If you’re itching to travel but realized during the past year that you didn’t miss the crowds at the beach and the crush at the bar, the Caribbean island of Saba might just be for you.
And while you’re there, you can hike up to the highest point in the Netherlands.
Saba, a five-square mile volcanic island, is the smallest of the islands in the Dutch Caribbean where the U.S. dollar is the currency and where English is the principal language.
But what makes Saba something quite extraordinary is the range of terrains and climates packed into that space. Twenty-six percent of the island is a national park and its waters are home to an extensive marine park.

SABA: - Residents of Saba are invited to a town hall meeting on Thursday, April 15 to attend a presentation by volcanologist Elske de Zeeuw-Van Dalfsen of the Royal Netherlands Institute for Meteorology (KNMI) on Saba’s Mt. Scenery volcano. She will also answer questions from the public.
The Executive Council of the Public Entity Saba decided early this week to organize a town hall meeting where people can be informed about the status of the Mt. Scenery volcano and the volcanoes on neighboring islands. The subject has become very timely with the volcanic eruptions of the La Soufrière in St. Vincent, more than 500 kilometers away from Saba.
