Baoase Luxury Resort in Curacao Offers Dreamy Massages and Island Inspired-Treatments in Open-Air Spa Gazebos at the Beach
The spa at Baoase Luxury Resort in Curacao is nestled on an oceanfront enclave with open-air gazebos for treatments.
Baoase Luxury Resort in Curacao is arguably the Caribbean’s best-kept secret. 40 miles off the coast of Venezuela, the Dutch island is one of the more unique and less-visited destinations in the region, but unquestionably one of the most beautiful — especially the private Baoase resort, which has seen the likes of Princess Anne, Sherri Shepherd, and other well-known guests.
The Best Spas in the Caribbean
The spa is nestled on an oceanfront enclave with open-air gazebos for treatments including massages, facials, and body rituals inspired by the island. Baoase is barefoot luxury at its finest: everything feels luxurious and elevated while also retaining the island’s laidback charm.
The gazebos echo a private villa in a lavish vacation home, allowing guests to soak in the ocean view, inhale salty air, and feel the natural breeze before a treatment.
One of the spa’s highlights is a beautiful stone soaking tub set against ocean views.
Amenities include an outdoor shower and perhaps the most gorgeous part of the entire hotel: a stone soaking tub perched right against the postcard-worthy water view.
