About this property

Villa Salentein, Best Villa On Bonaire By Far!

Villa Salentein, designed by the renowned Dutch architect Gerard Prins (1929–2017), is a stunning example of how architecture and nature harmoniously come together on Bonaire. Its iconic round blue roof and open-air patio invite you to enjoy the breathtaking sunsets, giving you the feeling of floating above the Caribbean Sea.

Located in the quiet Sabadeco neighborhood on the northern side of the island, Villa Salentein features six spacious bedrooms, each with spectacular ocean views. The seaside garden, rich with coral gardens and vibrant marine life, creates a serene and enchanting atmosphere that captivates every guest. As one of the area’s original gems, the villa combines elegance with a deep connection to the natural surroundings.


#Luxury and Sustainability Hand in Hand
Villa Salentein is proud to hold the status of Bonaire’s first “Blue Villa.” This means the villa not only stands out visually but also fully aligns with the island-wide initiative to develop Bonaire as a “blue destination,” with sustainability and nature conservation at its core. The owners’ practices focus on minimizing energy and water consumption, using solar panels and greywater systems for irrigation, reducing single-use plastics, and encouraging guests to use reef-safe sunscreen. Even small choices, such as reusing towels and linens, contribute to a more environmentally conscious experience.

Additionally, the owners encourage guests to enjoy the villa and its amenities responsibly: take advantage of natural ventilation instead of overusing air conditioning, and be mindful of water and electricity usage. This way, you can fully enjoy your stay while helping to preserve Bonaire’s beauty for future generations.

Experience the perfect combination of luxury, comfort, and environmental awareness at Villa Salentein, where every day brings you closer to nature and serenity. Discover why this villa is a cherished treasure on our beautiful island!

The listed rate is based on an occupancy of 1–2 guests. An additional fee applies for each extra guest, per night.

Windswept accommodation with ultra modern flair, Villa Salentein is a sure pleaser. It’s location on the water gives full access to snorkeling or diving from your doorstep. The property manager, Marijn, made every convenience available as she welcomed our stay. No complaints at all…nothing but compliments about our visit here.

This house was great for us! The description of the bedrooms is a little difficult to decipher but understood once we were there! This was a family and friend dive trip. We had 6 adults and 4 adult children (aged 24-28). Many of us have been here before diving and the “kids”were new divers. The house reef is amazing!! The non-divers snorkeled too! Thanks for a great week! They were very accommodating and we had a last minute addition and it was no trouble! I recommend not leaving food out - birds will fly in with doors open! I recommend using the fans to keep air moving in the big common areas! Great experience for my kids to dive for the first time! Thank you!

A Slice of Heaven!

What a magical place. From start to finish this property exceeded our expectations! We would often find ourselves wanting just to head back to the Villa because the snorkeling was the best on the island, the indoor/outdoor living set up was just superb, and we even preferred cooking in the fully stocked kitchen over eating out with 7 people! A MUST SEE TO BELIEVE HOUSE!
