About Saba
Saba rises majestically almost 3000ft from the north east Caribbean Sea. The smallest island of the current Netherlands Antilles, Saba is unique amongst it's neighboring islands, having no franchise restaurants, bars, hotels or casinos, it seems almost untouched by the outside world. Just a 12 minute airplane ride with Winair from the international hub of St. Maarten (Princess Juliana Airport) Saba has a wealth of nature both above and below the waterline. Where else in the world can you dive pristine reef formations in the morning and hike through an elfin like rainforest in the afternoon. Truly an awe inspiring place to visit and an amazing place to live!

Located at 17°38′N 63°14′W / 17.633°N 63.233°W It is the highest point of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

Saba has a land area of 13 km² (5 sq. miles). At the 2001 Netherlands Antilles census, the population was 1,349 inhabitants, which means a population density of 104 inhabitants per km².

Despite the island's Dutch affiliation, English is the principal language spoken on the island and has been used in its school system since the 19th century. The Netherlands Antillean Guilder (ANG) is the official currency, but the U.S. dollar is accepted everywhere on the island. Starting January 1st 2011, however, the U.S. dollar will take over as the official currency. Saba is home to the Saba University School of Medicine, which was established by American expatriates in coordination with the Netherlands government. The school adds over 300 residents when classes are in session, and it is the prime educational attraction. A.M. Edwards Medical Center is the major provider of healthcare for local residents.

However, according to Dutch State Secretary Bijleveld for Kingdom Relations, it is at this moment not legally possible for Saba to become independent from the Antilles.
