I really don't know much about Statia, but there is very little tourism there. I might suggest Saba instead. The hiking and diving are pretty comparable and there is a bit more tourist infrastructure there.

Hi Zanzibar, I would second Zanshin as Statia is an unusual but is an interesting place to go. I visited in July, can tell you definitely not a party destination.Though the island comes alive for the annual Carnival celebration in July and early August, that is a major highlight.Other highlights would be a quaint harbor town, dormant volcano and a lush rainforest and many dive sites.You can check everything about Statia on the below website https://www.st-eustatius.com/ Also, not a culinary destination like nearby St. Barths, it has couple of restaurants.Fine dining is generally limited to hotels like the Kings Well and the Old Gin House, but don't miss the Ocean View Terrace, located in the courtyard of the Government Guest House overlooking Fort Oranje. Mostly the restaurants have a very casual vibe. Recommendations: The Smoke Alley Bar and Grill is an open-air beach bar and restaurant; the Blue Bead Bar and Restaurant in Lower Town Oranjestad is renowned for its Italian and French cuisine. Hope this helps.
