DUTCH GOOD LOOKS

Look out for quirky Dutch architecture gracing this constituent country of the Netherlands. With Bonaire and Curaçao, it forms the Dutch Caribbean ABC islands.

BONBINI!

It means "welcome" in Papiamento, but it's also the name of a flamboyant weekly folk festival that takes place every Tuesday in the capital of Oranjestad.

BEYOND THE BEACH

Climb to the peak of volcanic Hooiberg or explore the natural wonders of Arikok National Park, from sprawling sand dunes to prehistoric caves.

HAPPY AT SEA

Dive beneath the waves to explore shipwrecks and reefs, kayak or stand-up paddleboard, and take on kite or wind-surfing. Adventure awaits at sea.
