Dominica

Just a ferry ride away from Martinique (or by easy Seaborne flight out of San Juan), Dominica is known as the Caribbean’s Nature Island. And that’s for a reason — it’s perhaps the most naturally beautiful island in the Caribbean, filled with volcanoes, incredible hiking and miles and miles and miles of pure green. From the vast, untouched Kalinago Territory to spectacular diving, this was an easy inclusion on our Where to Travel list. For hyper-luxe, try the boutique Secret Bay, the very green Rosalie Bay Resort for a remote, relaxed getaway or the Fort Young hotel for a look at the classic city of Roseau.
