Oasis Real Estate · Bonaire
IThe practice
Preparation is most of the work.
Oasis advises owners and buyers of residential and commercial property on Bonaire. The practice is small by intention rather than by circumstance.
Selling here is not the exercise it is elsewhere. There is no multiple listing service, title passes before a civil-law notary, and a significant share of land is held on long lease from the island. We prepare the file first and offer it second — slower to begin, materially faster to conclude.
IIIThe island
Bonaire, at eye level.
Two hundred and eighty-eight square kilometres, some 25,000 inhabitants, and more than three hundred days of sun a year. Bonaire lies outside the hurricane belt, the reef begins a few strokes from shore, and the island is a special municipality of the Netherlands: Dutch administration, Dutch law, and a tax system of its own.
IVWhere we work
The whole island, district by district.
From Rincon in the north to the salt pans in the south is under forty kilometres. Even so, two districts a mile apart can tell completely different stories — and that difference often decides everything.
- KralendijkThe town. Everything within walking distance: the notaries, the harbour and the shops. The densest part of the island.
- Sabadeco & Santa BarbaraNorth of town, on the hill and the terraces above it. Larger houses, sea views, and usually owned land rather than long lease.
- BelnemThe coastal strip south of the airport. Generous plots, the sea on one side, and remarkably quiet.
- Hato, Republiek & NikibokoNorth of Kralendijk and slightly inland. Established residential districts, mixed in character, and ten minutes from anywhere.
- Lac Bay & the southThe windward lagoon, with the salt pans to the south of it. Much of it is protected, supply is small, and the demand comes from an entirely different direction.
- Rincon & the northThe old village in the valley, with the Washington Slagbaai park behind it. Land is scarcer here, and the village has a character all of its own.
VHow we work
