This small Dutch Caribbean island lies just 18 miles off the coast of Venezuela and is a unique cultural melting pot of people, languages and cuisine. Here, you can enjoy year-round sunshine, the picture-perfect palm-fringed white sand beaches of the south, dramatic landscapes of the north, the hiking trails, wildlife and ruins of Arikok National Park in the east, and the wild scenery that is found in the middle of the island, spreading out to the west.
