About us
Our story
From dream to reality
We are Jerry and Mélina, proud parents of Fayèn and Feline and founders of Silk & Sand, where we offer stylish holiday apartments in Jan Thiel, Curaçao. Though we live in the Netherlands, our hearts also beat for the sun, sea, and relaxed island life of Curaçao.
In 2024, we had the opportunity to buy a property in Vista Royal — just 400 meters from Jan Thiel Beach — and so our Caribbean adventure began. In 2025, we started building our own boutique apartments: a place that blends comfort, style, and tropical tranquility. Whether you're coming to relax, explore the island, or simply soak up the sun — we can’t wait to welcome you to one of our apartments. you’re more than welcome.
See you soon on Curaçao!
