About Belmar Oceanfront Apartments

This is one of Bonaire’s most relaxed small resorts, with an outstanding selection of dive and stay packages and easy to arrange extras like rental cars and guided excursions around the island. Belmar is located in a quiet residential area, with a beautiful beach and numerous tourist facilities just a few minutes walk from the front gate. You’ll also find shopping, dining, and drinking options right down the road - and all of the northern and southern dive sites on the leeward side of the island a short drive away.

Each of Belmar’s beautiful oceanfront apartments boasts contemporary furnishings and an upbeat island ambience. These spotlessly clean spaces are ideal for families and groups, with optional interconnecting floor plans and accessible first-floor spaces just steps from the sea. No matter which apartment you choose, you’ll enjoy breathtaking ocean views with a chance to spot the green flash - a meteorological phenomenon that takes place just as the setting sun hits Bonaire’s horizon. This small resort also offers a number of relaxing outdoor spaces, a waterfront pool area, sun deck and lounge, and spacious terraces in all of its 22 rooms.

Explore the resort

Belmar’s 22 private and spacious apartments feel like a home away from home, with stylish and comfortable furnishings and fantastic facilities for guests of all stripes. Fully equipped kitchens and dining tables make it easy to self-cater meals and pack healthy takeaway snacks for long days of diving, while the private balconies are ideal for enjoying sunset cocktails. And, if you ever decide to leave your room, head down to the oceanfront mineral pool for a swim or take it easy in a lounger - with just a handful of guests on-site, there’s plenty of room for everyone.

During your stay at Belmar Oceanfront Apartments, you'll find numerous options for shopping, dining, and drinking within walking distance, including a casual pizzeria, a gourmet bistro, and a well-stocked grocery store. And, a short drive into Kralendijk gives you access to all the island’s most beloved establishments and attractions. This resort’s private dock and sun deck are perfect for tanning and taking it easy in between dives and offer direct access to the sea, with snorkelling and scuba diving on the house reef just a few fin kicks from the shore.

Diving with Buddy Dive

Divers at Belmar will enjoy the full-service partner dive centre, Buddy Dive, just steps from their front door. Rent tanks and explore the island independently, take advantage of an unlimited dive package, or opt for a bit of added guidance from one of the shop’s friendly divemasters -  this operator has an option for every skill level! Other exciting offerings include a full range of courses from PADI and NAUI and technical instruction by GUE. Distinctive speciality training is also offered, including lionfish hunting, ultraviolet night diving, and underwater scooters. Buddy Dive offers air-conditioned classrooms, a dedicated training pool, and an expert international team to help each student reach their full potential.

Buddy Dive explores over 80 dive sites, from shore or via their fleet of six speedboats. For added convenience, they offer tank filling stations all around the island and a delivery service - so you can dive wherever and whenever you want! If you’re diving from shore, just look for the yellow painted rocks that mark each dive site’s entrance. Not quite ready to head out on your own? No worries! Hire a private guide to help you learn the ropes or hit the house reef just metres from Belmar’s private dock.
