Our story
Mi Cuna means "my cradle"
A name that reflects our deep commitment to comfort, care, and connection. Founded by Rafa and Mady, Mi Cuna Stays is more than a place to sleep. It's a soulful retreat where travelers from around the world come to feel grounded, inspired, and embraced by the spirit of Curaçao. Located in the heart of Jan Thiel, our villas and apartments offer a unique blend of Caribbean charm and modern comfort. We believe in authentic hospitality, where every guest is treated like family. From curated local experiences to immersive dining nights under the stars, we invite you to slow down, savor the moment, and discover the island through a lens of warmth and wonder.

Our team
Led by founders Rafa & Mady — plus their two Jack Russells, Noche (the curious explorer) and Buena (the gentle guardian). Together, we're more than a team — we're a family. And when you stay with us, you become part of it.
