The Leeward Antilles sit just off the coast of Venezuela and tend to fly under the radar compared to their better-known Caribbean neighbours, which is exactly why they’re worth a closer look. This is a stretch of islands where Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire each do their own thing, from desert-like landscapes and rugged coastlines to colourful Dutch-Caribbean towns and some of the clearest diving water in the region.

If you’re looking for reliable sunshine, strong sea breezes and a slightly different take on the Caribbean, this is a great place to start. We keep an eye out for affordable Flights to the Leeward Antilles, along with tips to help you figure out which island fits your kind of trip, whether that’s beaches, scuba diving or just somewhere warm and easy to switch off for a while.
