Divi Planning To Build Resort on Bonaire

. October 14, 2008

AUGUST 23, 2006. The Divi Group, which operates nine Divi Resorts on six Caribbean islands, as well as two all inclusive resorts in Aruba, has announced that it will build a new beachfront all inclusive resort on the Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire.

Construction of the resort is expected to begin in spring 2007, with completion scheduled for the end of 2008. Offering an all inclusive program based on the same successful all inclusive concept as the Divi Tamarijn Aruba All Inclusives in Aruba, the new resort will rise to four stories and will feature 275 spacious ocean and beach view units plus sixty ocean view condominiums adjacent to the property.

The condos will available for full ownership with a hotel rental program and people who own/use these units will have access to all resort facilities.

Resort amenities will include a large beach, full service dive center, state-of-the-art fitness center, rock climbing wall, large infinity pool, a selection of restaurants and bars, on-site spa, casino and shops.

All food and beverage outlets will be open to non-hotel guests as well as guests of the Divi Flamingo Beach Resort Casino, Divi Resorts current property in Bonaire.

Management of the new all inclusive resort will fall under the Divi All Inclusive Group in Aruba, with both properties on the island sharing a management team.

"As the first all inclusive on Bonaire we will be able to introduce the island to a new segment of travelers that enjoy the ease and wide array of amenities offered by an all inclusive property," said Alex Nieuwmeyer, who oversees Divi's operations in Aruba and Bonaire. "The untapped market potential of Bonaire and the opportunity to expand the Divi brand in a destination that is committed to sustainable tourism and that we have a history in (as the operators of the Divi Flamingo) made good business sense."

Divi Little Bay has also been nominated this year for a World Travel Award as St. Maarten's Leading Resort.
