If you're looking for a franchised resort, casinos, shopping malls and direct flights from every major city, Saba is not for you. Instead click here for the CHA website to locate one of those Caribbean islands. Instead, if you're looking for a unique experience on an island where 50 tourists is a busy week, hiking and relaxing are considered things to do and there's world class diving, read on!
Don't
take our word Although the little island of Saba is considered a remote, exotic destination it is by no means "third world". Saba is old fashioned but not impoverished or considered a risk destination. Saba, an exotic alternative within your reach Saba proudly declares itself "The Unspoiled Queen" referring to her unspoiled nature and inhabitants. The best way to describe this unique island with only 1400 people is to list our "have nots". Saba has no crime, no high rises, no traffic or traffic lights, no pesty insects, no crowds, no fast food restaurants, no casinos, no cruise ships. Oh, and we almost forgot, no beaches. Instead Saba's guests enjoy a choice of small, family-run hotels and private cottages within quaint villages among friendly locals. Diving is conducted under the auspices of the Saba Marine Park, a model park recognized for its success in protecting the marine environment. A six-man hyperbaric facility is located at our Fort Bay Harbor only 10-15 minutes from most dive sites. Topside Saba is protected by the Saba Conservation Foundation with only a small percentage of the island 'developed' for residential and commercial needs. Ten to fifteen restaurants offer an array of cuisine from outdoor barbeques to fine dining, all at reasonable prices. Saba even has two ATMs, decent cell phone coverage, its own ISP, and even a "high speed" internet cafe. Considering Saba for a family trip? Our new webpage "Are Your Kids Ready to Dive?" addresses the issues of kids learning to dive but also a broader question of things for kids to do while you're diving...
