <p>At 3 Palabrua it's different. From your terrace you look directly over the Spanish Water. Twenty-five metres and you're on the jetty. Another ten steps and you're in the water. No street between, no hill to descend, no intermediate destination. It's the sea, directly.<\/p>\n        <p>Moreover, the Spanish Water is not open sea but a large, sheltered bay \u2014 about three kilometres long and one and a half at its widest point. That makes the water always calm and clear, even when the wind is strong inland. Perfect for swimming, snorkelling, kayaking or mooring a small boat.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"az-twocol-img\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"az-compare\">\n  <div class=\"az-compare-inner\">\n    <span class=\"az-eyebrow\">Location types compared<\/span>\n    <h2>How Cura\u00e7ao vacation homes <em>are classified by water access<\/em><\/h2>\n    <div class=\"az-compare-grid\">\n      <div class=\"az-compare-card\">\n        <h3>With sea view<\/h3>\n        <span class=\"az-compare-distance\">200\u20131000m from water<\/span>\n        <p>View of the coast, often over other villas.

A vacation home with sea view means a view of the sea, often from hundreds of metres away with a street or hill between. 3 Palabrua sits 25 metres from the Spanish Water with own jetty \u2014 really by the sea.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"az-faq-item\"><summary class=\"az-faq-q\">Which sea is 3 Palabrua on?<\/summary>\n    <div class=\"az-faq-a\">3 Palabrua is on the Spanish Water, a large sheltered bay of about 3 km long on the south-east side of Cura\u00e7ao. It's not open sea but an inland water connected to the Caribbean Sea. The water is therefore always calm and suitable for children.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"az-faq-item\"><summary class=\"az-faq-q\">Can I snorkel from the villa?<\/summary>\n    <div class=\"az-faq-a\">Yes. From our jetty or the shared beaches you step directly into the water. For the most beautiful snorkelling spots \u2014 coral reefs with large fish \u2014 we recommend a trip to the west coast (Cas Abou, Playa Kenepa).<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"az-faq-item\"><summary class=\"az-faq-q\">How deep is the water at the jetty?<\/summary>\n    <div class=\"az-faq-a\">Shallow at the shore (up to waist height), but within five metres it deepens to about two metres \u2014 deep enough to swim, shallow enough to see the bottom. Ideal for both children and adults.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"az-faq-item\"><summary class=\"az-faq-q\">Is there a beach at the villa?<\/summary>\n    <div class=\"az-faq-a\">Aqualife Resort has two shared beaches with sun loungers, next to the jetty. It's not a wide beach like Jan Thiel Beach, but ample for sunbathing and sitting by the water. For classic white beaches you're 10\u201320 minutes away elsewhere on the island.<\/div><\/details>\n\n    <details class=\"az-faq-item\"><summary class=\"az-faq-q\">Can we book directly with the owners?<\/summary>\n    <div class=\"az-faq-a\">Yes, you book directly with Jan &amp; Wendy van der Roest through this site. No middlemen, no commission. You can also book via Booking or Micazu \u2014 same villa, different route.<\/div><\/details>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"az-footer-cta\">\n  <div class=\"az-footer-cta-inner\">\n    <span class=\"az-eyebrow\">Book 3 Palabrua<\/span>\n    <h2>A vacation home by the sea <em>with the water really at your door<\/em><\/h2>\n    <p class=\"az-footer-cta-text\">3 Palabrua isn't \"sea view\" with asterisks.
