Overview

Jungle Bay Resort & Spa rises from a seaside cliff overlooking the Atlantic Ocean on the southeast coast of Dominica in the Eastern Caribbean. Bordering the resort is the UNESCO World Heritage Site, Morne Trois Pitons which is home to the second largest boiling lake in the world (also Dominica’s signature hiking trail). Jungle Bay Resort comprises 35 rustic elegant cottages suspended on wooden posts amidst jungle fauna, each with a private outdoor shower and with the ever-present sound of ocean surf. Guests of this award winning ecoresort begin each day with a morning yoga class or simply enjoying the sunrise and sound of birds the rainforest. Daily adventure tours to waterfalls and other sites in and around the World Heritage Site are a highlight of the resort’s package and tours include transportation in open-air safari vehicles. Eco adventurers finish each day at the spa being pampered with all-natural body treatments in semi-open studios. Dining is in an ocean side setting with adventurous local cuisine and features organically grown produce with Caribbean spice. Jungle Bay was named as being among The Independent's top 5 jungle lodges in the world!

Location

Caribbean : Dominica


Dominica is located mid-way down the chain of Caribbean islands known as the Lesser Antilles, between the French islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique.

Dining

Dining at Jungle Bay is truly a unique experience. Our Jungle Pavilion restaurant comes complete with tropical forest motif including a royal palm tree protruding through its roof. This open air octagonal structure overlooks our stone pool and the Ocean. The atmosphere is a perfect complement to our 'fun and healthy living' atmosphere. Our gourmet cuisine features mostly Vegetarian, Seafood, Chicken dishes prepared and served with a distinct Caribbean flavor.

Facilities

A visit to Jungle Bay is not complete without a treatment at the resort's signature spa overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and relaxing you to the sound of the surf. Jungle Bay Yoga Center is home to our two indoor yoga studios which are 2400 square feet and 1000 square feet respectively. The open-air studios have finished wooden floors and dramatic views of the ocean. Our volcanic stone finished swimming pool is surrounded by wide wooden decks. Frolic in the waters or relax on our cushioned classical lounge chairs while sipping your favorite drink from the nearby Pavilion Restaurant. The Calabash poolside bar is open seasonally.

Activities

Jungle Bay Resort & Spa offers plenty of on-site activities and facilities, many of which are included in the signature Jungle Spa Adventure Package. The property is located on 55 acres of lush tropical Jungle ready to be explored. Our world-class Spa du Soleil is perched high on the cliff top with spectacular panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Our rocky beach is a lovely place to explore or relax onshore. Due to the size of the waves here, we do not recommend swimming. For a cool refreshing dip, take a short stroll off property to the nearby White River. The whitish mineral waters here have reputed healing properties and are sourced all the way from the Boiling Lake.

The Wall Street Journal, January 06

Jungle Bay is the creation of 45-year-old Sam Raphael, a real-estate developer from the U.S. Virgin Islands who was born in Dominica. He bought the 55-acre site for $45,000. To build the resort, he went to nearby villages and hired dozens of underemployed farmers, who've been hit hard by the decline of the island's banana trade.

Rooms & Accommodation

Jungle Cottage - King Bed

Jungle Cottage - King Bed

Jungle Bay features thirty-five tastefully furnished tropical hardwood cottages elevated on wooden posts, nestled beneath the undisturbed jungle. Cottages are spacious and feature wood furnishings all "designed and built" at the resort. Cottages are perched like birds nests, tucked away on a hillside between Cedar, Gomier and Galba trees. A spring fed stream cascades along the valley below. Special care was taken to preserve the forest in its original form. Cottages are accessed through a series of footpaths and stone staircases. The low impact night lighting along with the sound of the Atlantic surf creates a romantic, surreal ambiance - especially around full moon.

About our Trusted Partner

Jungle Bay is the brainchild of Dominican born property developer & sustainable development activist Samuel "Sam" Raphael. Sam grew up on St. Croix in the US Virgin Islands then pursued higher education in International Studies at The American University of Washington DC. In 1984 he returned to St. Croix where he began a successful career in construction and real estate development that has culminated in the development of Jungle Bay, one of the Caribbean's most exciting resorts.
According to Sam, the concept for Jungle Bay came about during his fifth grade field trip to Cinnamon Bay Campground in St. John, US Virgin Islands, in 1972. At the time Sam was living on his childhood home of St. Croix where his family had migrated to from Dominica in 1968. The environmental awareness of this class trip had such an impact on 11 year old Sam that he adopted the concept of conservation and environmental preservation as his life's philosophy. Almost thirty years later, in the height of a successful career as a real estate developer "with a difference" Sam, accompanied by Glenda (this power couple actually got married barefoot on a rock on the nearby White River) left their comfortable life of close friends, relatives and their golf villa on St. Croix and returned to one of the most remote parts of their island home to turn their dream into reality.
