Best Caribbean Island
By Linda Tancs
It might not have the name recognition of neighboring St. Maarten, but the Dutch Caribbean island of Saba won the distinction of Best Caribbean Island this year, thanks to Travel + Leisure magazine. So how does a small (five square miles) and remote island land such a distinction? Maybe it’s the lava tunnels, hot springs and vibrant marine life accessible to divers only by boat. Or perhaps it’s the unspoiled beauty of the rain forest, tidepools and historic ruins beckoning trekkers. Whatever the reason, your first challenge is getting there. Squeamish flyers might want to avoid Winair’s death-defying landings at the 1300-feet-long runway. Take the ferry instead from St. Maarten.
