One of Curacao's most upscale resorts, the Lodge Kura Hulanda & Beach Club, has announced plans to add 18 three-bedroom villas with ocean views to the property.

The Kalki Caribbean Villas, each 2,300 square feet, will feature two-story great rooms, master suites with private oceanfront patios, and stone terraces with gazebos and private plunge pools. Owners will have use of all of the Lodge's facilities and the option to rent their homes, meaning that Curacao travelers may soon have some great new lodging options to choose from.

The villas are expected to be completed by December 2008.
