Tropical Gems of The Eastern Caribbean

A true hidden gem. The waterfall flows into these clear, blue-green pools, and the whole area is surrounded by jungle. The water is refreshing but not too cold—perfect for a dip. The walk to get here isn’t long, but it’s a bit tricky with some rocks and tree roots to navigate. Once you arrive, though, it’s breathtaking.

The mall offers numerous parking spots and houses a large grocery store, making it convenient for both locals and tourists. There are also several fast-food outlets and restaurants to choose from.

What I love about Anse Michel is how peaceful it is—no big resorts, no noisy crowds, just nature at its best. The white sand is super soft, and there are plenty of trees if you want some shade. Just a heads-up: if you come on a windy day, it can feel a bit stronger than other beaches, but that’s what makes it fun for sports!

The short hike to these falls is manageable, even for casual walkers. It can be a bit slippery, so proper footwear is advisable. The area is less crowded than other tourist spots, a hidden gem worth exploring.

The beach's black volcanic sand and clear blue waters create a stunning contrast that's perfect for photography. The beach is lined with local bars and restaurants, providing a taste of Dominican cuisine and culture. You can also rent sun loungers and umbrellas if you want to just relax.

A hidden gem worth the effort. If you love adventure, you’ll love Batibou. It’s a bit tricky to get to—a bumpy road and a short hike—but once you arrive, it’s pure magic. The beach is stunning, with palm trees lining the shore and barely any people around. There’s usually a small shack selling drinks and snacks, but it’s best to bring your own just in case.

This restored Creole house offers a glimpse into the island's colonial past, combining history, art, and rum culture. You can start with a leisurely walk through the lush botanical gardens and admire the impressive sculptures. You can spend hours exploring the estate and end your visit with a delightful rum tasting session.

Worth the hype. The combination of warm bubbling water and incredible marine life makes this place unforgettable. The reef is alive with color, and the bubbles make it feel surreal.

Not your average waterfall. This isn’t a place you just walk up to. The climb down is intense, and the access to the beach and the bottom of the waterfall is only for the prepared. But you can have access to the upper part, which is beautiful and worth it.

A hidden paradise in the jungle. his is the kind of place that makes you feel like you’ve found a secret only locals know about. The hike isn’t too long, but it can be slippery after rain, so take your time. Once you get there, it’s absolutely worth it.

A true eco-paradise. If you love nature but also want comfort, this is the place to stay in Dominica. The resort is built with sustainability in mind—everything feels connected to the environment.

A paradise for nature lovers. Every turn leads to something new—hidden pools, giant ferns, and breathtaking views. The Emerald Pool is perfect for a swim, and the Trafalgar Falls are incredible.

I loved this place! The tour is short but amazing. They have over 20 rums and liqueurs, and you get to pour your own. The staff are great, cracking jokes while explaining how it’s all made. Super fun and relaxed.

The best beach in Martinique? Many people say so, and I get why! The water is warm, the sand is super soft, and the whole place feels untouched. There are no big resorts, just nature and a few local vendors selling food and drinks.
