Why visit Saba?

Saba is a tiny, steep volcanic island in the Caribbean and part of the Caribbean Netherlands. It rises straight out of the sea, with almost no beaches, and is covered by green forest that climbs up to the top of Mount Scenery, the highest point in the whole Kingdom of the Netherlands. Its small villages of white houses with red roofs, a single winding road and friendly people give it a calm, unspoiled feel, very different from the busy beach islands nearby.

Hikers can climb the many steps to the summit of Mount Scenery through rainforest and, on a clear day, enjoy wide views over the sea and the neighbouring islands. Other trails lead along the coast and through old farming land. Under water, the Saba Marine Park protects the reefs around the island, and divers come for volcanic pinnacles, sea turtles, reef sharks and colourful coral. The village of Windwardside has small shops, cafés and guesthouses, and The Bottom is the quiet capital. Getting there is part of the adventure: small planes land on a famously short runway, and there are also ferries from Sint Maarten. The best time to visit is December to April for the driest weather, though diving is good all year.
