Dominica
Why Dominica?
Dominica: Ranked as the number one Caribbean Island by TripAdvisor. Dominica is also featured among the most ethical destinations worldwide by Ethical Traveler, Dominica offers more than its surrounding islands yet remains unspoiled by the impacts of mass tourism. Embraced by lush foliage and secluded beaches throughout, the island fosters one’s most dream-like fascinations. With world-class diving, whale watching, and boundless wildlife amongst the Caribbean’s longest hiking trail and only Natural World Heritage site. Whether you chose the best diving resort, Fort Hotel, or the number one rated honeymoon resort in the Caribbean, Secret Bay, Dominica has something for everyone.
Dominica realizes adventurous living amidst untrammeled natural splendor. Meander the island’s thermal spas, 365 rivers, dramatic waterfalls, well-preserved colonial architecture. And the last remaining home of the indigenous Carib peoples.
Fort Young Hotel
Fort Young Hotel, built to protect the island, Fort Young Hotel has always commanded a position like no other. Located in Roseau, Dominica’s capital, and only “downtown,” it sits in the main marina with the ferry port and market just a minute’s walk from its entrance.
Fort Young Hotel is ideal exposure to Dominica’s vibrant culture and delicious cuisine. From your room’s balcony, the sights and sounds of the capital vanish, replaced by the gentle lapping of waves and endless expanse of the sea and sky.
Activities: For scuba diving families, there is a fully equipped PADI shop, Dive Dominica at the Fort Young Hotel. Whether you are diving, snorkeling, or heading off into the bay to go whale watching Dive Dominica is there to serve all your marine desires.
Hikers can arrange a wide variety of excursions in close proximity to the hotel such as treks to waterfalls in the rainforest and bird watching trips from Fort Young Hotel’s own activities desk.
If you are looking for some traditional Caribbean relaxation, there’s always Fort Young’s rooftop Jacuzzis, infinity pool, gymnasium, and spa. Family Dive Adventures make it easy for you to combine the best of both worlds: explore Dominica’s colorful underwater world during fascinating dives, while also experiencing the natural and cultural wonders of the island with Fort Young’s land excursions. Other activities available are Yoga, gym, Zemi spa, kayaking, canyoning, turtle watching, and of course, Whale Watching!
