Dominica

Dominica is back and still the Caribbean’s reigning Nature Island. While Tropical Storm Erika hit the island hard, it hasn’t shaken the visitor experience much (save for some slightly longer drives) and that means you can still get your fill of waterfalls, hot springs, snorkeling and hiking.

For a more affordable way to explore the island, try the historic Fort Young hotel, set in the capital, Roseau.
