Anabui, Aruba’s first and only Private Residence Club, is a development of the Van der Valk Hospitality Group, a Netherlands-based company established three-quarters of a century ago and still operated with pride and integrity as a family business.

In 1939 Martien and Rie van der Valk opened a restaurant in Voorschoten. Thanks to hard work and a welcoming, homely approach, their business became a success. In the years following World War II, together with their 11 children they built a number of restaurants. Today, their grandchildren and great-grandchildren have developed the company to include more than 80 hotels, restaurants and resorts in Europe, the United States and the Caribbean, with combined revenue in excess of $1 billion. Martien and Rie’s view on hospitability remains the foundation of the successful “Van der Valk formula,” and their attitude and spirit of enterprise are an example for younger Valk generations.

Now, with the introduction of Anabui, the Van der Valk family expands their interests in to the world of Private Residence Club ownership. However, be certain that one thing will never change: The outstanding values of quality, customer service and loyalty that have been the hallmark of four generations of true hospitality.
