Mark Johnson’s family has lived on Saba for centuries.
He speaks fondly of his island...
Saba is a safe ecological/natural
haven, a retreat from the rigors
of everyday life.
The simplicity factor! The
island epitomizes the art of
sophistication.
Sundays on Saba truly feels like
the Sundays of years ago - a
definite respite.
Mark Johnson
“Stunning, dramatic “take-your-
breath-away” landscape. Every
glance provides a pleasant
storybook island perspective.”
Saba Island Premier Properties
&
The Jewel Cottage Saba is a friendly and
WELCOMING island
community. There’s safety here
and the freedom to be yourself.
There is a secret, idyllic, storybook, Caribbean
nature-island, where all of the buildings are
uniformly covered by signature red roofs. Preservation and Conservation
is paramount, ABOVE and
BELOW water. The Saba Marine
Park protects the National
Marine Park. Established in
1980, it is one of the longest
existing conservation parks in
the Caribbean.
Imagine an endless sapphire sea, caressing a
rugged coastline on this island that few people
have heard of . . . that island is Saba!
And on this island you will find Mark Johnson,
Saba Island Premier Properties
and The Jewel Cottage.
Development here is easier
than in most exotic locations.
Saba has a competent
and accommodating local
government that can
effectively balance the local
ecological and building
requirements with sensitive
development. it will never be
overdeveloped.

Saba’s Juancho E. Yrausquin
Airport is recorded as having
the shortest commercial
runway in the world.
