The ocean views and other outdoor surroundings create an inviting atmosphere in Bonaire. This relaxing city is known for its diving, snorkeling and windsurfing. A vacation rental can help make your stay complete—many rentals come with a full kitchen and laundry facilities.
Bonaire is fringed by gorgeous beaches, though none quite compare to the scene on Klein Bonaire. The tiny deserted island sits less than 1 mile off the coast, with water taxis whisking sunseekers across the strait. There's plenty on offer if you want to stretch your legs, from windsurfing on Lac Bay to biking along cactus-strewn trails. If you'd rather do nothing at all, Bonaire vacation rentals tick all the boxes. With private pools, sun-drenched decks and swaying hammocks all you need to bring is a good book.
Winter is high season in the ABC Islands, with legions of sunseekers descending on Bonaire. Temperatures hover around the 80s, which means oceanfront swimming pools and direct beach access are usually top priorities when selecting Bonaire vacation rentals. Unlike much of the Caribbean, Bonaire lies outside the Atlantic hurricane belt. This means that instead of ushering in wild weather, June to November is considered a sweet spot for travelers in search of shoulder season discounts and a laid-back vibe.
While some Caribbean islands champion exotic wildlife, Bonaire is famous for its wild donkeys. They roam free on the island, though the best place to meet friendly jacks and jennies is the Donkey Sanctuary. Don't forget to bring a stash of carrots for your new furry friends. Birders will jump at the chance to spot the yellow-throated Amazon parrot, an endangered species protected at the Echo Parrot Sanctuary. Head to the Gotomeer saltwater lagoon and you'll find yourself face to face with a hot-pink flock of flamingos.
