Dominica’s Secret Bay Reveals New Treehouse-Style Villa

By: - July 19th, 2018

By Alexander Britell

Dominica’s Secret Bay has long been one of the Caribbean’s most spectacular places to stay, from the private plunge pools to the treehouse bungalows.

And with the hotel set to reopen this November, it’s making some major changes, including a stunning new treehouse-style addition: the Ti-Fey Villa.

The new two-story abode at Secret Bay is perched high above the cliffside, made from Guyanese hardwood and boasting amenities like a private pool, an outdoor rainshower cantilevered off the second floor and a gourmet kitchen.

And then there are the views: the river below, the ocean, Dominica’s rainforest, all in panoramic splendor.

And it comes with all of the Secret Bay signatures: the concierge, the villa attendant for every need big or small — and now, a new Gommier Spa.

It all adds up to the kind of bucket-list experience for which the boutique Secret Bay has become famous.

Ti-Fey has already completed construction, and now it’s officially taking bookings for the luxe resort’s planned Nov. 1. reopening.

It’s the coolest new hotel room in the Caribbean.
