Accommodations

Delfins Beach Resort will become Bonaire’s newest resort, opened in January 2022. The 19,375-square-foot property will come with a conference room and meeting room equipped with modern facilities, a new Asian restaurant and a fitness and wellness center.
Set to open in 2023, the owners of Bonaire Resort announced the building of Sunset Beach Resort for guests wanting a Bonarian-style stay in luxury apartments and penthouses. The resort will include a large pool with sunbeds, a restaurant, casino and beach bar.
Restaurants & Bars

Grandi
Grandi blends elements of a restaurant with that of a wine bar for the ultimate evening experience in Bonaire. First opening Dec. 7, 2021, Grandi offers guests Italian-inspired dishes using fresh, local ingredients. Guests can also choose from a carefully curated wine selection to complement any dish chosen.
Sustainable Efforts
Reef Renewal Bonaire, a local group working to preserve and restore the reefs of Bonaire through sustainable community involvement, made great strides since 2021 to enact needed change. The group has produced almost 2,500 certified reef renewal divers and oversaw the planting of more than 7,500 new pieces of coral in 2021 alone. As of 2022, 80 percent of all local dive centers in Bonaire participate in the reef renewal program.

Nov 29, 2023Review: Hilton Head Health
As a peripatetic traveler, I am always trying to balance the pleasures of dining well with a life-long challenge to control my weight. It’s not always easy, because I consider tasting typical, authentic regional dishes among the highlights of most journeys, and those foods are rarely known for “healthful” rankings! So, I started staying at spas way back in the 1980s — before they were ubiquitous — because meals were assured to be pure, clean and wholesome.

On a late-summer afternoon warmed by the high-altitude sun, the clean scent of scraggly sagebrush wafting through the air, I followed a trail with other riders, tugging at the rein as my horse munched on high grass. The friendly wranglers discouraged us from allowing this “eating on the job,” but I couldn’t blame my horse, as we all anticipated liquid treats at the end of our dusty ride.
