Bon Bini Bonaire!
Bonaire is the place to be for anyone looking for relaxation, nature and adventure in one destination. With pearl-white beaches, crystal-clear waters, colourful coral reefs and a laid-back Caribbean atmosphere, the island feels like a paradise for sunseekers and diving enthusiasts alike. Thanks to its warm climate and wide range of activities, Bonaire is a destination you can enjoy all year round.
Must-Do’s in Bonaire
A stay on Bonaire can be as active or as relaxed as you want it to be. In charming Kralendijk, colourful streets lead you past cosy local bars and restaurants, offering a taste of the island’s easygoing rhythm. For those drawn to the water, Bonaire more than lives up to its reputation as “Diver’s Paradise”, with some of the world’s top diving and snorkelling spots waiting just offshore.
The island’s underwater beauty is best experienced in Bonaire National Marine Park, where vibrant marine life and coral reefs create an unforgettable setting. On land, Washington Slagbaai National Park offers a very different side of Bonaire, with hiking trails through rugged natural surroundings. A road trip across the island also belongs on the list, taking you past the salt flats, the pink flamingos of Pekelmeer and the Flamingo Sanctuary.
For travellers who enjoy a more active escape, Lac Bay is a hotspot for windsurfing and kitesurfing, while kayaking through the mangroves offers a quieter way to discover Bonaire’s natural beauty. And for a more romantic moment, there is little that compares to watching the sunset during a private sailing trip.
Where to Stay?
For your stay, there are two strong options, both offering a small-scale setting and a sense of freedom. Belnem House Bonaire is a boutique apartment complex in the Belnem villa district, close to Bachelor’s Beach. It is ideal for divers, beach lovers and those looking for peace and quiet. The modern and stylish studios and apartments all come with a kitchen, while the pool and tropical garden create an exclusive and relaxed atmosphere.
Resort Bonaire is a great fit for families and groups. The spacious and fully equipped rooms and apartments make it a comfortable base for a week of pure relaxation, with popular beaches nearby and Kralendijk just a short distance away. The resort also has its own dive school, apartments set around the pool and pool bar, and even a real sandy beach at one of the pools. For extra convenience, guests can book breakfast with their stay or grab a quick bite at Paradise Pizza.
Explore Bonaire Your Way
To get the most out of the island, renting a car is the way to go. Booking your stay as a Fly & Go package, including a rental car for the entire trip, gives you the freedom to discover Bonaire at your own pace and make the most of everything the island has to offer.
