Bonaire Spa serves the diving capital of the Caribbean, an island whose surrounding Bonaire National Marine Park was established in 1979 and is recognized as one of the best-managed and most biodiverse coral reef ecosystems in the entire Atlantic basin, supporting more than 350 species of fish and 57 species of coral in waters so clear that visibility regularly exceeds 30 meters. Inland, the vast southern salt flats of pink crystallizing brine support one of the Western Hemisphere's most important flamingo colonies, with thousands of Caribbean flamingos wading through the hypersaline pools in scenes of otherworldly beauty that have made Bonaire famous among wildlife photographers. The spa's mineral-rich waters, drawing from the geology of this limestone coral island in the Dutch Caribbean, provide a restorative complement to days spent underwater on reefs of extraordinary beauty or on land amid the pink salt and the flamingos.
