Secret Bay Earns #2 Spot in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards & Ranks Among Top 100 Hotels Worldwide
We’re deeply honoured to announce that Secret Bay has earned the #2 spot for resort hotels in the Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Bahamas in this year’s Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards, while also securing a coveted position among the top 100 hotels globally. Here’s why this recognition from Travel + Leisure‘s discerning readers reinforces our position as a leader in luxury hospitality.
A Resort That Transcends Expectations
Travel + Leisure readers were enthusiastic in their praise for Secret Bay’s six-star offerings. One reader described the experience as simply “a dream,” while another declared that “Secret Bay is in a league of its own.” Perhaps most tellingly, one visitor shared that “anyone who enters Secret Bay is wrapped in natural wonder and quickly forgets the outside world.”
The publication itself highlighted Secret Bay’s unique position in the luxury travel landscape, noting: “With just over two dozen nature-inspired villas and the ability to gracefully coexist with the surrounding jungle on Dominica’s northwest side, it’s no surprise that this masterclass in eco-luxury is a longtime favorite of T+L readers.”
A Legacy of Excellence
This latest recognition continues Secret Bay’s longstanding tradition of excellence with Travel + Leisure readers. Over the years, we’ve consistently ranked among the best in the Caribbean — including being named the #1 Resort in the Caribbean in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2020 — and earning a spot on the publication’s prestigious global “Top 100” list. We’ve also been featured among the world’s Top 500 Hotels by Travel + Leisure, establishing Secret Bay as a perennial favorite among discerning travelers.
The Secret Bay Difference
What sets Secret Bay apart is our commitment to creating an unparalleled experience that effortlessly harmonises luxury with nature. Located on Dominica’s pristine northwest coast, the resort offers exclusive privacy through just over two dozen nature-inspired villas, each designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding rainforest.
Our approach centers on hyper-personalised service that anticipates every guest’s needs, combined with our distinctive island-to-table dining featuring a no-menu concept with chef-driven epicurean experiences. We’ve also developed comprehensive wellness offerings that take advantage of Dominica’s natural healing environment, all while maintaining our commitment to eco-luxury that allows guests to experience nature without compromising comfort.
Recognition Among the World’s Best
This year’s Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards saw winners spanning 15 Caribbean islands, with Secret Bay standing out among an elite group of resorts that define Caribbean luxury. The recognition comes from the votes of Travel + Leisure‘s well-traveled readers, who consistently choose Secret Bay for its ability to deliver experiences that transcend typical resort stays.
As one reader perfectly captured, Secret Bay represents a place where guests can truly disconnect from the outside world while being enveloped in six-star luxury. This continued recognition from Travel + Leisure‘s World’s Best Awards reaffirms our position not just as a Caribbean destination, but as a global standard for what eco-luxury hospitality can and should be.
