Pools & waterplay

1pool

One communal infinity pool overlooking the Caribbean Sea. 12 of the 23 accommodations have private plunge pools (not counted).

Aerial view of Baoase Luxury Resort's private beach cove with turquoise water, white sand, thatched bungalows, and rocky outcrops surrounding the lagoon.

The beach itself

Baoase's private lagoon-style beach is a major guest favorite and is generally calmer than open-ocean beaches, though Curaçao can experience seasonal seaweed variation.

  • Calm water, swimmable straight off the sand
  • Caveat: Sargassum seaweed lands seasonally, raked daily

Counts come from the resort's own published information; the scores are ours, from the Palmprint file below.

Rooms & suites

Who fits where at Baoase Luxury Resort

All 10 categories, from the resort's own accommodations pages. The figures are the comparison: how many the room takes, against the most this property puts in any one key. Where a category carries no figures, the resort does not publish an occupancy for it, which at villa tier usually means it is set when you book.

What it costs

The rate, and where to check it

Our tracker samples real rates for a two-adult, 7-night stay on a rotating schedule, so the number below is a checked price with a date on it, not a teaser. The channels underneath price the same stay; a few minutes across them is routinely worth a night's rate.

Per-person figures assume two sharing. This resort prices room-only by default; the all-inclusive plan is a paid add-on, so add it when you book.

Year-round

Temperature barely moves here across the year, so rain is the whole decision: the wet months run Oct to Jan. Hurricane season is real here: about 1 in 9 Septembers sees one pass within 100 miles, most recently Bret in 2023.

Odds count the complete years, 1980 to 2025, in which a hurricane passed within about 100 nautical miles of Curaçao, the nearest point in the NOAA and IBTrACS records to this resort. Two storms in one month still count that year once. How the hurricane belt works
