El Momo Cottages

Saba


A near-vertical flight of 69 stone steps leads from the road to reception for these small, rustic cottages with outdoor bathroom; some with kitchenette. Tucked into a rugged hillside smothered in tropical foliage, they have breathtaking views, especially from the aptly named 'Cottage in the Sky.' There's an honesty bar and breakfast (US$8.50) but no restaurant. Wi-fi can be patchy.

Huge iguanas scuttle about the property. It's a 600m walk from Windwardside along one of the island's steepest roads; a taxi costs US$6.
