Since its debut in 2011, Dominica’s Secret Bay has been one of the Caribbean’s bucket-list hotels: a stunning, cliffside eco-luxe retreat comprised of jaw-dropping villas.
And now you can actually live there.
The boutique Secret Bay has embarked on a major expansion that will mean a new real estate component called the Residences at Secret Bay.
The portfolio will include 42 five-star villas set across 33 clifftop acres in the north of Dominica.
Several of the villas have already completed at Secret Bay, which made its triumphant return from Hurricane Maria in December.
Each villa, ranging from “Hillside Villas” to “Clifftop Villa Estates,” will be set within its own secluded enclave, featuring the dramatic designs that made Secret Bay famous.
And yes, that includes everything from indoor-outdoor designs, hammocks and daybeds, outdoor showers, gourmet chef’s kitchens and private plunge pools.
Layouts range from between 1,356 and 5,182 square feet of indoor and outdoor space to lots from 3,557 to 32,290 square feet.
“The Residences are ideal for couples, families and investors seeking a Caribbean coastal eco-retreat every season of the year,” developers said in a statement.
The property will also be part of Dominica’s Citizenship by Investment program, meaning purchasers who buy even fractional ownership shares will meet the minimum threshold for obtaining Dominican citizenship.
“We will see one of the best, if not the best, resort in the Western Hemisphere here in Dominica,” Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said following the agreement to include the project in the CBI Program.
The new development only adds to what it is a burgeoning luxury pipeline on the island, from the soon-to-debut Kempinski by Range Developments to the reborn Jungle Bay.

St Maarten’s Divi Little Bay Beach Resort has completed a series of upgrade projects.
The new additions range from the new “pureocean” poolscape and bar to the completion of propertywide renovations in the wake of Hurricane Irma.
The new pool complex has multiple pools that spill into one another, all with an ocean view, including waterfalls, a central fire pit and a large hot tub, among other amenities.
“Our new pool area is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. It’s truly a spectacular spot to soak up the sun and enjoy the terrific turquoise sea in the background,” said Anne-Marie, Divi Little Bay Beach Resort’s General Manager. “Plus, in the evening, the pools illuminate in a magnificent display of color, making it the perfect place to relax day or night.”
Divi Little Bay has also debuted two new eateries: “pureroc,” featuring proteins and vegetables cooked on a steaming hot lava rock; and The Shack, a “grab-and-go” eatery.
St Maarten’s Divi Little Bay first reopened over the summer.
