“We underwent an intricate rebuilding process,” said Saba Rock’s general manager, Alain Prion. “All finishings were hand selected – it was nothing less than a labor of love. We’re proud to have been recognized by such a renowned travel publication for the elevated atmosphere and service we provide. Guests are welcomed to experience the new Saba Rock – our own slice of paradise.”
Tucked away in the British Virgin Islands’ North Sound neighborhood, Saba Rock sits above calm Caribbean waters surrounded by distant mountain peaks and valleys of the neighboring islands.

Guests seeking relaxation find Saba Rock’s spa treatment room to be their escape while in paradise. With an oceanfront view and therapies incorporating the aromas and ingredients from the islands, guests leave refreshed.
