  Bonaire : Profile

Facts

  • Bonaire is the easternmost of the ABC islands, which are part of the Netherlands Antilles.

  • With its stunning underwater scenery, Bonaire is ranked as one of the top three dive spots in the world, and the whole island is a protected marine park.

  • Bonaire is less densely populated than its neighbour Curacao and also less developed. The slow pace of life on the island and its relaxed population have an enduring charm.

  • For visiting sailors the attraction also lies in the better than average repair and service facilities. Marina berths & services are available at Harbour Village Marina (also known as Bonaire Marina), Plaza Resort Marina and Club Nautico.

Weather

Bonaire lies outside the hurricane zone.
