ear Visitor, I wish you a very warm welcome to our beautiful island Saba, the Unspoiled Queen of the Caribbean... Our enchanted isle has always fascinated travelers, intrigued scholars, and scientist from around the world.
Saba sits majestically on the horizon like a rare green jewel floating on the shimmering blue tropical Caribbean Sea. Lush tropical foliage, brilliant flowers and fairy tale architecture fill the mountainsides and valleys. The entire island is exceptionally unspoiled and beautifully maintained, reflective of the locals’ deep sense of pride in their home, villages, and history. Its relative remoteness in the open sea also creates a unique ecosystem and a monument to nature’s best. From an arid cactus-laden landscape which is quickly overtaken by rocky cliffs and tropical vegetation, breathtaking views are everywhere. Hikers can enjoy over 15 trails and Saba’s unique cloud forest Mount Scenery the highest point in the entire Dutch Kingdom sits at 877 meters or 2,877 feet. The island has accommodations to suit every style and budget - from intimate boutique hotels to luxury villas and charming cottages. Foodies can savor gastronomic options ranging from casual to stylish, while enjoying our fresh seafood and the famous Saba lobster. Saba’s wealth stretches beyond its island boundaries. Its surrounding waters contain a unique marine ecosystem renowned for the biodiversity of its marine life and are recognized to be among the world’s finest marine parks and diving sites. So whether you’re here to dive, hike, or to relax, rejuvenate and invigorate, we are pleased to have you visit us and hope you can share your experience with family and friends. Your island adventure and Caribbean dream awaits! Malinda Hassell Director of Tourism 168
