Legacy in Every Glass
Boutique Speakeasy is more than a cocktail bar; it is a tribute to the Neme family’s cultural legacy, founded by twins Maurice and Karim Neme. We invite you to join us in celebrating a vibrant chapter of Aruban history, rooted in a family tradition that has welcomed the world to our shores for generations.
Pioneers of the Island Spirit
In 1942, the Neme family helped shape Aruba’s tourism industry with the founding of the Basi Ruti and Coral Strand Hotels—the true pioneers of the island’s hospitality sector. Their father, Maurice Neme, was a visionary whose influence reached far beyond hotel walls; as Aruba’s first Carnival Prince, he inspired the lasting island tradition of Prince and Pancho, cementing the Neme name in the heart of Aruban culture.
