grouping of the Caribbean islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba, part of the Netherlands
The Caribbean Netherlands refers to three small islands—Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba—that are located in the Caribbean Sea but governed as part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. These islands matter because they extend Dutch sovereignty into the Caribbean region and are home to distinct communities with their own local cultures and economies.

Encyclopedic overview
The Caribbean Netherlands (Dutch: Caribisch Nederland, pronounced [kaˈribis ˈneːdərlɑnt] ) is a geographic region of the Netherlands located outside Europe, in the Caribbean, consisting of three special municipalities. These are the islands of Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba, as they are also known in legislation, or the BES islands for short. The islands are officially classified as public bodies in the Netherlands and as overseas territories of the European Union; as such, European Union law does not automatically apply to them.
Bonaire (including the islet of Klein Bonaire) is one of the Leeward Antilles and is located close to the coast of Venezuela. Sint Eustatius and Saba are in the main Lesser Antilles group and are located south of Sint Maarten and northwest of Saint Kitts and Nevis. The Caribbean Netherlands, a term distinct from the comprehensive Dutch Caribbean, has a population of 31,980.
