Those looking for the typical Caribbean tourist experience - drinking, gambling, beaches - will want to stick to next-door neighbour St Maarten. But for a remote escape known for eco-tourism, including hikes, climbs and spectacular dives, Saba delivers. The smallest island (5 square miles) in the Netherlands Antilles, Saba is primarily a dormant volcano covered in rainforest. A single road (aptly named "The Road") takes visitors to quaint villages, where you can purchase the traditional Saba lace.
