Dominica
A nature lover’s paradise, green is the colour of Dominica, from its mountainous jungles to its tropical mangrove forests.
Known as the Caribbean’s “Nature Island”, a luxury Dominica holiday is all about adventure, whether you’re hiking its vast jungles or uncovering hidden waterfalls. Dominica offers a different side to the Caribbean; here, you won’t find long stretches of sandy beaches, but secluded, rugged coves, its reefs offering brilliant opportunities for snorkelling and scuba diving.
Situated between Guadeloupe and Martinique, Dominica is known for its eco-adventures, with the spectacular Waitukubuli National Trail and Morne Trois Pitons National Park - a UNESCO World Heritage Site - ideal for those looking to go hiking. You can also discover a wealth of unique birdlife in its jungles, unwind in hot springs, or go kayaking on one of the island’s many rivers. With a vibrant Creole culture, derived from African and European influences, Dominica is also known for its indigenous population of pre-Columbian Carib Indians, who still retain their strong cultural identity.
Whilst off the beaten track, luxury can be found in Dominica; stay at the exclusive Secret Bay on your luxury Dominica holiday, an eco-conscious boutique hotel with private pool villas that are ideal for honeymooners. Go island hopping in the Caribbean and combine Dominica with St. Lucia or Barbados, both offering direct flights to Roseau.

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Morne Trois Pitons National Park was the first national park in Dominica, and is one of the country's most beautiful natural areas. Home to five volcanoes, three freshwater lakes, the famous 'Boiling Lake', and a wealth of hot springs, the national park provides ample opportunities for hiking, where you'll discover hidden waterfalls and can swim in natural pools.
Located in Morne Trois Pitons National Park, Dominica's Boiling Lake is one of the island's most popular attractions. A flooded fumarole, the lake is characterised by its bubbling water that is constantly surrounded by a cloud of vapour, and is accessed by hiking through the national park.
One of the best reefs in the Caribbean, Champagne Reef is known for its bubbling thermal springs and excellent visibility. Drawing snorkellers and scuba divers across the world, you'll have the opportunity to spot a variety of colourful sea sponges, as well as octopuses, parrotfish, hawksbill turtles, seahorses, and batfish.
Dominica's most famous natural pool, Emerald Pool is surrounded by tropical rainforest, and features a beautiful 40-ft waterfall. Situated in Morne Trois Pitons National Park, Emerald Pool can be discovered on a dedicated hiking trail; take a swim in the refreshing water of the pool and cool off from the humid Caribbean heat.
