The Best Hotels Near BijBlauw, by the Record
-
Nine individually decorated rooms split between two stately old buildings in Pietermaai, Willemstad's most walkable and colorful neighborhood. This small boutique hotel puts you close enough to the waterfront to spot dolphins from a furnished balcony, yet steps from the district's rainbow-hued bars and cafés. The open-kitchen restaurant leans on local produce and seafood, and the terrace is the kind of spot where one cocktail quietly becomes several.

Twenty-three rooms, suites, and villas on a private stretch of Caribbean beach, plus one private island if the others feel crowded. Baoase is a small, family-run luxury resort with Balinese-inspired architecture set in tropical grounds on Curaçao. Two restaurants, an infinity pool reserved for guests, plunge pools in the suites, and sunsets the deck was clearly positioned to catch. Quiet, unhurried, and expensive in all the right ways.
