BES Islands All Inclusive |

A Relaxed Caribbean Escape

An all-inclusive holiday in Bonaire, Sint Eustatius and Saba offers a refreshing alternative to the busier Caribbean resorts. These three Dutch Caribbean islands, often known together as the BES islands, are small, welcoming and full of character. Expect warm weather, clear seas and an easy-going atmosphere that makes it simple to slow down.

Each island has its own personality. Bonaire is famous for diving, windsurfing and nature, while Sint Eustatius has a fascinating history and quiet volcanic landscapes. Saba is the most rugged of the three, with forested mountain paths and spectacular views. An all-inclusive break lets you enjoy comfortable accommodation, meals and drinks while leaving plenty of time for exploring.

Bonaire Beneath The Waves

Bonaire is one of the Caribbean’s best destinations for underwater adventures. The island’s calm, exceptionally clear waters are home to coral gardens, sea turtles and shoals of bright tropical fish. Many reefs are close to shore, so even beginners can enjoy memorable snorkelling without having to travel far.

Scuba divers will find plenty to discover, from gentle reef slopes to dramatic drop-offs. On land, visit the salt pans, look out for flamingos and explore the quiet roads around Washington Slagbaai National Park. After an active day, return to your resort for a relaxed meal, a cool drink and the chance to watch the sunset over the Caribbean Sea.

History On Statia

Sint Eustatius, often called Statia, is ideal for travellers who enjoy history and peaceful scenery. The island played an important role in Caribbean trade, and its capital, Oranjestad, has atmospheric ruins, historic buildings and a waterfront that hints at its busy past. Walking through the town feels wonderfully unhurried.

Nature is just as appealing. Hike towards The Quill, a dormant volcano covered in lush vegetation, or explore the coastline and look for seabirds. With fewer visitors than many Caribbean islands, Sint Eustatius gives you space to enjoy local life and beautiful surroundings at your own pace.

Adventure On Saba

Saba is a tiny, mountainous island with a surprisingly adventurous spirit. Known as the Unspoilt Queen, it rises dramatically from the sea and is crossed by walking trails through cloud forest and tropical vegetation. The climb to Mount Scenery is a highlight for keen walkers, with changing views and a real sense of achievement.

The island is also a superb diving destination, with clear water, underwater pinnacles and rich marine life. Villages such as Windwardside have neat white cottages, red roofs and a friendly community feel. Saba is best suited to travellers who value nature, walking and tranquillity over nightlife.

Planning Your All Inclusive Holiday

When choosing an all-inclusive BES islands holiday, think about the kind of experience you want. Bonaire is generally the easiest choice for water sports and a wider range of activities, while Sint Eustatius and Saba suit visitors seeking quiet, culture and outdoor adventure. You can also combine island stays if you want to experience more than one distinctive setting.

Travel outside the busiest periods for a calmer feel, and check exactly what your package includes, particularly excursions, transfers and water sports. Wherever you stay, you can look forward to warm hospitality, beautiful coastlines and a Caribbean holiday that feels personal rather than crowded. The BES islands are a wonderful choice for discovering a quieter, more authentic side of the region.
