Where to stay for certified sustainable in Dominica
The 4 best certified sustainable stays in Dominica all hold genuine Green Globe certification, run largely off grid and sit on the wild side of the Nature Island, from black sand turtle nesting beaches to deep rainforest valleys. From Rosalie on the wild east coast, home to Rosalie Bay Eco Resort and the off grid Three Rivers and Rosalie Forest Eco Lodge, to the rainforest cliffside near Portsmouth where Secret Bay looks out over the sea, these stays are top rated for proper third party certified sustainability rather than green branding. They are the rare resorts that earned the badge on a leatherback beach or in the heart of the forest.
How we choose the best certified sustainable stays in Dominica
Rosalie Bay’s own amenities page describes micro hydro electricity from the Rosalie River and solar panels. Its beach is a turtle nesting area with strong rip currents; use the resort pool for swimming.
Rosalie Bay Eco Resort & Spa earns its Green Globe certification honestly and protects the nesting beach it was built beside, so the wild coast in Dominica stays good for the leatherback and green turtles that return to it and for the guests who come after you.
We look for that same instinct in the island’s other audited and off grid stays, like Secret Bay near Portsmouth, Dominica’s only other Green certified property and locally owned by Dominica born founder Gregor Nassief, and Three Rivers & Rosalie Forest Eco Lodge, Dominica’s original eco lodge running off grid in the Rosalie rainforest valley. Because Secret Bay is in local Dominican hands and Three Rivers & Rosalie Forest Eco Lodge keeps the forest valley wild for the generations who live there, protecting the rainforest is protecting their own future, and yours.
