| Overview | [ Top ] | [ Bottom ] |
 | Nestled high up on a green, caribbean mountain the place to "free your mind " awaits. Nature lovers who enjoy priceless amenities like tropical flowers, palm trees, hammocks overlooking a deep blue sea and warm hospitality will find El Momo to be the perfect retreat. |  | A set of stairs leads to six small wooden cottages each surrounded by tropical gardens. The airy „one-room-Cottages" are built of warm wood, decorated with original artwork, offer amazing ocean views from their terraces and provide a private atmosphere. Handmade wooden furniture and individual colorful fabrics add a touch of Caribbean happiness. Mosquitos are very rare, so you can sit on the terrace enjoying sunset without any repellent. No safes or keys are necessary, because crime simply does not exist. |  | El Momo is small, individual, earth-kind, quiet, very charming and a little "Robinson Crusoe like" with plenty of unspoiled nature. A little piece of paradise where time moves slow and attention is paid to details. Experience the busy hummingbirds as they fly from flower to flower, the little black dotted Saban lizard puffing its yellow chest, or the whistling tree frogs in the star-filled night. Sleeping well is easy as the altitude climate cools down at night. In addition to the breathtaking sea views enjoy fantastic ocean sunsets from October to March. The wooden swimming pool deck is built around African Tulip Trees which provide natural shade for the cozy lounge area. An eco-friendly philosophy complements the beautiful natural environment and keeps tourists footsteps small. The hotel is a tranquil heaven where a maximum of 14 guests rest and enjoy nature at its best. |  | El Momo also produces its own Banana Rum and Vanilla Rum Liquors which you can sample and purchase on severeal locations on the island. Many guests "fall in love" with these mild rum liquors and take bottles home. One day they probably will return for a Saban delicatesse on the unspoiled queen itself because on island the flavour is even a little better than at home...
Saba is an amazing paradise for natur lovers, divers, hikers, artists and people who just like a safe place to unwind. No pressure and far away from the mad rush of the "normal world". Saba’s pitouresque houses are mostly original historic architecture and the people are really friendly. Saba has not much night life, no big resorts, no casinos, no big cruise ships, no sandy beaches (that's why no mass tourism), no fast food chaines, but spectacular unique marine life and amazing rain forest. This island is a rough and steep beauty. You will feel like sitting in a time machine and driving back many years. The high altitude climate is very pleasant and cools down at night. During winter season the night temperature is as low as 68F/20C degrees. |
