Baoase Enters a New Chapter with a Refined Identity and Thoughtfully Designed Resort Expansion

For nearly two decades, Baoase has redefined luxury hospitality in the Caribbean through genuine service, exceptional dining, and an intimate guest experience unlike any other. Today, we are proud to unveil the next chapter in our story with the introduction of Baoase Curaçao and an exciting resort expansion, scheduled to welcome its first guests in early 2027.

More than a new name or additional accommodations, this milestone reflects our continued commitment to evolving while remaining true to the philosophy that has made Baoase one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated boutique resorts.

Introducing Baoase Curaçao

Our identity has evolved, but our promise remains unchanged. The transition from Baoase Luxury Resort to Baoase Curaçao reflects who we have become over nearly two decades of welcoming guests from around the world. Luxury has never been defined by our name. Instead, it is experienced through every interaction, every thoughtful detail, and every unforgettable moment shared at the resort.

Adding Curaçao to our name is a tribute to the island that has shaped Baoase from the very beginning. While our architecture continues to draw inspiration from the timeless beauty, tranquility, and craftsmanship of Bali, it is the warmth, hospitality, and genuine spirit of the people of Curaçao that bring the Baoase experience to life every day.

As Managing Director Thijs van der Valk explains:

“Luxury has never been about what we call ourselves. It has always been about how we make our guests feel through every interaction, every detail, and every moment of their stay. We have had the privilege of creating moments, memories, and meaningful connections that guests carry with them long after they leave. As we look toward the future, we felt it was important for our name to better reflect our roots and pay tribute to the people and place that have been at the heart of Baoase from the very beginning.”

A New Collection of Accommodations

Alongside our refined identity comes one of the most significant developments in Baoase’s history. In early 2027, Baoase Curaçao will unveil a new collection of thoughtfully designed accommodations. Designed through the lens of nearly fifteen years of experience, our Oceanfront Pool Suites and Junior Suites reflects everything we have learned about comfort, privacy, personalized hospitality, and the evolving expectations of today’s luxury traveler.

Every space has been carefully considered to create a seamless balance between contemporary comfort and timeless design. Thoughtfully integrated technology enhances the guest experience while preserving the authentic atmosphere, intimacy, and understated elegance that have always distinguished Baoase. Rather than redefining Baoase, the expansion strengthens everything guests have come to love.

According to Niels van der Valk, Director of Baoase:

“This expansion is not about becoming bigger; it’s about becoming better. Growth only has value when it strengthens the guest experience. It allows us to welcome more guests while preserving the intimacy, attention to detail, and deeply personal service that have always defined the Baoase experience. By combining contemporary comforts and thoughtfully integrated technology with the timeless design principles that have shaped Baoase for nearly fifteen years, we have created accommodations that feel both familiar and entirely new. Every decision has been made with the future in mind while remaining true to the values that have guided us from the very beginning.”

Continuing to Set the Standard for Luxury in Curaçao

The announcement follows a remarkable period of international recognition for Baoase. Named the #1 Resort in the Caribbean by both Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler, Baoase continues to be recognized among the world’s leading luxury resorts. These accolades reflect the passion of our team and our unwavering commitment to creating exceptional guest experiences through personalized service, refined accommodations, and world-class dining.

Located on the southern coast of Curaçao, outside the hurricane belt, Baoase offers travelers a uniquely intimate luxury escape where privacy, tranquility, and genuine hospitality come together in one extraordinary destination.

Looking Ahead

As Baoase Curaçao enters this exciting new chapter, our vision remains unchanged. We will continue to invest in thoughtful innovation, exceptional service, and meaningful guest experiences while preserving the intimacy and authenticity that have defined Baoase since its founding.

The introduction of Baoase Curaçao and our resort expansion are not simply milestones—they represent the natural evolution of a destination that continues to grow with purpose, while staying true to its heart. We look forward to welcoming guests to experience the next chapter of Baoase.
