When you think of Bonaire, you think of palm trees, blue sea, and white beaches. For thirty years, Van der Valk has had the beautiful Plaza Beach & Dive Resort Bonaire here. Even on the other side of the ocean, you can experience our familiar hospitality. Whether you want to dive, hike, swim, or just relax: you can do it all here.

ENJOY LOUNGING

Plaza Beach & Dive Resort Bonaire has been extensively renovated and expanded for an even more luxurious vacation. The new main building provides a warm welcome. In the lobby, you will see an impressive high waterfall that will immediately catch your eye. The main building has several rooms, ideal for conferences or weddings. The largest room even has a 360-degree sea view! New room types have also been added: apartments and penthouses with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms. The biggest eye-catcher is outside: the swimming pool, with a view of the beach and the sea. You can relax on the lounge sofas among the palm trees, get ice-cold drinks at the Palm Beach Bar, and often enjoy relaxing music played by a DJ to complete the experience. Another gem at the resort is the infinity pool, where you can enjoy peace and quiet. At Plaza Resort Bonaire, everything is geared towards providing the ultimate vacation experience. Your comfort is our priority. Your stay here is all-inclusive, so you can enjoy unlimited meals, snacks, drinks, and entertainment. At the Live Cooking restaurant Momento, the chefs prepare fresh dishes, from pasta to sushi. You can also enjoy fresh fish here. The restaurant is attractively decorated with lots of wood. From every table, you have a view of the azure blue Caribbean Sea.

FROM EVERY TABLE YOU HAVE A VIEW OF THE CARIBBEAN SEA

AMAZING UNDERWATER WORLD

The central location of Plaza Beach & Dive Resort Bonaire is ideal for exploring the island. It is also close to Klein Bonaire, an uninhabited island that is a protected nature reserve. From the resort's own harbor, you can sail there with Bonaire Yacht Charters or take other beautiful trips. You can book all kinds of activities at the Sea & Sense shop in the lobby. Whether you want to be active or just relax, the extensive range of activities on offer means you can do it all. Bonaire is best known for its amazing underwater world with beautiful coral reefs and colorful fish. It's no wonder the island is called Divers Paradise. Plaza Beach & Dive Resort Bonaire has its own diving school: Toucan Diving. How cool is it to get your PADI certification during your vacation? For those who find diving a bit too deep, there are many other water sports available. Go wakeboarding, surfing, stand-up paddleboarding, canoeing, or adventurous snorkeling. Chances are you'll see a sea turtle through your diving goggles. The nature on land is also worth exploring, such as the mangrove forests and the vast Washington Slagbaai National Park. Moreover, Bonaire is very pleasant, which also contributes to a wonderful vacation experience. The people are friendly and there is a relaxed vibe. Insiders refer to Bonaire as a village. The capital, Kralendijk, is not a large city, but it is a delightful place to stroll around and visit the old Dutch colonial buildings, shops, and bars. Back at the resort, you can enjoy working out in the luxurious Ara gym. Next year, the new spa will open, offering everything you need for an even more complete stay.

HIGH CHANCE THAT YOU WILL SEE A SEA TURTLE THROUGH YOUR DIVING MASK
