Secret Bay Named to Travel + Leisure’s T+L 500: The World’s Favorite Hotels and Resorts
We’re honored to share that Secret Bay has been named to this year’s T+L 500, Travel + Leisure’s annual list of the 500 most beloved hotels and resorts in the world, as chosen by readers in its World’s Best Awards survey.
This distinction is a direct result of our ranking as the #1 Resort Hotel in the Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Bahamas in Travel + Leisure’s 2024 World’s Best Awards—our fourth time earning the region’s top spot in five years. The T+L 500 list highlights the highest-rated hotels around the globe, based on where discerning travelers most want to return.
To be recognized among the world’s top hotels is a meaningful reflection of what Secret Bay strives to offer: the luxury of time and space, personalized service, a deep connection to nature, and moments of discovery that stay with you long after you leave.
As Travel + Leisure contributor Joni Sweet shared in her feature review, Secret Bay “redefines paradise,” with its “treehouse villas, private pools, and a rainforest funicular,” all seamlessly integrated into the untouched jungle of Dominica’s northwest coast.
Her experience echoes what so many of our guests say: that Secret Bay feels like a secret worth keeping—designed not only to impress but also to restore.
This recognition also reinforces the growing appeal of Dominica, the “Nature Island” of the Caribbean. Known for its mountains, waterfalls, and biodiversity, Dominica is increasingly drawing travelers in search of authenticity, privacy, and a true sense of place.
We’re deeply grateful to our exceptional team, whose thoughtful care brings Secret Bay to life daily, and our guests, whose continued support and stories have helped us shape something truly special.
Don’t forget to pick up the May 2025 print issue of Travel + Leisure to see the full list and to spot Secret Bay among the world’s most extraordinary stays.
