This Luxury Hotel Has the Caribbean’s Longest Funicular 

By: Caribbean Journal Staff - January 9, 2024

It’s long been one of the Caribbean’s premier luxury resorts: Secret Bay, the sought-after boutique villa hotel in the north of Dominica. 

But now Secret Bay has another major new addition: the longest funicular in the Caribbean. 

The new funicular, at 300 feet long, lets guests “revel in the sights and sounds of the rainforest,” while also moving seamlessly between three new area of the resort: the Hillside, the Clifftop and the Summit. 

The carriage, which can carry six people at a time, takes guests anywhere from the sands of Secret Beach to the heart of the coastal jungle.
