Why North Sea Jazz Festival and relaxing on Bonaire is such a great combination
After three days of dancing, singing and enjoying the best live music, you only want one thing: relaxation. And where better to do that than on Bonaire?
Bonaire is an hour’s flight from Curaçao. The island breathes tranquility. No busy roads, no stress. Just sun, sea and bliss. Think:
- Colorful coral reefs for snorkeling and diving enthusiasts
- Sunscreen on, flip-flops on and relax at a sunny beach club
- Cocktail in hand at sunset on Te Amo Beach
Relax in style: stay at Sunwise Bonaire after the festival
After partying on Curaçao, it’s time to recover in style. Come enjoy a week on Bonaire with Sunwise’s fine accommodations.
For example, there is The Roman Penthouse, an elegant penthouse overlooking the sea with a luxurious feel that gives instant peace of mind. Perfect for those who want to reminisce in style.
Port Bonaire BonMar A201 is located right on the water and Te Amo beach and is ideal for snorkelers or divers who want to explore Bonaire’s underwater world.
At Kas di Awa, you’ll totally unwind with a private pool and sundeck. Here you don’t have to do anything for a while except enjoy.
And then there is Kas Vis, an attractive villa with a large veranda, open kitchen and everything you need for a relaxing stay close to the coast.
In short: at Sunwise Bonaire you will always find a place where you can recharge your battery after a weekend full of music.
From stage to palm trees
The transition from the vibrant energy of the festival to the calmness of Bonaire is almost magical. This year’s festival edition promises to be intense. So that relaxation? You really deserve it. Combine your trip with:
- Luxury apartments in small resorts or luxury villas right by the sea
- Local markets in Kralendijk
- A ride in your rented pickup truck along the salt flats
Ticket sales have started, so be quick. Tickets sell out quickly every year. Just like the most beautiful accommodations on Bonaire.
