Eco Destination Dominica Attracts Luxury Travelers

Eco Destination Dominica Attracts Luxury Travelers
While destinations such as Barbados and The Bahamas continue to be hugely popular, Dominica's unspoiled natural beauty is proving a hit with savvy travelers.

Known as ‘Nature's Island', Dominica's tropical rainforests, one of which is on the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites, cover two thirds of the island and are home to 1,200 plant species. With an abundance of rivers, lakes, streams, and waterfalls visitors are never far away from nature at its best.

Visitors can take a high-energy hike up to the famed boiling lake and see a host of remote waterfalls including Victoria Falls, or opt for a more leisurely journey to the Trafalgar Falls or the Emerald Pool. You can even experience the beauty of Dominica's verdant forests by taking a flora and fauna tour.

Not to be confused with its larger northerly sister, the Dominican Republic, Dominica sits midway between Guadeloupe and Martinique. At just 289 square miles, the majority of the island's population resides in and around the port area of Roseau.

It is the youngest island in the Lesser Antilles, still being formed by geothermal-volcanic activity, as evidenced by the world's second-largest hot spring, Boiling Lake. Dominica is the only country in the world with a count of 365 rivers.
With a rich history and breathtaking landscapes, Dominica is a truly unique destination that combines eco tourism and luxury travel to give visitors an experience of a lifetime.
