Terra Sami, a joint venture between the Dutch real estate developer Rebirth Development and Curaçao-based architect Cees den Heijer, has acquired a plot of land in Sint Michiel.

The plot comprises approximately 36,000 m² of residential-zoned land. The project location is situated near the authentic fishing village of Boka Sami, to the west of Blue Bay Resort, and is characterised by a green, natural setting with views over the saliña and the Sint Michielsberg. The site lies between Blue Bay and Kokomo Beach and is approximately a ten-minute drive from both Hato Airport and Willemstad.

The boutique residential resort Sami Verde will be developed on this site. The plan includes approximately 40 modern detached and semi-detached villas on a plot of around 3.6 hectares. The homes are surrounded by greenery, agricultural land and centuries-old trees, with a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living as a key design principle.

The project was designed by architect Cees den Heijer, who has been active on Curaçao for over 20 years and is known for projects such as Papagayo Beach Hotel and the adjacent Bohémi Resort, among others. Den Heijer lives and works from Landhuis Klein Sint Michiel, which is located right next to the project site.

The development is aimed at a combination of permanent residence, second homes and tourist rental. In addition to the villas, the masterplan includes shared facilities such as a swimming pool, terraces and modern vegetable, fruit and herb gardens for small-scale communal use.

The purchase agreement for the land was signed in September 2025 on Curaçao. Pre-sales for the first phase are scheduled for the first half of 2026.
