Dominica Offers Ultimate Access to Caribbean Luxury with Secret Bay Resort’s New Fractional Program

Thursday, October 31, 2024

Secret Bay Resort, Dominica’s renowned all-villa rainforest retreat, has unveiled a groundbreaking fractional ownership program, offering a unique opportunity to own a share of this six-star sanctuary. Known for its exceptional service, eco-conscious design, and membership in Relais & Châteaux, Secret Bay now extends an exclusive chance for discerning buyers to become part of its limited luxury residence collection. This new program complements Secret Bay’s whole-ownership sales, its Citizenship by Investment program, and the coveted Gemstones Residence Club.

Through the fractional ownership program, buyers can secure a real ownership share in the resort’s Clifftop Zabuco and Ti-Fèy Multi-Villa Estates, valued at $4.5 million each. These estates, among the Caribbean’s architectural gems, feature two distinctive villas: the iconic Zabuco Villa, a spacious 3,338-square-foot retreat that captures the essence of the surrounding rainforest, and the two-story Ti-Fèy Villa, offering 1.5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 1,686 square feet of indoor-outdoor living space. Ownership allows for two weeks of stay—one week in each villa—ideal for a tranquil couple’s escape or a memorable family gathering amid lush natural surroundings.

With options ranging from two to ten weeks per year, fractional ownership begins at $216,000 and goes up to $1 million, free from annual fees. Owners enjoy not only luxurious residence stays but also membership in the ThirdHome travel club and the potential to qualify for Dominican citizenship. Perched over 200 feet above sea level, Secret Bay’s residences deliver breathtaking views and a harmonious fusion of luxury and nature—making this ownership opportunity a unique investment in a pristine Caribbean destination.

“We’re excited to introduce this innovative real estate offering at Secret Bay,” said Marvlyn James, Director of Sales and Marketing at The Residences at Secret Bay. “Further making this fractional offering unrivaled is the growing demand for second citizenship, particularly among those seeking safety, security, and a ‘Plan B.’  Having recently been voted the #1 Resort in the Caribbean by Travel + Leisure and being situated on the unspoiled ‘Nature Island’ of the Caribbean, this is truly a one of a kind ownership and investment opportunity.”

The new Multi-Villa Estates fractional ownership program at Secret Bay builds on the resort’s impressive real estate achievements. Four years after the debut of whole ownership sales and three years after setting a record with Dominica’s most expensive vacation home sale at $7.1 million, Secret Bay expands its offering, maintaining its unique model with no annual or owner fees for fractional owners. Through a well-designed system, the resort reserves weeks for villa rentals, shares rental income with owners quarterly after expenses, and provides varying positive returns on investment. This program also aligns with Secret Bay’s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) offering, which allows individuals or families to obtain Dominican citizenship through government-approved contributions.

Secret Bay’s fractional ownership program offers a streamlined approach to owning a Caribbean vacation home while enjoying the resort’s luxurious amenities, from the treetop Gommier Spa and the Bwa Mang Wellness Pavilion to the riverside Zing Zing Restaurant. With access to Secret Bay’s property rental program, property management, and resale support, owners can relax and enjoy exclusive services, including three pristine beaches, a saltwater infinity pool, an art gallery, and the longest hillside funicular in the Caribbean. Membership in ThirdHome’s luxury home-sharing community and eligibility for Dominican citizenship through the CBI program further enhance the appeal.

Dominica, known as the “Nature Island of the Caribbean,” offers unparalleled natural beauty and eco-friendly living. With 365 rivers, volcanic landscapes, waterfalls, and the world’s second-largest boiling lake, the island is a paradise for those seeking adventure and nature’s tranquility. Visitors can experience unique activities like whale swimming, world-class diving, and canyoning. Recently named “Favorite Island in the Caribbean, Bermuda, and the Bahamas” by Travel + Leisure for 2024, Dominica is a must-visit for eco-conscious travelers.

Fractional ownership at Secret Bay starts at $216,000 for two weeks, extending to $1 million for ten weeks. Full ownership opportunities begin at $1.39 million for villas and $4.5 million for the Multi-Villa Estates, allowing buyers to own a piece of this spectacular Caribbean haven.
