Explore the New Look Luxury Baoase Curaçao

Big things are happening at Baoase Curaçao, a five-star, Balinese-inspired luxury boutique resort located in Willemstad.

Baoase, one of the Caribbean’s most celebrated boutique resorts, has unveiled the next chapter in its evolution with the introduction of Baoase Curaçao—and a resort expansion scheduled to open in early 2027. The announcement reflects the resort’s continued commitment to excellence, building on nearly two decades of international recognition for its personalized service, intimate atmosphere, and unwavering commitment to excellence. It represents an investment in the future while preserving the intimate character and exceptional guest experience that have defined Baoase since its founding. 

“Our standards, service, and attention to detail remain unchanged,” said Thijs van der Valk, Managing Director of Baoase. “The transition from Baoase Luxury Resort to Baoase Curaçao is not a change in who we are, but a clearer expression of who we have always been.

“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.” 

While Baoase has always drawn inspiration from the tranquility and craftsmanship of Bali, it has been the people of Curaçao who have brought that vision to life. The addition of Curaçao to the resort’s name recognizes the island’s influence on its journey and the individuals who have helped build its reputation over the years, making Baoase what it is today. 

Marking the next chapter in its evolution, Baoase Curaçao will introduce fourteen new accommodations. Designed with nearly fifteen years of experience, the new collection brings together everything the resort has learned about comfort, privacy, guest preferences, and hospitality. Thoughtfully integrated technology and contemporary design enhancements have been incorporated without compromising the authentic atmosphere, intimacy, and sense of luxury that define the Baoase experience. Upon completion, Baoase Curaçao will feature 37 accommodations. 

The announcement follows a period of continued international recognition for the resort, including being named the #1 Resort in the Caribbean by both Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveler’s Reader Choice Awards. As the resort enters this next chapter, its leadership remains committed to preserving the values and excellence that have earned it worldwide acclaim. With a refined identity and an expanded collection of accommodations, Baoase Curaçao enters this next chapter while staying true to the philosophy that has defined it from the beginning: creating deeply personal experiences in one of the Caribbean’s most intimate luxury settings.
