Secret Bay, an eco-luxury boutique resort in Dominica, is debuting two new villas this month.
The new guest accommodations, described as “magical tree house escape” are a feat of architecture– standing upon a single “stem” or primary support.
They’re set to debut this month.
At nearly 1,600 square feet, the villas feature one bed and one bath, two decks, an elevated pool directly accessible from the bedroom, an outdoor shower, a barbecue and a hammock sofa.
The villas are named “Ylang Ylang” because their exterior shape is inspired by the eponymously named flower, which originated in Indonesia, but can now be found growing around Dominica.
Best known for its aroma – the plant’s essential oils are extracted to make perfumes such as Chanel No. 5 – it is said to have a calming effect, reducing blood pressure and aiding in relaxation.
With the addition of these two new villas, Secret Bay now features a total of eight secluded and sustainable villas and bungalows.
