About Saba

Perched in the Caribbean Netherlands, Saba is a lush volcanic gem where jungle hikes and world-class diving steal the show. You won’t find sprawling beach resorts here—hotels are intimate, character-packed, and perfectly suited to the island’s adventurous spirit. Couples can tuck into charming hillside cottages, while families and groups will love the spacious villas around Windwardside. For a splash of indulgence, boutique resorts with ocean-view suites offer stylish comfort. Saba’s stays are as unique and memorable as the island itself.

Base yourself in Windwardside, a picture-perfect town of red-and-white cottages, cosy cafes, and little museums that hint at Saba’s history — from colonial times at the Dutch Museum to even earlier Amerindian settlements in the Harry L. Johnson Museum. Beyond Windwardside, you can meander through the villages of The Bottom, Hell’s Gate, and St Johns, each with its own quiet charm. But what really steals the show is Saba’s natural beauty: this “Unspoiled Queen” is a haven for hikers and divers alike, whether you’re climbing the 1,064 steps up Mount Scenery, wandering cloud-forest trails alive with birdsong, or plunging beneath the waves to swim alongside turtles, sharks, and schools of tropical fish. Add in cliffside views, sailing, kayaking, and the warmth of the local dive shops, and you’ve got an island that feels both adventurous and welcoming
