Escape the heat, indulge in health and wellness
If you’re craving a healthy, refreshing getaway that’s close to home, look no further than Saba – the unspoiled gem of the Caribbean that’s just a quick ferry ride or a short Winair flight from St. Maarten. Our neighbouring island may be small in size, but it is actually a massive mountain, offering a big dose of wellness, adventure, and natural beauty.
Saba is a hiker’s paradise, boasting lush trails that wind through rainforests, refreshing cloud misting over the volcanic peaks. The island’s cooler temperatures make it the perfect escape from the tropical heat, allowing you to explore comfortably while surrounded by fresh mountain air, hikes with stone step-ways and plush greenery. Every step rewards you with sweeping ocean views, dramatic cliffs, and landscapes so cinematic they look straight out of an adventure movie.
One of the most popular hikes is up Mount Scenery – the highest point in the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The climb over a thousand stone steps is both a workout and a journey through nature’s splendour. Along the way, you’ll encounter exotic plants, colourful birds, and breath-taking vistas that make every drop of sweat worthwhile.
But Saba isn’t only about hiking. The island’s serene atmosphere, charming villages, and friendly locals make it a rejuvenating retreat for mind and body. Whether you’re unwinding at a cosy guesthouse, savouring fresh local cuisine, tasting some locally caught lobster, or taking in the panoramic views from a cliff-side café, you’ll find a sense of peace that’s hard to match.
So, if you haven’t made the trip yet, now’s the time. For those who love hiking, nature, and unforgettable views, Saba is an absolute must-do. It’s the perfect way to stay active, reconnect with nature, and return home feeling refreshed and inspired, all just a short trip away. Saba is where adventure meets wellness and local charm, and every step leads to breath-taking beauty.
