For the development of Sami Verde in Sint Michiel, a building permit application was submitted to the relevant authorities on Curaçao in January 2026. The application relates to the construction of 40 homes, comprising both detached and semi-detached villas, and marks an important next step in the development of the project.

Sami Verde is being developed as a boutique green residential resort on a site of approximately 3.6 hectares near Landhuis Klein Sint Michiel, between Blue Bay Resort and Kokomo Beach. The plan has been designed by local architect Cees den Heijer, in collaboration with Rebirth Development, and is characterised by a strong connection to the natural surroundings.

The landscape plays a central role in the design. The homes are carefully integrated into the existing terrain, taking into account natural elevation differences, existing vegetation and views over the saliña and the Sint Michielsberg. Rather than fully levelling the site, the design follows the natural landscape, giving each home its own unique position and character.

The masterplan envisions a green, safe and well-organised resort, where homes and gardens flow seamlessly into one another. In addition to the villas, the plan includes various shared facilities, such as a swimming pool with terrace, areas for relaxation and sports, and communal vegetable, fruit and herb gardens that reinforce the concept of outdoor living and connection with nature.

The homes are designed with an open architectural style, abundant natural light and generous outdoor spaces, in line with the Caribbean climate and lifestyle. The villas are suitable for both permanent living and recreational use, and also offer opportunities for tourist rental.

With the submission of the permit application, the formal review process with the authorities has commenced. In parallel, further technical development and preparations for the first phase of the project are underway.

The development of Sami Verde will take place in phases. Phase 1 comprises approximately ten homes and represents the first step in the realisation of the resort.
