A work station on Bonaire: this is what it looks like
Why you should book your workation on Bonaire Bonaire has an atmosphere you won’t find anywhere else. The island is small-scale, friendly and exudes a tranquility that immediately brings your stress level down. As the trade winds gently blow through your hair, you’ll notice creativity begin to flow again.
And the time difference? That’s your secret weapon. Start early while Holland is already in full swing and have the whole afternoon free to do what you feel like doing. Best of all, the weather here never lets you down. With temperatures almost always hovering between 25 and 30 degrees, it’s the perfect place to combine work and relaxation. Whether you dive into the water after your last call or sit with your laptop in the shade of a palm tree: here you get the energy you will never find behind a desk in the Netherlands.
Your workation begins even before you open the laptop
The luxury apartments, studios and penthouses (for 2 to 4 persons) of Belnem House Bonaire are designed with the ‘digital nomads’ in mind. After all, a work station is not a vacation where you occasionally tap an email; it is a place where you really want to make meters. Therefore, our accommodations are much more than just a comfortable place to sleep. Besides a nice workplace, we provide you with the best local tips. So you can effortlessly combine a productive working day with the very best of island life.
● Space for focus: each accommodation has a table suitable as a desk. Whether you want to work with multiple screens or spread out your entire administration, you have the space you need here.
● Blazing fast connection: we know there’s nothing more frustrating than a faltering video call. That’s why we offer fast and stable WiFi connections, so you can stay connected to your team in the Netherlands or elsewhere in the world.
● Power lunches on your own terrace: accommodations have fully equipped and modern kitchens. The studios have a small outdoor table. Prepare your own healthy lunch and enjoy it on your own balcony or terrace. With the sun on your face and a view of the azure blue sea or our swimming pool, your lunch will taste that little bit better.
● Sustainable enjoyment: what makes Belnem House truly unique is that sustainability is paramount. In fact, Belnem House is a fully ecological and off-grid resort. This means that your laptop literally runs on the sun; our resort operates on
solar energy, without gas or electricity. Thus, we combine comfort with care for the environment and you enjoy a tropical workation while keeping your carbon footprint minimal.
The “After Work” guide to Bonaire
After a productive day, there’s nothing quite like slamming your laptop shut. At Belnem House, this doesn’t mean another hour in rush hour traffic. On the contrary: within seconds you are at the edge of our beautiful pool for a refreshing swim. Prefer the fresh sea breeze and a cocktail in your hand? Then walk to the nearby beach in a few minutes to admire the beautiful sunset.
The uniqueness of this resort is that you are guaranteed to recharge after your workday. The combination of luxury, privacy and the natural beauty of the island ensures that you will crawl behind your screen the next morning refreshed and full of energy.
● Dive into the depths: Bonaire is a Divers Paradise for a reason. Clap your computer shut and hit the road with the pros from Dive Friends, the resort’s trusted diving partner. There’s no better way to completely reset your mind than among the turtles and colorful coral.
● The pearls of the Caribbean: Bonaire is known for its rugged, pristine coast with beautiful natural beaches. Whether you choose the pristine white beaches of Klein Bonaire or seek out the hidden coves like Bachelor’s Beach (right near our resort!), Donkey Beach or Te Amo Beach, there’s always a spot that suits you. So put these beaches on your list!
● Road trip around the island: rent a car directly from the resort and go exploring. Drive south past the pink salt flats and white slave houses or admire the elegant flamingos. For rugged nature, set sail north to Washington Slagbaai National Park, where the ocean slams against the limestone cliffs.
● Culinary indulgence: don’t feel like cooking after a day full of concentration? Just 100 meters away you will find the first restaurants. Enjoy the “fresh catch of the day” and a cold cocktail while the sun slowly sets.
