Saba / Special Interests

By Nigel Tisdall

Life on Saba is slow, quiet and as rich as you want it to be. Wonderful natural scenery, uplifting sea views and a friendly atmosphere ensures individual interests can be pursued at leisure.

Beach

Love beaches? Then you're on the wrong island. Saba has none worthy of the name – but there are plenty of fine swathes of sand just a short flight or 80-minute ferry ride away on nearby St Martin/St Maarten.

Cricket

The culture and landscape of Saba is not conducive to the sport of cricket.

Cruise

Saba is not a cruising destination, although it is visited at times by smaller ships such as those operated by SeaDream Yacht Club, Grand Mariner and Yachts of Seabourn.

Golf

There are no golf courses on Saba. The nearest is the rather run-don Mullet Bay Golf Course on St Maarten, or for top class facilities head to the Greg Norman-designed Temenos Golf Club on Anguilla.

For more detailed information and recommendations for individual areas of interest please select a Special Interest category below or from the menu bar.
