Dominica Vacations
The lush Caribbean island of Dominica, bounded by Guadeloupe to the north and Martinique to the south, offers a feast for the senses. Offering a fusion of delicious Creole and British flavors, bubbling natural hot springs, lush tropical rainforests, colorful architecture and palm-fringed shores, Dominica leaves first-time vacationers wondering why they never visited before.
Perhaps it is because the “Nature Isle of the Caribbean” is one of the lesser-known unspoiled regions remaining on earth. Dominica offers spectacular natural surroundings, boutique hotels, impressive waterfalls and volcanoes, colorful coral reefs, stunning black- and white-sand beaches, and fewer visitors than many of its neighboring islands.
