The Secret Bay boutique hotel in Dominica has added two new villas, the property announced Tuesday.

The two villas are both “Zabuco” models, in the same style as the hotel’s original Zabuco villa. Each has 2,500 square feet, with its own private pool. They will be approximately 80 feet higher above sea level than the original Zabuco villa.

“The creation and sustenance of Secret Bay has always been a love story, so it’s no surprise that our most popular villa has always been Zabuco,” said Gregor Nassief, owner and founder of Secret Bay, in a statement.  “Further, with 85 percent of our visitors being couples seeking romance and many of them celebrating a honeymoon or anniversary, the debut of these two new Zabuco villas enables us to provide the ultimate secluded escape for couples to even more guests.”

The new villas bring the total number of units to six at Secret Bay, which is located in the northwestern corner of Dominica near Portsmouth.

The hotel said it would begin accepting bookings on Sept. 21.
