About the Owner
We are Arnaud and Mariëlle, the founders of Villa Grandi. Our love for Curaçao’s heritage inspired us to restore the historic landmark villa in Otrobanda and return it to its former glory. We then added two contemporary garden villas — Villa Awa and Villa Blenchi — creating a private walled estate designed with comfort, privacy and togetherness in mind. Surrounded by tropical greenery, a shimmering saltwater pool and shaded outdoor spaces, Villa Grandi is our way of sharing something meaningful: a place where history, beauty, and the joy of being together as a group come together in the heart of Curaçao’s UNESCO district. We hope you feel welcome from the moment you arrive.
