The Basics
What is a Dushi Week?

A Dushi Week is Tommy Coconut's seven-night Private Resort program in Jan Thiel, Curaçao — and there are four of them.

Every Dushi Week includes the private estate, airport pickup and drop-off with Jeremiah, an EV-SUV for the week, a welcome dinner on us, Jan Thiel beach access, the mid-stay and end clean, and direct access to the Tommy Coconut family for the entire seven nights. All-in: no service fees, no cleaning fees, no resort fees, no tipping expected.

Dushi Week Easy adds every dinner (you never cook once), the groceries service, the full-day private boat charter with Captain Magic Mike, and the week with the family — the Dushi Memories. Dushi Week All Inclusive adds the premium open bar, every breakfast and lunch, and the daily quiet reset. Dushi Week Royale is by application only — we don't sell it on a website.

What is the difference between the four Dushi Weeks?

The island is the same. The estate is the same. The family is the same. The difference is how much of the week is already carried before you land.

Dushi Week is the foundation: you land soft — estate, airport pickup, the car charged in the driveway, a welcome dinner on us, the family a message away.

Dushi Week Easy adds every dinner, all seven nights, plus the boat day with Captain Magic Mike and the week with the family: Flamingo Hike (weekdays sunrise), Line Fishing with Boy & Britt (Monday), Snorkeling with Raymonde & Cameron (Tuesday), Sunset Club (Wednesday), Cultural Walk with T-Cam (Thursday), Give Back Locally with Ray & Kim (Friday), the Padel Tournament (Saturday) — plus an intro dive or guided dive for everyone with Julien, a massage for the one who booked the week, beach gear down to the beach safe, and guaranteed late checkout.

Dushi Week All Inclusive adds the premium open bar at the estate, every breakfast and lunch — island hotspots or the chef comes to you — the daily quiet reset, and a driver on standby for Jan Thiel. Nobody touches a wallet all week.

Dushi Week Royale starts at $10,000 per person, parties of four or more, by application only.

How is this different from a villa rental or an Airbnb?

A villa rental hands you a set of keys and a list of house rules. Tommy Coconut operates a Private Resort — we rent you the estate, and an actual family runs every detail around you. Your car is in the driveway. A face you'll come to know picks you up at the airport. And from Dushi Week Easy, the groceries are stocked before you arrive and the week's tables are already booked.

If something breaks, someone is there before you notice. It's a category the market hasn't fully named yet. Your week will feel the difference by day two.

How is this different from a luxury hotel or resort?

The estate is yours. The pool is yours. The tables are waiting. And the family knows your name.

There is no front desk. There is no elevator. There is no breakfast buffet. There is a week built around you.

Where are the estates located?

All eight estates are in Jan Thiel, on the protected southeast coast of Curaçao. Every estate is within walking distance of the beach, the marina, and the partner restaurants. Willemstad, the capital, is a twenty-minute drive. Hato International Airport is about forty-five minutes away.

How many estates are there?

Eight: Bayside Hill (the flagship, for 7 to 8 guests), Palm Breeze, Castaway Beach, Sailaway Beach, Happy Hideaway, Dushi Hideaway, Tropical Haven, and Sunshine Bay.

Pricing & Booking
How much does a Dushi Week cost?

There are four Dushi Weeks, and the bigger the table, the smaller the number. The Dushi Week — the foundation week — runs $200 to $532 per person per night ($11,200 to $7,450 all-in for the week, depending on group size). Dushi Week Easy — every dinner, the boat, the week with the family — runs $285 to $675. Dushi Week All Inclusive — add the open bar and every breakfast and lunch — runs $495 to $1,095. Dushi Week Royale starts at $10,000 per person, parties of four or more, by application only. All prices are all-in: no service fees, no cleaning fees, no resort fees, no tipping expected. Every rate above carries the 25% Introduction Rate — The four Dushi Weeks are new. The first season pays less. Standard rates (from $270 per person per night) return when it ends.

What is included in the price?

Every Dushi Week: the estate for seven nights, airport pickup and drop-off, an EV-SUV for eight days, a welcome dinner on us, Jan Thiel beach access, the mid-stay and end clean, and the family on a group message all week. No service fees, no cleaning fees, no resort fees, no tipping expected.

From Dushi Week Easy: every dinner all seven nights at Curaçao's best tables plus the Sunset Club BBQ and the boat BBQ, the groceries bought and restocked (you cover the receipt — no markup), the full-day private boat charter with Captain Magic Mike, and the Dushi Memories on their fixed weekly rhythm: Flamingo Hike (weekdays sunrise), Line Fishing with Boy & Britt (Monday 16:00–18:00), Snorkeling with Raymonde & Cameron (Tuesday 09:00–10:30), Sunset Club (Wednesday 17:30–20:30), Cultural Walk with T-Cam + Punda Vibes (Thursday from 17:00), Give Back Locally with Ray & Kim (Friday 10:00–11:30), and the weekly Padel Tournament (Saturday 09:00–11:00). Plus the on-demand moments — a pedicure on the beach, a massage for the booker, an intro dive, and a guided dive with our divemaster Julien. And guaranteed late checkout.

