Saba
is ideal for the traveler looking for a secluded
haven, in peaceful and friendly surroundings.
Rising steeply from the azure sea, the tiny
island in the Caribbean is a magical experience
far away from the cares and worries of today's
hurried world.
Four
small villages are as quaint and charming as
the gentle, friendly manner of the Saban people,
descended from hardy 17th century pioneers.
Visitors feel they have stepped back in history,
yet many modern luxuries are here to be enjoyed.
Saba is a monument to nature's best above and
below the ocean's surface. The famous Saba Marine
Park is second to none. Saba is a magical place
for scuba diving, hiking, admiring the nature
or honeymooning!
The
Unspoiled Queen
Imagine an island in the Caribbean untrampled
by time. Imagine unspoiled landscapes that make
you feel like an early explorer, and friendly
English speaking people who make you feel at
home. All this is Saba ...

Because
of Saba's precipitous terrain, settling was
difficult and left for the hardy and the adventurous.
Having been under English, French, Spanish and
Dutch rule for many years, peace came with the
Dutch Crown in 1816. The cultures of the variety
of settlers are now uniquely blended into a
hard-working people. Their history of farming,
fishing and seamanship account for their keen
knowledge of their nature. Many locals are well
travelled and well educated; conversations are
easy and interesting. The Saba museums house
many artifacts and photographs which tell the
stories of settling this remote island with
its dramatic landscape.
Nature
The
Tourist Office, the Saba Conservation Foundation
and many local supporters have adequately marked
and maintain trails for easy trekking. Some
trails need a guide, all the better to fully
appreciate the botanical and historical parts
of Saba. Everyone can easily hike over and into
Saba's rain forest, tidepools, historic ruins,
and rich nature wonderland. Even a walk along
Saba's winding road will lead you to a magical
view, and a memorable vacation.
