Discover Kas Bougainville, an exceptional investment opportunity on Bonaire, situated in an area that allows private occupancy, vacation rentals, and long-term rentals.

If you are seeking a reliable investment or a dream home on Bonaire with complete flexibility, we are delighted to introduce Kas Bougainville—a beautiful semi-detached waterfront villa located directly on the Laguna Marina, on the exclusive Bahia peninsula within the Water Villas Bonaire project.
A prime location with endless possibilities
Kas Bougainville stands out thanks to the rare zoning exception granted to the Bahia peninsula. While most areas on Bonaire have restrictions, this location offers you complete freedom:
- Permanent Residency: Make Bonaire your permanent home.
- Vacation Rentals: Earn excellent returns from short-term tourist rentals.
- Long-Term Rentals: Ideally suited for the growing community of expats and island residents.
Boat and private dock included
This property is perfect for water sports enthusiasts. It offers a private quay and a floating dock, and the boat is included in the asking price. You can sail straight from your terrace onto the Laguna Marina, and the man-made canals provide direct access to the Caribbean Sea (subject to draft and clearance height at the Plaza Resort).
Property highlights:
- Asking Price: $780,000 (includes boat and dock).
- Inventory: All inventory, except lamps, decor, and personal items, can be transferred for only $15,000.
- Closing/Delivery: To be arranged by mutual agreement, with an estimated date around September 2026.
- Income: The property will be transferred with any existing vacation bookings. Rental income statements are available upon request.
Carefree ownership and professional management
This property combines the charm and privacy of a standalone house with the legal structure of a condominium. As an owner, you automatically become a member of the active “Bahia” Homeowners Association (HOA).
Bahia also belongs to the broader Water Villas Bonaire interest group, which manages shared infrastructure such as access roads, street lighting, sewage systems, and the secure entrance featuring a gatehouse and barrier. This arrangement provides a safe, clean, and prestigious environment for you and your guests.
Curious about the return on investment? We can supply comprehensive rental income data and a summary of current bookings upon request.
