STAY
Occupying a treecarpeted promontory in Dominica’s north-west corner, Secret Bay (3) couldn’t be more idyllic. Raised wooden verandas and private dipping pools give the villas a treehouselike feel and mellow mood, while the Caribbean Sea is a skip away. Guests are encouraged to do as much or as little as they wish – it’s a terrific jumping-off point for island escapades of all kinds.
