Bonaire Self Catering Lodging & Accommodation

Imagine a vacation where cool trade winds constantly blow, wild parrots fly among towering cacti and green iguanas bask in the sun along island roads. Imagine a lodge located only 15 minutes from major tourist attractions, but far enough away that you can relax quietly among the wonders of nature. That place is now on Bonaire.

Welcome to Auriga Ecolodge and Gecko Ecolodge

Staying at Auriga and Gecko Ecolodge is a unique Caribbean experience. You can stroll through the surrounding kunuku (countryside) and learn how the local people live. Take a short hike and watch the waves crash upon Bonaire's "wild side".

Internet access is possible and naturists are welcome. See some of the wildlife at the lodge on a beautiful video made by a guest.

After dark, the fun continues. Stare at the Milky Way from the "stargazer platform" on top of the lodge and witness a million stars. With a 360-degree view, you can also spot Bonaire's night creatures including owls, bats and nocturnal birds called nightjars.
