I never knew that the Netherlands has 6 stunning islands in the Caribbean. These beautiful islands offer a relaxing vacation, in less crowded destinations. You’ll meet friendly locals, who speak Dutch, and experience a quiet, laidback attitude. Each island enjoys its own appeal with plenty of activities ranging from diving to gambling or shopping. |

Sint Eustatius, shows no signs of modernization, offering a vacation free of tourist fads. The heavenly island only has one town, Oranjestad and enjoys a slow pace. Vacationers can fill their days hiking, diving or at the beach. In July, the island sees a little bit more life with the Statia Carnival celebrating music, dance, and local cuisine. |
Saba |

At just 13 square kilometers (5 square miles) mountainous Saba also boasts the Netherlands highest point.

This island is such a stunning piece of real estate that the Dutch and French share the land. The Dutch section is a third of the island and called Sint Maarten while the French call their part Saint Martin. The island boasts a golf course, several restaurants and wonderful shopping in capital Philipsburg and a whopping 37 beaches. The island is also famous for its airport’s landing strip close to the beach, which makes it appear as if airplanes are landing on the water. |
Curacao |
