Caribbean Netherlands, Island group in Caribbean Sea, Netherlands.

The Caribbean Netherlands comprises three islands: Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba, spanning 322 square kilometers in the Lesser Antilles region of the Caribbean Sea.

The Caribbean Netherlands received its current status in 2010 after the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles, transforming these territories into special municipalities of the Netherlands.

Dutch remains the official language across the three islands, while English serves as the primary language in Saba and Sint Eustatius, and Papiamentu in Bonaire.

The United States dollar functions as the official currency across all three islands, replacing the Netherlands Antillean guilder since January 2011.

Mount Scenery on Saba reaches 887 meters above sea level, making it the highest geographical point in the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands.
