Tucked away in the Caribbean Sea, the five-square-mile island of Saba is arguably the region’s best-kept secret. Home to just four villages, a singular road that was dug out by a local with nothing but a shovel, pristine hiking trails, impeccable dive sites, breathtaking villas and locally-owned boutique hotels, the tiny but mighty island will take any well-traveled visitor by pleasant surprise. As the peak of a dormant volcano that pokes out from the ocean below, Saba appears to be just a speck on the map – but is packed with loads of unexpected character. The smallest commercial runway in the world? Check. A field of solar panels that powers the whole island for 8-10 hours per day? Check. A population of 2,000 family-like residents that welcome all visitors with open arms into their close-knit community? That’s Saba.
