A signature beachfront resort in Bonaire has a new global brand partner. Van der Valk Plaza Beach Resort Bonaire has officially joined the WorldHotels Elite Collection, the premium tier of the global WorldHotels portfolio.
It’s, in our view, the best all-inclusive resort on the whole island.
The all-inclusive resort, set on a private stretch of sand just south of downtown Kralendijk, is one of Bonaire’s most popular stays — known for its easygoing atmosphere, waterfront location and signature overwater pier bar. Joining the WorldHotels Elite Collection places the resort among an exclusive group of independent properties recognized for high service standards and exceptional hospitality experiences.
Van der Valk Plaza Beach Resort has long been a favorite for divers, couples and travelers seeking an easy beach escape. The resort features spacious suites and villas, multiple dining options, a lagoon-style pool and direct access to some of the island’s top snorkeling and diving sites.
Bonaire has quietly become one of the Caribbean’s most beloved destinations for travelers looking for natural beauty, clear turquoise waters and a relaxed vibe. With the addition of Van der Valk Plaza Beach Resort to the WorldHotels Elite portfolio, the island gains a new level of global visibility in the luxury and premium travel space.
WorldHotels Elite is the group’s upper-upscale tier, spotlighting distinctive hotels and resorts that deliver elevated guest experiences while maintaining their own local character.
Prices start at $461 per night right now.
