How to Stay in a Villa in Bonaire

By: - April 18th, 2016

It’s an island that’s meant to be explored.

That’s because the Dutch Caribbean Island of Bonaire is safe and easy to get around, whether you’re looking for your own private dive site or hiking the national park.

And when you’re planning a trip like that, a villa is often the best option.

That’s why the Tourism Corporation Bonaire has announced the launch of the new Bonaire Villa Collection, a portfolio of some of the island’s top villas.

“Packaging our villa product into a Collection and promoting it to the more affluent traveler positions Bonaire as a destination that can compete with other Caribbean islands that may be better known for offering a luxury villa product,” said new Director of Tourism Maurice Adriaens. “Whether guests are looking for a villa with a breathtaking ocean view or an open air living space steps away from the sea, we invite them to consider the properties on Bonaire. The Bonaire Villa Collection is designed to provide exceptional accommodations and the luxury of having your vacation experience customized to meet your every want and need.”

Many of the properties include daily maid service, house delivery of dive tanks and gear, access to a private chef, dedicated concierge service and free Wi-Fi, among others.

Some of the villas include Cas Thomas, Crown Court 38, Kas Dorrie, Punto Perfecto and Villa Bon Bini, among others.

The villas are offered in partnership with SunRentals Bonaire.
