Saba Guide

Know Before You Go...®

Saba is part of the Netherlands Antilles situated just off the coast of St. Maarten. It has a tiny airfield that is an experience in and of itself. There are a number of small hotels, guest cottages, villas, and a lovely resort on the island, but it is otherwise unspoiled by commercialism and industry. There are two dive shops on Saba to support the main sport here, and a Marine Park that helps preserve the natural state of the coral reefs that surround the island. This is a great place to get away from the hectic day-to-day routine of your life and just enjoy nature and the tropical breezes that fan the island.
