Belnem is a private community on the Dutch Caribbean island of Bonaire. It is was named after American singer Harry Belafonte and Aruban businessman Maurice Neme. The area was developed as a luxurious private community starting in 1966, with Belafonte and Neme serving as the first directors of the Bel-Nem Caribbean Development Corporation. The community initially consisted of at least 30 houses and a connecting road, and it has since expanded with more residential neighbourhoods being added.
