Dominica’s leading boutique hotel, Secret Bay, is expanding, Caribbean Journal has learned.

The Portsmouth-area luxury eco-retreat is adding four new, two-story villas to its portfolio, the company confirmed this week.

That brings the resort’s total villa count to 10.

Each of the “Ti-Fey” villas has a private plunge pool, a cantilevered outdoor rain shower and floor-to-ceiling glass walls, among other amenities.

All of the villas will be available for reservations beginning in November, according to the property.

Dominica is currently open for tourism; for more on the island’s entry protocols see here.

Secret Bay reopened its doors in August.
