Saba, a small Caribbean island, feels like a world apart, offering a unique escape from typical resort-filled destinations.
While nearby islands like Anguilla and Antigua attract crowds with their bustling beaches, Saba remains a lesser-known treasure. At just five square miles, this Dutch Caribbean island is one of the tiniest inhabited islands, with 2,000 residents spread across four villages. Despite its proximity to popular spots, Saba offers a travel experience unlike any other in the region.
Breaking Caribbean Stereotypes
Saba defies every Caribbean island cliché. Instead of the usual sun-and-sand retreats, it delivers something refreshingly different.
“There’s no place like Saba in the Caribbean,” says Malinda Hassell, director of the Saba Tourist Bureau. Unlike the cookie-cutter beaches of neighboring islands, Saba has no sprawling sandy shores. Instead, visitors find rocky coves and a tiny man-made stretch of sand used for occasional beach barbecues.
This absence of conventional beaches makes Saba stand out as a destination where nature and authenticity take center stage.
An Unspoiled Haven
Far from the crowded resorts and overdeveloped coastlines, Saba remains a haven of untouched beauty and tranquility.
Its compact size and off-the-beaten-path vibe offer travelers a chance to experience the Caribbean differently. Whether exploring its lush terrain or engaging with the close-knit community, visitors discover a side of the region rarely seen.
For those seeking a unique Caribbean getaway, Saba provides an unspoiled paradise like no other.