From Dushi Week All Inclusive: the premium open bar at the estate (including Tommy Coconut Curaçao Rum), every breakfast and lunch at the island's hotspots or with the chef at the house, the daily quiet reset, and a driver on standby for Jan Thiel.

Can we add experiences during the week?

Yes. Your itinerary shows the whole island. What's inside your Dushi Week is included; anything beyond it has an honest price and a quick yes — the jet ski, the buggy, Klein Curaçao, an extra dive ($150), the dolphins. Adventures are optional, always.

Care never costs extra. Nobody pays for a ride home, a question answered, or an hour of grace when a flight is delayed.

What is not included?

Flights, travel insurance, and personal shopping you didn't tell us about in advance. That's the whole list.

Why do I have to apply? Why can't I just book?

We operate at a 65% occupancy cap by design. We'd rather run a week that's right than a week that's full.

The application is five fields. Britt reads it personally. We call you within twenty-four hours. We decide together if it's a fit. If it isn't, we'll tell you.

What is the Day Four Promise?

If, by the end of day four, the fit isn't right — not the estate, not the island, not the family — we refund the full balance of your week, the same day. No negotiation, no paperwork, no "are you sure?" We've offered this for years. It has never been claimed. It's here, on purpose, so you know what kind of operation this is before you apply.

Can I book just two or three nights?

No. The smallest Dushi Week is seven nights — the rhythm doesn't compress. But it stacks: book a Double Dushi (14 nights) or a Triple Dushi (21). For a full month, we'll point you to our Tommy Coconut Estate partners.

When can I arrive?

Any day of the week except Sunday. Check-in from 10 AM on your arrival day. Seven nights, with an unrushed departure day included. No Sunday arrivals.

Can I book the same estate again next year?

Yes. Returning Coconut Cartel guests get first access to their preferred estate for the same window each year. Ask Britt. She keeps the list.

The Week Itself
Is this family-friendly?

Yes. Many of our guests return with more family each time — grandparents who weren't on the first trip, newborn grandchildren, teenagers. Palm Breeze in particular is famously loved by families. We'll match you to the right estate based on who's coming.

Do you allow events, weddings, or bachelor parties?

We are not an events business. The Dushi Week is a private family experience. A small vow-renewal or milestone celebration inside your group is fine; a staffed event with outside guests is not the product we run.

Will I meet Tommy?

Probably not. That's by design. Tommy paid fifteen years at sea to get his Dushi Life back — he built the family so he wouldn't have to hand it over for a handshake.

If you're lucky, you'll catch a song. That's closer than most people ever get to him.

Who runs the estates day to day?

Eleven operators. Boy (Director of Relations), Raymonde (Director of Operations), Britt (bookings and the Coconut Cartel), Jeremiah (transport), Captain Magic Mike (the boat), T-Cam (systems), Cameron (Raymonde's partner, co-leads snorkel days), Magic Herbert (captain — knows the channels and the reef), Claire (deep tissue and lomi-lomi — she comes to you), Julien (divemaster), and Juan Carlos (anything that's broken, fixed before lunch).

Ray, Kim, and Tommy sit on the Board of Coconut Advisors. The Board of Directors is four dogs — Happy and Lucky on duty, Wolfy and Christmas retired but still around.

Is there a concierge?

No. There is a family.

A group message goes live the day you book, with everyone on it. A question is answered in minutes. A problem is solved before you finish asking.

How is the boat day structured?

From Dushi Week Easy, one day of your week is on the water with Captain Magic Mike. Hidden beaches, a BBQ lunch off the boat, a tugboat stop, snorkeling if the water's right.

Mike has been running our boat days since before the company existed. His number stays inside the family.

What about dietary restrictions and allergies?

Tell Britt when you apply and again when we call. Whichever Dushi Week you're on, everyone who feeds you is briefed — the welcome dinner, the restaurants, the chef, and from Dushi Week Easy the fridge is stocked to your diet before you land. Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, shellfish allergies — all handled.

Is there housekeeping?

Yes — but not in the hotel way.

Every Dushi Week includes the mid-stay reset and the end clean — no cleaning fees, ever. From Dushi Week All Inclusive, the estate resets daily while you are out: towels refreshed, trash removed, bathrooms touched, pool checked, outdoor areas reset, and the fridge and estate bar checked.

We do not interrupt slow mornings. The estate is yours for the week, and privacy is part of the promise.

Language & Names
What is the Coconut Cartel?

The Coconut Cartel is the name for the Tommy Coconut family — the fifteen people and four dogs who run the Dushi Week.

Informally, it is also the name for our community of returning guests.

What is Poko Poko?

Poko Poko is an island expression meaning "slowly, slowly." It's the tempo of the island — and the tempo of the Dushi Week.

What is the Dushi Life?

Dushi is a Papiamentu word meaning "sweet" or "good" — it's how locals describe the good life, the sweet life.

The Dushi Life is what Tommy spent fifteen years at sea looking for, and what he almost lost the day he found his treasure. Your Dushi Week is the one-week introduction.
