Hillside Ti-Fèy Villa, Dominica, Caribbean Vacation Rental

Built to mirror the same stunning architectural elements as our original Ti-Fèy Villa, the Hillside Ti-Fèy Villas feature a two-story design with a private plunge pool, an outdoor rain shower cantilevered off the second floor, an under-deck hammock fit for two adults or kids, floor-to-ceiling glass walls, gourmet kitchens and every modern amenity one could desire. Featuring 1,356 square feet of seamless indoor-outdoor living space, including one bedroom, a cozy, queen pull-out sofa and two bathrooms, these villas offer the idyllic retreat for families or couples.

LOCATION

Gracefully tucked along the island’s lush hillsides, Secret Bay’s new Hillside Ti-Fèy Villas offer spectacular jungle-to-ocean views that extend to the Nature Island’s tallest mountain, Morne Diablotin. Situated in the densest area of Dominica’s rainforest, these villas provide an other-worldly experience entirely immersed in nature and luxury.

SERVICES

Secret Bay’s concierge will create personalised itineraries for your stay with us – everything from active and extreme adventure to peaceful relaxation. Your dedicated villa host will be on call and will provide discreet service, allowing you to experience the perfect balance of romance, privacy and pampering

DINING:

Part of the luxury of staying at Secret Bay is the fresh, sustainable cuisine you’ll encounter during your stay, satisfying the mind and body in one dream holiday. Whether you choose to dine in-villa or at our open-air restaurant, each meal is ethically prepared by our executive chef who reimagines fresh, vibrant ingredients that are foraged right here on property or sourced from nearby fishers and farmers markets. Tables are arranged six feet apart. It is this innovative, hyperlocal culinary concept that allows for a more intimate and traceable connection between guests and land, earning Secret Bay its reputation as a leader in sustainable food tourism.

If dining in-villa, the guest’s personal villa host can serve meals, or they may schedule a cooking class with the executive chef. We believe food is our greatest source of health and vitality and, thus, our culinary journey is largely based on wholesome eating. Our fresh, clean, local and sustainable meals are as nutrient rich as they are delicious, and our Executive Chef has a unique focus on superfoods. Healthy juices and smoothies are offered in addition to daily immune-boosting shots, native herbal teas, local bush remedies and even superfood-fortified cocktails.

SPA:

The resort’s Gommier Spa is a three-walled treetop retreat enveloped in nature overlooking the sea that was designed exclusively to pamper individual guests or couples. As such, there are no shared spaces with other guests. With wellness and self-care being paramount, treatments are designed to relax the mind and soothe the soul. Spa experiences and yoga are also available on guests’ expansive private decks.

NATURE ISLAND EXPLORATION:

Dominica has an exceptionally verdant and diverse ecosystem, just begging to be explored. It is from this ecosystem that residents and travellers receive constant exposure to beneficial minerals, good bacteria and the fundamentally important free electrons that cover the Earth’s surface — not to mention pure drinking water and a nutrient-rich local diet. Dominica’s small population and low density allow us to effectively manage guests’ off-site adventures, allowing total freedom and wonderment while exploring the island.

All guest experiences are conducted through private tours specially designed to minimize outside contact. One driver, who also serves as a tour guide, is assigned throughout each guest’s stay and excursions are arranged by the concierge. Guests have the option of taking along packaged meals during excursions but may also dine off property at pre-approved locations, all verified by our Team.

COVID & SANITATION PROTOCOLS:

Dominica is rated as one of the top fifteen COVID-19 recovering countries in the world. With no evidence of community spread, the island has effectively managed a 100% recovery rate and implemented broad social distancing, testing, monitoring and treatment protocols proven to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus.

All travellers to Dominica must submit a negative PCR test result for COVID-19 recorded within 24-72hrs prior to arrival, along with an online health questionnaire at least 24hrs prior to arrival in Dominica. On arrival, travellers will undergo a health assessment to include a temperature check and a rapid test screening prior to standard immigration and customs processing. On-island, visitors are required to stay at a certified ‘Safe in Nature’ property and are free to explore by land and sea on approved ‘Safe in Nature’ experiences.

Guests arrive to thoroughly cleaned and disinfected villas including linens that have been transported in sealed bags, drapery sanitized using a fabric steamer, and electronics disinfected with 70% alcohol-based solution. After guest departure, the villa is misted with electrostatic spray for maximum cleaning/sanitizing in addition to standard cleaning practices. Also, touchless hand sanitizer dispensers are placed at multiple locations on the property. The resort makes use of WHO-approved cleaning and sanitizing procedures. All sanitizing chemicals and cleaning agents are environmentally friendly and are supplied by our partner Ecolab International.

GREEN & CLEAN PRACTICES:

We are a Green Globe Certified property with a deep commitment to sustainability. In addition to having built the resort to be in harmony with nature, staff employ ‘green’ standard operating procedures and sanitization practices, which protect guests and staff as well as our precious island. All cleaning is executed with the use of EPA approved eco-friendly products from Ecolab International while wearing branded washable face masks and biodegradable gloves. Hand sanitizer is produced on-site and dispensed from sanitized glass containers.

Our Zero Waste policy includes recycling, reusing, active composting of food waste and the use of eco-friendly cutlery, crockery and glassware are all common practice. The property includes organic backyard gardens at each villa as well as an organic farm which caters to the fresh food needs of the Zing Zing Restaurant and kitchen. Each villa includes a Culligan Water Filtration System, which guests may drink from branded takeaway borosilicate water bottles as a means of enforcing its zero-tolerance policy for single-use plastic.

GETTING HERE:

Daily scheduled flights connect to Dominica’s Douglas Charles Airport (DOM) from neighboring islands like Barbados, St Maarten and Puerto Rico. Legacy carriers like American Airlines, Delta, jetBlue and British Airways, operate codeshare agreements with our regional airlines, allowing purchase of a single itinerary and baggage check through to Dominica.

Dominica, not the Dominican Republic, is the largest of the Windward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean. Dubbed “The Nature Island,” this independent, English-speaking country has a landscape with much to be explored, including the Caribbean’s longest hiking trail, the world’s second-largest boiling lake and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The island is also recognized amongst the top 10 dive destination in the world. Beyond the sun, sand and sea of a typical Caribbean holiday, Dominica visitors are integrated within an authentic cultural experience, where friendly local interaction—whether browsing the farmer’s markets, hiking or dining off resort grounds—is common. Because the island is off the beaten path, it is sought after for the enlightening and transformative experiences it imparts.
