The 111-square-mile island of Bonaire is a magnet for scuba divers, but also attracts wind surfers to Lac Bay and kite surfers to Atlantis Beach. Pink Beach, on the island’s southwestern shore, and Washington-Slagbaai National Park, on its northern tip, are each less than 20 minutes away by car. Market OverviewThe Dutch island of Bonaire, with about 21,000 residents, has long attracted outsiders with its arid climate, coral reefs and relatively low risk of hurricanes. “The outbreak of the pandemic has only enhanced the island’s appeal,” Mr. Cooper said. He also pointed to Bonaire’s stability on the U.S. dollar, which the island adopted as its currency in 2011.
