Sand Dollar Bonaire offers independent vacation living in paradise.
Studios, as well as one-, two-, and three-bedroom oceanfront apartments, are privately owned and professionally managed. Each condo is fully air-conditioned and features comfortable sleeping areas, ensuite bathrooms, and fully equipped kitchens. These accommodations are thoughtfully decorated, meticulously cleaned, and stocked with every necessary amenity. With convenient parking directly in front, each unit also offers fast, reliable private Wi-Fi. Spacious porches, often screened, provide an indoor-outdoor living experience.
The large, peaceful property provides ample space for relaxation and solitude. The oceanfront walkway is a highlight, featuring multiple sun decks with loungers, outdoor showers, and BBQ facilities. Guests can access the ocean via several convenient stairways, a private dock, and a small, sandy beach. Just steps from the shoreline, divers and snorkelers can explore the stunning Bari Reef, known for its rich marine life. The property also offers a dive shop, two restaurants, and a swimming pool, providing a combination of comfort, value, and a secure, natural oceanfront setting.
Sand Dollar Bonaire offers an unparalleled diving experience, with easy access to Bari Reef, a sheltered reef renowned for its incredible marine diversity. Guests enjoy exclusive access to the reef through multiple entry points, including giant stride entries or stairs from the dock, a walk-in entry from the sandy beach, and additional stairways at the sun decks. Dive Friends Bonaire, a PADI 5 Star dive center located on-site, offers 24-hour access to air and Nitrox tanks (available in 80 and 63 cft) at both the dock and a convenient drive-thru location near the gear locker room. The dive center provides all necessary services, including boat dives, courses, and multiple tank pick-up locations across the island.
Diving at Sand Dollar is made even more convenient with Dive Friends Bonaire’s facilities, which allow for both on-property and off-property diving at over 50 shore dive sites along Bonaire’s leeward coast. After gearing up, divers can easily wade into the water, slip on fins, and enjoy a short surface swim to the drop-off. The return swim offers the chance to observe shallow water marine life such as pods of squid or yellow-headed jawfish hiding in the coral rubble.
For those seeking to expand their dive experiences, boat diving opens up access to Klein Bonaire and other unique sites that are not reachable from shore. Dive Friends Bonaire offers two-tank morning boat dives daily at 8:15 AM and one-tank afternoon dives (with a minimum of four divers) at 2:15 PM. Divers can choose to follow a guide or explore independently.
Additionally, Dive Friends Bonaire offers a range of courses for those interested in dive certification or continuing education.
