Portsmouth, Dominica Dominica is known better for its rainforests and its waterfalls than its beaches; but this northern town has been the center of the island’s tourism renaissance, thanks, first, to the debut of the world-renowned Secret Bay luxury resort and, more recently, the debut of the Eastern Caribbean’s first Kempinski hotel. Journey here and you’ll find a peaceful, laid-back beach town with some wonderful local eateries (we love the Purple Turtle Beach Club and Infinity, among others) and a must-visit attraction: the island’s Cabrits National Park. A must: stay at Secret Bay, one of the great resorts anywhere in the world, one that is also quintessentially, magnificently, Dominican.
