Planning a Caribbean Vacation?
Think about going to Saba.
Here’s why . . .
Saba, the “Unspoiled Queen of the Caribbean” is the smallest
of the Dutch Caribbean islands. Time stands still on this
beautiful island, where the pace of life allows you to forget
hectic city lives, stressful work commutes, busy restaurants
and crowded supermarkets.
Located in the north-eastern Caribbean just 28 miles
south-west of Dutch Sint. Maarten and French St. Martin,
its population of 1,900 friendly people will immediately
make you feel right at home, but the genuine warmth of
the people isn’t all there is to experience in Saba. There are
scenic hiking trails, lovely flora and fauna, and diving at the
Saba Marine Park. This park surrounds the entire island, and
will leave an indelible impression on divers, guaranteed to
result in return visits.
Accommodations are varied, from Dutch villas and boutique
hotels to rental cottages. And, for chow time, what’s your
pleasure? You can savor local food or international cuisine,
eat indoors or treat yourself to dinner by candlelight - dine
under the stars or by the seaside, on a mountaintop or a
patio. Choices abound.
So, when you’re thinking, “where to?” Think of Saba!
The Unspoiled Queen of the Caribbean awaits every
traveller.
