New Luxury Resorts on Dominica’s Quiet Renaissance

It’s the underdog of the Caribbean who’s stealing the show.

Middleham Falls has miles of trails in the secluded rainforest, as well as the second-largest boiling lake in the world, and its year-round resident deep divers, the sperm whales. Can a guy get mollycoddled amid Middleham Falls? Definitely.

Hurricane Maria has brought renewed interest to this sparsely populated Elysium in the Caribbean. Dominica has long been the underdog of the Caribbean, often confused with the nearby island of Grenada.

Dominica, a French territory tucked in between Guadeloupe and Martinique, takes great care to preserve its hot springs, cliffs, and waterfalls.‍

Kempinski Hotels, Europe’s oldest luxury hotel chain, will open the five-star Cabrits Resort & Spa Kempinski in October. It offers 151 rooms with a nature-inspired design in Dominica’s Cabrits National Park, but the resort’s nearby black- and white-sand beaches, bubbling mud baths, and snorkeling at Toucari Bay are likely to draw you in.

Located on the Caribbean Sea shoreline, Anichi Resort & Spa will provide indoor-outdoor living in 2020. This hotel is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, which is partly funded by Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment Program, which grants financial investors citizenship in exchange for their investment. You might have a hard time relinquishing your private dip pool to travel over to the property, which is situated by the Portsmouth Yacht Association within the upscale Purple Turtle Beach harbor. The Sanctuary Rainforest Eco Resort and Spa will be built on a 10-acre plot in Roseau Valley, tucked into the lush, verdant rainforest. Development has just been announced.‍

A notable feature of the resort is Secret Bay, a collection of six sustainable luxury villas that reopened after Hurricane Maria last November. As of this summer, the property has announced sales for 42 private residences with an eco-friendly slant, blending tropical and modern designs. In June, Jungle Bay reopened its second property, an eco-villa enclave.

Before the masses discover the Nature Isle of the Caribbean, book that private whale and dolphin safari.
