Secret Bay

Elegantly immersed within a clifftop rainforest on “The Nature Island” of the Caribbean is Secret Bay, among the leading boutique hotels in the world. Comprised of eight secluded and sustainably-built villas and bungalows, Secret Bay is the genuine embodiment of a luxurious hideaway, allowing guests to melt into the soul of the island; to dwell within a rudimentary habitat amid five-star amenities and access to unfathomable experiences.

Conceptualized by celebrated architect Fruto Vivas, Secret Bay’s body of residences is renowned for its artful fusion of high design and locally-sourced craftsmanship, forming open-air luxury residences enveloped in an Eden of lush vegetation. As an eco-luxury resort composed entirely of sustainably-sourced materials, Secret Bay exists in a beautiful equilibrium of responsibility to its environment and a commitment to guest comfort. A dedicated attendant tends to guests' needs in-villa, inclusive of intimate fine dining, spa services, and an adventure concierge. Five-star service is extensively personal, from mattress firmness to pre-stocked refrigerators, tailored to the desires, lifestyles, and preferences of each individual guest.

This secluded compound is just a 10-minute drive to the quaint town of Portsmouth and one hour from Dominica’s capital, Roseau. The beautiful expanse of Prince Rupert Bay, edged by one of the longest, often deserted, white-sand beaches on the island, is a 10-minute kayak ride away. Other nearby sites include the well-preserved Fort Shirley at the Cabrits National Park, the ever-enchanting Indian River, and the Northern Forest Reserve.

Dining~

Bwa Denn: Experience a creative and cultural immersion like no other at Secret Bay’s brand-new Bwa Denn. Embraced by the sights and sounds of the rainforest, the modern minimalist two-level structure features a casual gourmet restaurant on the ground floor for daily breakfast and all-day eats inspired by the island, a full-service bar, open-air terrace, art gallery, hip microbrewery, conference space, mini theater, and cutting-edge wine cellar. The rooftop lounge and dining space with extensive ocean vistas is home to our delectable tapas menu and signature “no menu” concept, an adults-only (16+ years) fine-dining experience at Secret Bay. Admire inspiring artworks either from the ground floor or the internally suspended view deck and sip on craft kombucha brewed directly on-site with local ingredients and — above all — revel in a refreshed Nature Island experience.

Botanica: Feast the senses with an outdoor chef table experience nestled into an organic garden by the Cario river. Guests may enjoy true garden-to-fork decadence with wholesome, plant-based entrees paired with fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, and aromatic spices sourced from the Chef’s organic garden. Botanica hosts 6-seat, farm- and sea-to-table cooking classes three times weekly, each featuring plant-based, pescatarian, and omnivore menus using traceable organic produce, fish, and meats foraged from the property or sourced from nearby farms.

In-Villa, Poolside, or Beach Dining: Whether you wish to dine in the comfort of your own villa or crave a full day with the entire family in the sun, your dedicated villa host will take care of all dining details — from setting the table and mixing cocktails to placing your order for a poolside lunch to paddling a packed picnic directly to you at Secret Beach. All-day eats are selected from our à la carte menus, featuring sea- and farm-to-table plates inspired by the island’s bounty. For breakfast in-villa, savor our Traditional Dominican Breakfast, nutrient-rich smoothie bowls, or sumptuous eggs-to-order prepared in-villa by your villa host.

Deck Dining: Reserve one of our quiet decks overlooking the Caribbean Sea for a private, firelit fine dining experience. The picturesque Sunset Deck offers sweeping views and cracking Caribbean sunsets on repeat, while Gwiyavyé Heights serves up an intimate al fresco dining experience suspended amongst the treetops of an organic guava grove, and our Beach Bonfire provides spectacular firelit fine dining with your toes in the sand.

Beaches~

Secret Beach: One of the Caribbean’s most secluded swimmable beaches, the Secret Beach evokes the feeling of being blissfully marooned on a remote island paradise. Its soft white sand and shallow turquoise waters, hugged in an intimate cove, are only accessible by sea. Revel in the romance of its private setting, adventure to its hidden sea cave, or explore the vibrant marine life just beyond the shore with our complimentary snorkel gear. Access Secret Beach via a quick kayak, paddle, or swim from Tibay Beach, or arrange for one of our private skiffs to take you to its shores.

Tibay Beach: The beauty of the rainforest meets the serenity of the sand and sea at Secret Bay’s Tibay Beach, a prized stretch of swimmable beach only accessible by Secret Bay or by water. Here, lounge shaded beneath almond trees alongside the quiet, gentle waves of the Caribbean Sea. This slice of paradise also beckons our guests for a quiet morning dip, a romantic stroll along its shores, or a sunset swim or paddle. Tibay Beach is also the launch point for kayaks and paddle boards, delivered upon request, and the convenient pick up point for adventures accessed by sea, including our Waitukubuli by Sea Tour and Indian River Tour.

Coconut Beach: Edging Prince Rupert Bay, the longest stretch of sandy beach in Dominica, Coconut Beach is a tropical seaside haven ideal for both relaxation and recreation. An abundance of water sports and activities can be found at Coconut Beach, including wakeboarding, tubing, scuba diving, snorkeling, and sailboat and jet ski rentals. Guests can reach Coconut Beach with a quick drive or by sea on a kayak, paddle board, or one of our private boats.
