Saba
Saba (pronounced SAY-buh) is a wonderful Caribbean island, but it's definitely not for tourists seeking the typical Caribbean beach vacation. This tiny island - just a little larger than a dormant volcano - looks uninhabited, and it almost is.
The 1,200 people of Saba population greet each other only by the first name, and they'll tell you that their island is so small you'll even know the names of all the dogs before you leave. Sabans are hardy, creative and friendly. We highly recommend that you spend some time talking to them to gain an appreciation of their way of life.
Beach lovers may want to think twice, though: Sandy shores are almost nonexistent on this steep, rocky island. But when it comes to scuba diving and snorkeling, Saba can hold its own and then some. Beneath Saban waters, steep mountains ascend from the abyss to within 80 ft/24 m of the surface, making the diving extraordinary. In fact, Saba is rated among the best places in the Caribbean for diving. Underwater walls and pinnacles are covered with coral, sea fans and sponges. There are tunnels, overhangs and caves to explore, too.
Aside from diving, walking and low-key shopping, there's not a lot to do on Saba, but it's a nice place to do nothing. In general, plan on taking it easy when you visit.
 The Ecolodge Rendez-Vous is not just
a hotel: it’s a lifestyle as well as a philosophy.
We believe that contact with nature is essenti-al
to relieve stress, to rejuvenate and to reco-ver
a sense of self. The Ecolodge wants to do
just that.
