We are honored to announce that Baoase has been put on The Cool List: The 10 Coolest Caribbean Hotels for 2021 from Caribbean Journal!

Caribbean Journal’s Cool List has always sought to inspire different kinds of getaways – to hotels with personality, with purpose. This year, they have also tried to focus on properties where you can really get away; hotels that, by their location, design and setting, are perfect for finding some space amid the new realities of travel.

This is what they had to say about Baoase which was placed at number two on the list:

“Baoase Luxury Resort, Curacao Curaçao may be best known for the urban, historic charm of Willemstad. But venture beyond the capital and you’ll discover this Dutch Caribbean island’s breezy, cosmopolitan personality that immediately intoxicates. And that’s precisely what you get at Baoase, a hidden gem among Caribbean luxury hotels, a boutique beach resort that’s somewhere between the Riviera and Bali — but oozes not with pretentiousness but with personality.”

A beautiful start of 2021: our Culinary Beach Restaurant has been rewarded with #12 of the 50 best Restaurants in the Caribbean, by Caribbean Journal!

“ The food by culinary star Rene Klop is a mix of French-International and Asian Fusion, and the setting on the Baoase resort’s private beach makes for a magical dining experience.” 

Entertain your guests with a Baoase culinary Christmas dinner at home! With a little help from our culinary team, you will be able to create an exclusive 3-course dinner for your guests, starting off with mouthwatering amuses and ending the evening on a sweet note with delightful friandises. To complete the experience, we have hand-selected three wines together with the Wine Factory to enhance your dinner.

The culinary masters of Curaçao came together to support Fundashon di Artista. Ten local companies combined their strengths and presented a 4-course dinner with wine pairing. In the idyllic setting aside the Cathedral of Thorns, 70 guests enjoyed a culinary experience to raise money for the completion of the cathedral.

The building-sized illuminated labyrinth is a remarkable work of art of award-winning artist Herman van Bergen. The cathedral is made of sumpiña’s, the thorns of the acacia tortuoso. Van Bergen recognized the light shining through the thorns as a sign of human enlightenment and enhanced this by incorporating light within his works. Especially at the sunrise and sunset, the orbs of light create a spectacular ambience.

The fundraising dinner was beyond successful and an exceptional amount of 41.000 nafl was raised (13.500 nafl with the dinner – 27.500 nafl with the auction. All proceeds go to Fundashon di Artista.
