The Basics
What is a Dushi Week?

A Dushi Week is Tommy Coconut’s seven-night Private Resort week in Jan Thiel, Curaçao. Choose Easy, All Inclusive or Royale. The family shapes it around your people and your occasion.

What is the difference between the three Dushi Weeks?

Easy includes your private estate for seven nights, airport transfers with Jeremiah, a new EV-SUV, every dinner, the private boat trip and the Dushi Memories. Five dinners are at local hot spots; the other two are the BBQ aboard Captain Magic Mike’s boat and the Sunset Club Beach BBQ. Water, electricity, cleaning and taxes are included. All Inclusive adds every breakfast and lunch, the estate open bar, a daily estate reset and a standby driver in Jan Thiel. Royale starts at $75,000, with one or two weeks created each year. Its scope is agreed personally.

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. On Easy, groceries are at receipt cost and breakfast is at your own cost. All Inclusive includes breakfast and groceries.

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 local hot spots. 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.

What is included in the price?

Easy includes your private estate for seven nights, airport transfers with Jeremiah, a new EV-SUV, every dinner, the private boat trip and the Dushi Memories. Five dinners are at local hot spots; the other two are the BBQ aboard Captain Magic Mike’s boat and the Sunset Club Beach BBQ. Water, electricity, cleaning and taxes are included. All Inclusive adds every breakfast and lunch, the estate open bar, a daily estate reset and a standby driver in 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 a price we tell you up front 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, personal purchases and agreed optional extras are separate. On Easy, groceries are at receipt cost; breakfast, lunch and drinks are your own.

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

The family checks your dates, people and the week you want, so we know we can build it properly. Answer a few short questions, then book a five-minute Zoom with Boy. You talk about your people, occasion and the week you envision. If it fits, the family spends about two days personally building your Dushi Week and its website. A second Zoom of five to ten minutes gives you the keys. Prefer to design first? Complete the full questionnaire and book your reveal directly.

What is the Day Three Promise?

If you are dissatisfied, tell the family by day three of your stay. We will refund the full amount you paid to Tommy Coconut for your week by wire transfer, and Jeremiah will take you back to the airport. See the Day Three Promise and booking terms.

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?

Fourteen people and four dogs. Boy is your host, Jeremiah handles your airport welcome, Captain Magic Mike takes you out on the water, and the family carries the arrangements. Meet the whole family →

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 trip structured?

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

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

What about dietary restrictions and allergies?

Tell the family before your week is built. We arrange all seven dinners with your needs in mind and agree what can be accommodated. On Easy, groceries remain at receipt cost; breakfast, lunch and drinks are your own.

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 fourteen 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.

Still Have Questions?
How do I start?

If it fits, the family spends about two days personally building your Dushi Week and its website. A second Zoom of five to ten minutes gives you the keys. Prefer to design first?

The Coconut Post

One letter, once a season.

A photo from Raymonde. A paragraph from Ray. A line from Tommy if he's in the mood. Never a sales pitch.

Apply, or ask anything.
