Our Recent Stay: Secret Bay


Jennifer Jacob was invited to Dominica and to stay at Secret Bay and had the best time. From the beautiful property to the ‘fire’ activities, there was no shortage of a bad time on this trip! This destination made her feel like she was experiencing an Anthony Bourdain style of travel, and for that she is forever grateful. Keep reading to learn more about Secret Bay’s property and see what Jennifer absolutely loved about her experience.

WHY WE WENT:

Jennifer was invited to stay at the property in order to learn more about Dominica and be able to better educate our clients on the area. Secret Bay is a SIX-star all-villa rainforest resort experience that she absolutely did not want to miss out on. This resort was voted the #1 hotel in the Caribbean by Travel + Leisure’s 2020 World’s Best Awards.

 

WHAT WE LOVED:

Both at Secret Bay and beyond, you will find a collection of perspective-shifting, life-altering experiences. Whether you choose to journey “within” alongside their trained healers, explore the living, breathing rainforest or rappel into the depths of the island on a waterfall canyoning adventure, you are sure to leave Dominica forever changed. Dominica is often not the first Caribbean destination that our clients turn to, but after leaving, we want to change that.

 

WHAT WE ATE:

The dining experiences here are nothing to sleep on, and you are offered the chance to indulge in the fresh flavors in Dominica at the Zing Zing Restaurant. If you prefer to dine in-villa, don’t fret, these incredible meals are also served straight to you if you’d like. A few other options are to arrange a private chef to cook in-villa for you, arrange a private dining experience on the beach or on a deck with a beautiful view. Jennfer had the pleasure of dining in-villa with the staff and formed friendships and memories that will last a lifetime.

 

HOW WE SLEPT:

Each of Secret Bays stunning villas are composed of high design and local craftmanship, offering you an incredibly luxurious open-air stay. All of the villas are surrounded by lush vegetation and are inclusive of a private plunge pool, contemporary kitchen, covered terrace, and stunning ocean views. Jennifer loved the tranquility and luxury of the villa. Below you can see her in her own private plunge pool (far left, top row).
