Enjoy Secret Bay

Rediscover your childlike enthusiasm for exploring and living each moment that the day brings. There is so much to discover at Secret Bay: swim through our magical cave, wade up our enchanting river, or bask on one of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in Dominica: Secret Beach.

Our small development has been magnificently designed in harmony with the environment. Take in the breathtaking views from the clifftops or let yourself be enchanted by the magical forest that surrounds you. There are many restful spots across the site allowing you to lie back, relax and take in the view – including the fabulous "Wild Orchid Garden" right on the cliff-edge perched above the sea.

For a real energy boost, why not check out our Soul and Senses' Couples Package, which offers treats such as massages, yoga classes as well as a fascinating nature walk.

With a host of activities to choose from take it easy or explore – the choice is yours.


Take a dip in the sea

Or a sea-bath as we call it in the Caribbean. Refresh your body and soul with the warm embrace of beautiful waters. Secret Bay has access to two beaches: Tibay Beach and the soft-sand Secret Beach - both offer calm waters and excellent swimming.

Swim through a cave

Discover the excitement of darkness becoming light, as you emerge from underwater into a magical grotto filled with ethereal light and the rhythmic slapping of water against rock. We are happy to accompany you the first time!

Wade up a river

The enchanting Cario River winds its way through a forest of mangroves to the sea at Tibay Beach. The Ancient Bwa Mang trees dip their roots into the cooling river waters dappled in sunlight and beckon you to take a bathe.

Explore by kayak

Head north and less than 10 minutes away is the pristine white-sand beach of picturesque Prince Rupert Bay. Further on and you reach the amazing Indian River. Head south to other lovely empty beaches and rivers. Alternatively, just enjoy being out at sea by yourselves, under a warm sun, soaking up the dramatic Dominican landscape. We have top of the range kayaks at your disposal as well as a stand-up paddle board that allow you to be at one with the clear waters around you.

Wander around

With an abundance of plants, flowers and trees growing here (including all the fruit trees native to Dominica), Secret Bay is your own private Botanical gardens. Discover the remains of the old road from Portsmouth to Roseau now overgrown with rainforest. Stop and listen to the birds overhead – there are over 20 species at Secret Bay – or perhaps take the time to watch the tropical butterflies, insects and reptiles (none of them are dangerous – yes Dominica really is paradise!).
