Dominica, the Nature Island

An island unlike any other in the Caribbean

Dominica is on track to be the world’s first climate-resilient nation, and sustainability is woven into every aspect of Secret Bay. From 60% of the land preserved in rainforest and national parks to Secret Bay’s Green Globe certification, permaculture gardens and zero single-use plastics, ownership here means alignment with one of the most sustainable luxury resorts on earth.

As stated by Secret Bay.

Dominica is mountainous and covered in rainforest, with very little large-scale development. Beyond Secret Bay there are rivers and waterfalls to swim in, hot springs, the Boiling Lake hike in the national park, reefs and dive sites, and sperm whales offshore, most often seen from November to April. The Kalinago Territory on the east coast is home to the island's Indigenous community.
