Luxury hotels and fine dining restaurants in Dominica

Travel to Dominica   

Known as the “Nature Island” because of its lush vegetation, Dominica is a little slice of paradise on earth, where you can escape to a remarkably well-preserved environment. Discovered in 1493 by Christopher Columbus, Dominica stands out from its Caribbean neighbours thanks to its distinctive topography, characterised by tropical forests, sparkling lakes, abundant hot springs and dozens of rivers that run right through the island and form splendid waterfalls, before flowing into the Caribbean Sea. While in Dominica, we suggest you venture into the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, where the jungle covers the slopes of Le Morne (1,365 m) and the crystal-clear waters of the Emerald Pool invite you to take a refreshing break. In the same park, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, don't miss Boiling Lake, a flooded fumarole whose bubbling waters, surrounded by mist, create a wildly beautiful landscape. Further up, the Northern Forest Reserve is home to Morne Diablotin, the highest peak in the Eastern Caribbean, rising to 1,447 m and majestically dominating the narrow strip of land that is the island - 47 km long and 26 km wide-. Not far from the charming town of Portsmouth, on a peninsula offering a vast panorama of the Caribbean Sea, Cabrits National Park preserves Fort Shirley, a large fortress once occupied by soldiers of the British army in the 18th century, amid a dense vegetation. The park is also surrounded by a magnificent coastline, protected by a coral reef that you can marvel at while snorkeling or scuba diving during your vacation in Dominica. A haven for hikers and naturalists, the island is also appreciated for its history, characterised by a strong French and, later, British influence. In the capital of Roseau, old fashioned houses blend with modern buildings to form a delightful town surrounded by an exuberant nature. Stroll around the old market square and wander along the elegant King George V Avenue before visiting the botanical gardens, where you can spot the emblematic Sisserou parrot that features on Dominica's national flag.
