Secret Bay, a six-star luxury hotel in Dominica, has gained recognition as a premier destination nestled between the Caribbean Sea and lush rainforests. Offering nightly rates between $1,000 and $5,000, guests enjoy private plunge pools, pristine beaches, and natural thermal springs, complemented by personal concierge services. In addition to catering to tourists, Secret Bay presents an investment opportunity for individuals seeking citizenship through its residency and citizenship by investment (CBI) program. Starting at $1.4 million, buyers can purchase cliffside vacation homes while simultaneously obtaining citizenship in Dominica, a small nation known for its mountainous landscapes.
The CBI initiative allows investors to acquire second citizenship with a minimum investment of $200,000, providing a fast track to residency without the usual bureaucratic hurdles. Secret Bay has successfully integrated this program since 2019, offering whole villas and fractional ownership options, which grant investors between two to 10 weeks of stay per year. This approach not only enhances the hotel’s offerings but also contributes to its expansion, with plans to increase the number of villas from six to 28. As of early 2024, Secret Bay has attracted 188 investors, highlighting the appeal of luxury real estate combined with the benefits of global mobility.
