4 Best Hotels in Saba

Background Illustration for Hotels

Variety is the key for Saba's 100 or so hotel rooms. Accomodations are primarily in a handful of friendly, tidy inns or guesthouses perched on ledges or tucked into tropical gardens. You'll also find a single luxury hotel, as well as one that is practically camping, but also everything in between, including rental apartments, villas, and cottages. Location isn't as much an issue in Saba as in some other destinations. There are no beachfront accommodations, and the island is so small you can get around from anywhere. Cable TV is common, but air-conditioning is rare; cool nights and overhead fans keep rooms pleasant.

This eclectic collection of cliffside accommodations, all featuring contemporary tropical decor, has something for everyone—the basic rooms (some with kitchenettes) are popular with hikers and divers on a budget, the charming Saban cottages with fully-equipped kitchens appeal to small families, and the spacious suites with private decks and hammocks are perfect for couples. There's also an artist's studio space offering workshops. For a small fee, you can rent a golf cart to get into town.

  • Swimming pool
  • Fun and funky bar
  • Full breakfast at Tropics Café included

The Cottage Club Hotel

$ | Windwardside, Saba

Colorful throw pillows, mahogany four-poster beds, and navy area rugs with playful maritime patterns contrast with white color schemes in these charming, gingerbread bungalows—each with a full kitchen or kitchenette as well as a bird's-eye view of the ocean below and neighboring islands in the distance.

If you're a diver, look into the special diving packages that include perks like free room service and continental breakfast.
