Architectural Digest Names Portsmouth, Dominica One of The Most Beautiful Cities in the World
In Architectural Digest’s list of The 20 Most Beautiful Cities in The World, Amelia Mularz highlights the most remote beaches of the Caribbean to the cultural capital of Japan focusing on architecture, culture and the beauty of the locale. Portsmouth, Dominica, home to Secret Bay made the list for its natural landscape, while also highlighting Secret Bay for its unique architecture with a focus on sustainability.
“Part of the beauty of this Caribbean island city is that it’s significantly less known than just about any other locale on this list. Portsmouth, the second largest town in Dominica, a.k.a. the Nature Island, may be new to many, but after glimpsing its jungle hiking trails, coastal wetlands lined with the sculptural roots of spectacular bwa mang trees, and unspoiled beaches that lead to coral reefs, it’ll be hard to forget. The city’s beauty also lies in its efforts to protect all that natural allure. The area’s major hotel, Secret Bay, is a shrine to sustainability, built from responsibly sourced wood, outfitted with locally crafted furniture, and dedicated to farm-to-table dining.”
