Secret Bay, Dominica

Secret Bay

B Corp
Contact us

The wild and often ignored cousin of the Caribbean’s more popular resorts, Dominica is home to rugged coastlines, crashing waterfalls, vibrant coral reefs, fascinating nature trails and a proud people.

Secret Bay is a cliff-top retreat quite unlike anything else found in the Caribbean. This all-villa property sits amidst lush rainforest, with its immersive design fusing contemporary styles with local craftsmanship. Access to the inviting waters is via a secret beach, giving the resort its name.

Why Do We Like Secret Bay?

Treehouse-style villas sit on a clifftop with spectacular views out to the Caribbean Sea. Under the auspices of Relais & Chateaux, you can expect exceptional food and hospitality.

Facilities

With just 12 villas, Secret Bay offers a level of exclusivity rarely found in beach properties. Each of the villas is unique, built from sustainably sourced Guyanese hardwoods and red cedar. With spacious indoor and outdoor areas, most feature plunge pools, gourmet kitchens, free-standing tubs and pillow hammocks.

The rest of Secret Bay’s facilities are scattered through the jungle, with the intentional lack of a front desk meant to emphasise the personalised service that every guest receives. These options include the Mang Wellness Pavilion, the Zamann Watersports Hut, the treetop Gommier Spa, the open-air Zing Zing restaurant and the cliff-edge Vetiver Sunset Deck

Activities

With an in-house spa, wellness centre and watersports hut, there are plenty of options – ranging from leisurely to exhilarating – to choose from at Secret Bay. Use of kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, snorkelling and swimming gear is all included on a complimentary basis, whilst other watersports can be booked by the staff on site.
