If you love the Caribbean for its natural beauty and unique history, Saba is your ideal secluded haven. Rising steeply from the azure sea, this tiny island is a magical experience far away from the cares and worries of today's hurried world. Four quaint and charming villages reflect the gentle, friendly manner of the Saban people, descended from hardy 17th century pioneers. Saba is a monument to nature's best above and below the ocean's surface. The famous Saba Marine Park offers some of the best diving in the Caribbean, and numerous hiking trails lead into magical cloud forests with stands of tree ferns and palms. Flamboyant Cottage is a 10-minute walk from Windwardside, a charming village with shops, restaurants, dive shops, and the offices of the Saba Conservation Foundation, where you'll find maps, advice, and walking sticks to borrow.
