The entire island of Dominica is a spa. Let us start there. So while there are wellness attractions, accommodations and experiences to be had in Dominica, we had to include the island itself as its own wellness attraction. If nature heals, then the “nature-isle of the Caribbean” starts doing the job of rebalancing you, the moment you step off the plane and realize you are in a runway in a rainforest. While other islands boasts over 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, Dominica boasts the same number of rivers and waterfalls. If you find the sound of running water healing, the auditory therapy begins as you drive to your residence, across river after river, fringed by the lushed rainforest. The island is so wet and green, you feel like you too are being refreshed and fertilized. Natural hot springs, natural cold springs provide therapy just off the side of the road. Fruit trees bend over generously proffering you nourishment. Welcome to the island of wellness.
This truly was accommodation that is perfect as a home base for a wellness experience in the North East of Dominica. The location at Pointe Cassé is not only secluded and nestled at the base of Trois Piton but it puts you in the vicinity of several waterfalls, nature trails and the Kalinago Barana Aute experience.

However, you will have with you the calm, patient and very helpful Kalinago guide with you who will put safety first and challenge you to overcome your fears while sharing bushcraft and history. Walk the path carved by the Maroons (enslaved Africans who escaped the plantations) through the trail and connect with them.
