Villa Danjel sits on a small limestone point on Bonaire's leeward coast, inside the island's marine park. The water is a few steps from the terrace. There are five bedrooms — four in the main house, plus a guest house in the garden.
Most of life here happens on the terrace — meals in the gazebo, afternoons on the loungers, evenings around the fire pit.
Steps and ladders lead off the terrace into the marine park. Snorkel the house reef, take out the paddleboard or eFoil, or head across to Klein Bonaire in the boat.
A covered living room and dining table face the water, with the Big Green Egg beside them and a small open-air gym.
White ceilings, glass doors that slide away, and a big kitchen made for cooking. There's a bar, a laundry, Starlink internet, and solar on the roof.
The master has its own balcony above the water. The other four rooms are split between the main house and the guest house, and every room has its own entrance — everyone gets their privacy.
Most of Bonaire's dive sites are shore dives, the trade winds blow all winter, and town is ten minutes away. A few things worth doing:
The house reef starts at the ladder. Salt Pier and 1000 Steps are a short drive.
Steady trades and flat water at Atlantis Beach, a short drive south.
A waist-deep lagoon with steady wind at Sorobon — easy place to learn.
Klein Bonaire's beaches and snorkel spots are a short cruise across.
Salt pyramids and pink brine at Pekelmeer, by the old slave huts.
At the Pekelmeer sanctuary and Gotomeer.
Donkeys, iguanas, loras and pelicans in the kunuku.
Dinner in Kralendijk, a wander through Rincon, or the ferry to No Name Beach.
On the quiet southwestern shore of Bonaire, just south of town — close to everything, disturbed by nothing.
