Bonaire Vacations Blog by Harbour Village

Pretty much everyone knows how great the diving conditions are surrounding the island of Bonaire.  It truly is a diver’s paradise and people from across the country come to experience the magical underwater world.  But, Bonaire isn’t just about diving and snorkeling!  In fact, Bonaire is one of the top windsurfing locales worldwide!

It’s true, located on the windward side of the island known as Sorobon, lies Bonaire’s Lac Bay and it is reported to offer near perfect conditions for windsurfers – no matter what their level!  On any given day, you can peer out to the shallow waters of the bay and see the beautiful windsurfing sails enjoying the winds.

Two great windsurfing locales in Bonaire are The Place and Jibe City.  They are both laid back and relaxed windsurf centers located on the East coast of the island.  Great for divers of all levels, they are ideal spots for beginners and families trying out the sport. Lac Bay features a safe beach with shallow, warm waters.  The constant onshore trade winds and the warm temperatures make it a coveted windsurfing destination.  Who knows, you just might spy some of the world’s best freestylers practicing their moves!

Windsurfing conditions are so ideal in Bonaire that the island hosts the World Junior Championships every August.

If you are interested in improving your windsurfing skills, Bonaire is a great place to be. We hope to see you soon enjoying one of the finest windsurfing destinations in the world!

Spared by the wrath of Hurricane Omar, Harbour Village Beach Club suffered no major damage during this weeks storm that left so many others on the island not so lucky.

The Club took preventative measures before and after the storm, which led to a swift clean-up effort. Thanks to the dedication and positive attitude of all the staff, who were determined to make the effect on our guest’s stays as minimal as possible, La Balandra Restaurant was open and operational Wednesday night and Great Adventures Bonaire, our on-site dive and water sports operator, also resumed operations.

Below are some photos of the beach.  We look forward to welcoming you to paradise soon!
