Founded in the 16th century by the Spanish, Rincón is the oldest settlement not only of Bonaire but the entire Dutch Caribbean. Its location, in the valley, once provided shelter from pirates. Today, it offers great hiking options with breathtaking views. As a cultural centre, it is home to attractions such as the rock formations of Gruta Lourdes, a pilgrimage site, and the Kas Krioyo, an authentic Bonairean building that currently houses a museum. The island's only distillery, Cadushy, is also located here, and it is worth timing your visit so you can celebrate with the locals on Rincón Day on 30 April.

This natural reserve covers an area of 57 square kilometres in the north of the island and is home to species ranging from flamingos to iguanas and sea turtles, not to mention the distinctive flora including several species of cacti. The visitor centre at the entrance houses a museum and is the starting point of hiking trails throughout the park.

Ranked by Le Figaro as one of the most beautiful beaches in France, La Plage du Petit Spérone transports you to an entirely different world. With pure waters and fine golden sand, it's as if a tropical island has magically appeared in the Mediterranean. What sets this beach apart is its serenity, even during the peak summer months it remains remarkably uncrowded.
