Juan Ponce de León searched for Bimini primarily in pursuit of the Fountain of Youth, a legendary spring believed to restore youth and vitality. He was motivated by the promise of wealth and the possibility of discovering new territories. His expeditions also reflected the broader European desire during the Age of Exploration to find new lands and resources in the Americas. Ultimately, he aimed to expand Spanish influence and secure his own legacy.
