Island Living

Perched on the clifftop in Bonaire, just a few steps away from the water, this penthouse apartment is the epitome of island living. Unforgettable views come at you from every angle, whether you're sipping cocktails on the balcony, lounging on the sumptuous sofa in the living area or barbecuing on the rooftop terrace. The latter makes for a top spot to dine alfresco and watch the sunset over the glimmering water – trust us, it's as idyllic as it looks.

Inside, the design is modern, bright and all about that sea scenery. The main bedroom is a showstopper – after a day of hiking along the rugged coast, soothe aching muscles in the en-suite jacuzzi bathtub where the vistas are so good, you'll never want to get out.

But when you do decide to pull yourself away, there are a few bars and restaurants within walking distance, plus plenty more in Alcúdia, ten minutes away by car. Adrenaline junkies can jump off the rocks and swim right in front of the home, but for a more laid-back beach day, Platja de San Pere is a ten-minute stroll away.

Home truths:
*A cot and high chair can be provided on request *Only the main bedroom faces the ocean – the other two are at the back of the home and don't offer any views *You will likely be able to hear other people, as they like to sunbathe and listen to music on the rocks in front of the home *As this is directly on the water, it's not the most private *Public transport to Alcudia only runs a few times a day, so we'd recommend hiring a car if you want to explore the local area *There are no private parking facilities here, but you can park in the free public parking area about 200m away
