Saba
Home » The Caribbean » The Caribbean » SabaWhile Saba is a Caribbean Island, it is not a typical island. There are no sandy shores for beach lovers and no glitzy casinos but you can enjoy the quiet tranquility of the four small villages, beautiful mountainside scenery, and wonderful scuba diving in Saba. There are only about 1000 residents in Saba and it only draws around 25,000 visitors yearly.
Saba is called the “Unspoiled Queen” because it is an island that has not been spoiled by time. Saba offers stunning hiking trails, day spas, and pristine diving at 26 dive spots. The island is so small that diving boats can reach all sites within minutes where you will enjoy the rich corals, lava tunnels and hot springs. There are colorful tropical fish as well as groupers, jacks, turtles, and rays of all sizes and shapes in Saba.
You’ll want to visit the colorful villages of Hell’s Gate, Windwardside, St. John, and The Bottom. Be sure to pick up some of the Saban lace which is called “Spanish work” because the art was imported from Venezuela and some of the famous Saba spice. It is a potent spice containing all types of spicy products and then it is spiked with 151-proof rum.
Saba offers cozy inns, luxurious hotels, and guesthouses for accommodations. There are restaurant choices from fine dining to local treats.
