villas bordering Douglas Bay, complemented by four pools, a luxurious spa and kids’ club. Also worth considering is Pagua Bay House, only 10 minutes from the airport, with six oceanfront cabanas and a restaurant in an industrial-chic style. Forthcoming developments include the return in February 2020 of Rosalie Bay Resort, a 28-room eco-hotel set beside a beach renowned for turtle watching. Fort Young Hotel, which sits on
the waterfront in Roseau, is in the final phase of a restoration that will see it offer 100 four-star rooms by October 2020.
HOW TO SELL IT Most travellers fly into Antigua then continue to Dominica with local airline Liat (40 minutes), a journey also possible via Barbados. Twin- centre holidays are an attractive sell, pairing beach time on a more familiar island with an active
holiday on Dominica. The island will also appeal to Caribbean regulars who want somewhere new, while its eco-credentials – most apparent at Secret Bay and Jungle Bay – will chime with others. Although some attractions, such as Emerald Pool, get mobbed by cruise ship visitors, Dominica never feels crowded or sold out to the tourist dollar. Between January and May this year, the island welcomed 154,286 cruise passengers, but only 2,222 land- based visitors from the UK. February to April gets the least
rainfall and is also a good time for whale-watching, while major events include Carnival (February 24-25, 2020), Dive Fest in July and the World Creole Music Festival in late October. For details of Dominica’s online travel training, information about packages, diving and getting around, go to
