Bonaire Rum Week Launches Photo Competition 

The most exciting event in the Dutch Caribbean of 2022 has expanded again, this time with a new Photo Competition. 

The Bonaire Rum Week Photo Competition, which launched May 5, seeks the best photos of Bonaire under or above the water. 

Whether it’s the stunning sands of Lac Bay or the fascinating frontier of the Washington Slagbaai National Park, Bonaire is blessed with one of the Caribbean’s most diverse and beautiful natural environments. 

And that’s precisely what the Bonaire Rum Week Photo Competition is celebrating. 

The top 5 photos will be published in a feature in Caribbean Journal. Every winner will also receive a Bonaire Rum Week hat and gloss poster. 

To enter, simply send your best photo of Bonaire (taken in 2022) to rum@caribjournal.com with BRW Photo Competition in the subject line. 

Photos must be a minimum of 1200 px x 675 px, horizontal orientation. 

The competition closes on June 17, the final day of Bonaire Rum Week.

Robert De Niro’s New Caribbean Beach Club 

Hollywood legend and celebrated hotelier Robert De Niro has unveiled the next phase of his development on the Caribbean island on Barbuda. 

It’s the new Beach Club at Nobu, the new Barbuda outpost of the renowned Japanese eatery that opened last year. 

The new Beach Club is what the company calls an “all-day Nobu experience,” with five private cabanas, including one for VIP experiences, along with a lounge and private dining. 

The beach club also boasts its own “Caribbean-style lounge bar,” with a mix of Nobu dishes featuring Barbuda-sourced seafood. 

The restaurant, which opened last year and has become the kind of hotspot that draws in guests by helicopter from Antigua, includes signatures like Barbudan lobster and fresh red snapper.

De Niro is already working on what will be the new Nobu Beach Inn, Nobu’s first-ever hotel In the Caribbean, and another big step for Barbuda’s post-hurricane recovery. 

That includes the highly-anticipated Barbuda Ocean Club, the second Caribbean development for Discovery Land Company, the team behind the celebrated Baker’s Bay in Abaco.
