Experience Saba

Because Saba has remained unnoticed by mass tourism, the island still exudes an
authentic atmosphere. Everything here is in its original state. This applies to
nature, but certainly also for the characteristic buildings, museums and churches.
The facilities of the few hotels are of a progressive standard. Almost all guest
rooms have an uninterrupted view of the sea. The 15 restaurants and cafes are
spread out over the island.

There is no question about the level of hospitality and customer friendliness of the
Sabans. They count on a public which comes to enjoy nature and relaxation. In
exchange for the respect for the island and its inhabitants, a few hundred tourists
a week are given the opportunity to enjoy the unique, easy-going atmosphere.
Saba is part of the Caribbean. This means the calendar is richly filled with festivities.
The entire population takes part, without exception. Count on the guests being
more than welcome to join the festivities. ‘The unspoiled queen’ retains her grace.
