The magic of Home Of The Muse

Where you will be hospitably received and well taken care of by Wanda and JB. We experienced magical moments during the master class by Paul de Munnik. Writing your own song and then sharing it with the rest of the participants, together with the story behind it, which led to beautiful conversations, to being touched, and to an enormous connection. In the meantime, we make a lot of music and have fun together in one of the rooms where there is always someone playing a song or an instrument. Paul de Munnik ensured that we could work on our own song in a relaxed atmosphere. I got a lot of individual attention. As I am a beginner I never thought I would finish a song in 2 days but thanks to Paul I did. Very happy with his input and feedback! And also a nice recording of it thanks to JB. And to top it all off, a closing performance where I sang my song and also sang together with Paul. An unforgettable experience! Not enough words to describe the magic!

Beautiful adventure

Spending a week at Home of the Muse allowed me to feel my passion for music. ``What an inspiring place, what kind people and what a beautiful adventure I had on Bonaire.`` Together with Paul de Munnik I was allowed to write and sing a song. A dream come true. To be able to create such a personal song in such a short time felt very special to me.
Every meal was a party and all facilities are there to fully immerse yourself in musical/creative atmospheres. Wanda and JB are for me the ultimate hostess and host. Nothing is too much, the personal approach is very nice and you have an eye for detail.
For anyone who has even the slightest doubt .... do it, experience it. It is an enormous enrichment.

Magical Place

We had been walking around with the idea of starting a creative retreat on Bonaire for a few years. When the wheels of our car crunched over the gravel of the driveway for the first time, it was a done deal. This was where it had to happen! At this point, we are several months into the renovation. It's great to see how the mansion continues to blossom and how inspiration begins to flow from everyone who comes to take a look. It's not an empty slogan, I think that 'the muse' really lives here!

Wanda Bommer

Unique and creative

Before the opening I had the opportunity to take a look at Home of the Muse on Bonaire. A beautiful estate situated in nature between Kralendijk and Sorobon with 12 rooms, a large swimming pool and an outdoor theater. The entire complex was recently renovated and decorated with an eye for detail. An inspiring environment for the creative Master classes, Wanapa nights and corporate training that will be given here and a wonderful group accommodation to rent.
Home of the Muse is a unique and creative concept from JB and Wanda and I can't wait for it to be in full operation.

Serenity

When I first came through the gate of the estate, I immediately felt the serenity of the house and its surroundings. And I have since shared the Bonairean consensus: it is a special place! Such a place deserves a special idea, et voilà, Home Of The Muse was born. I hope to be able to welcome people and do beautiful and inspiring things here until the end of time.

An oasis of creative energy

When you drive through the gate at Home of the Muse you immediately feel an oasis of serenity and creative energy. What a special place this is. The combination of the stately mansion with palm trees and the relaxation of the sun and the pool are the perfect ingredients to get started. It invites you to create and undertake from relaxation, in connection with yourself.

Space for yourself

Home of the Muse is more than a place on earth where you can stay. It is a little paradise on earth where you can stay. While everything you need is at your fingertips: a cool room, a lovely bed, luxurious plumbing, it is not forgotten where you are, namely on Bonaire, a Caribbean island where the warm wind blows, the sun rises and sets in ten minutes, and light and air are part of your unforgettable experience there. In Home of the Muse, life melts together perfectly. While you take a refreshing dip in the pool, hummingbirds feast on the tropical flowers and a goat meows next door. There is room for comfort and for nature, and therefore for yourself.

Where creativity and learning come together

Home of the Muse is not just another estate. Both inside and outside the creativity radiates from it. I was impressed by the design of the spaces and rooms. Gorgeous colors and design that you won't find anywhere else. The large pool is one of a kind and from the rooftop bar I had a fantastic view of Bonaire. Home of the Muse is for me the perfect place to let creativity and learning come together.

Breathtaking surroundings

The surroundings of Home Of The Muse are breathtaking with many palm trees, colorful flowers and cacti. On the way there, you may run into flamingos, donkeys and goats. Once checked into the country house you can cool off in the pool and sunbathe on the sundeck. In the bar upstairs you can enjoy a cocktail and the always impressive sunset. A cozy barbecue area completes the relaxed life. The recently renovated and furnished rooms testify to taste and luxury. I am sure that the building, the library, the common areas, the garden and the open-air stage will allow everyone's creativity and inspiration to blossom.

Where stories been made

If you are looking for a place that is totally different from ordinary hotels or resorts, a place where stories are made, a place where you have enough space and time to do what you like during your vacation, a place that is funky but at the same time quiet: stop looking, this is it!

The mansion comes to life again

It is great to be able to experience the whole process. From the renovation of the beautiful mansion to the creativity and brainstorming with the initiators Wanda and JB and all the other people involved. Over the past few months we have been able to see that every space in the mansion is coming back to life and ready to serve for everyone's creativity, talent and conviviality. We can't wait for the opening of Home Of The Muse and to welcome you along with JB and Wanda to this beautiful and very special place.

A home with a soul

To transform a house into a home with soul is the mutual dream of power couple Wanda & JB. These pioneers of creativity share a new and innovative story on Bonaire with a passionate heart for hospitality. Are you in for a warm welcome in their home where artists and musicians are friends of the house? Don’t hesitate and join one of the masterclasses in this island hide-away. No doubt it will inspire you for life.
