Jungle Bay

Jungle Bay

Dominica

An eco-friendly retreat with adventure at its heart, situated on Dominica’s southwest coast.

Tropical forest cocoons the stone and wood villas at Jungle Bay, creating a peaceful base for exploring the whole island. Sat on a hillside above a small fishing village, the luxe resort looks out to a curve of the Caribbean Sea on one side and thickly vegetated peaks on the other. Garden paths wind through the grounds, leading you to an organic-focused restaurant, yoga studios, a spa, and two swimming pools.

Adventure doesn’t lie far beyond — you’ll find internationally celebrated scuba-diving sites, rainforest hiking trails, and volcanic landscapes close by. The resort has a team of guides on hand to help you make the most of your stay, connecting you to the island’s culture, history, and ecology — all of which Jungle Bay works to protect through responsible development and community projects.

OUR OPINION:

From herbal tea experiences to open-air yoga classes and coconut-infused spa treatments, we love how wellness and nature go hand in hand at Jungle Bay. You can spend hours exploring the island’s wilds, knowing that you’ll be pampered on your return.

Rooms

Jungle Bay has both Villa Rooms and Villa Suites dotted among its hillside gardens, with suites offering double the space of rooms. You’ll have a private bathroom, as well as a balcony or patio, no matter which you opt for, and you can choose between garden or ocean views. With bamboo furnishings, high wooden ceilings, and hand-painted bedding that depicts island motifs, the villas are designed to invite nature in.

Location

Overlooking a UNESCO-listed marine sanctuary on Dominica’s southwest coast, Jungle Bay sprawls across a hillside above the village of Soufriere. Coral-ringed beaches, hiking trails, and scenic landmarks are a short drive away, as is the country’s capital, Roseau, while Douglas-Charles Airport is two hours by car (we’ll arrange a private driver for you). The island’s so compact that you can easily take in its many other highlights, like Boiling Lake, during your stay, too.

All staff and guides are trained in responsible travel, and the Jungle Bay Community Fund supports education and healthcare initiatives in the local area.
