About Jungle Bay
Jungle Bay Resort and Spa was
built and is operated in alignment with international sustainable tourism
guidelines. As an alternative to
traditional Caribbean tourism, the focus is on enjoyable nature-based
activities and wellness of guests with quality service, guided by the
principles as set by The International Ecotourism Society (TIES): TIES
defines ecotourism as "responsible travel to natural areas that
conserves the environment and improves the well-being of local people." (TIES
2003)
The Mission of Jungle Bay Resort is to enhance the natural environment
and improve the livelihood of surrounding communities so that the region
is improved in a sustainable way, while providing quality, comfortable
nature-based experiences for our guests.
Jungle Bay is an outstanding example of ecologically and culturally
sustainable tourism. The owners have been pioneers in Dominica's efforts
towards environmental sustainability. They have also been instrumental
in developing programs to help the residents of Dominica, such as founding
the House of
Hope, an organization to help indigent children with disabilities
on Dominica. Read

responsibility.

Accommodations
Jungle Bay features thirty-five tastefully furnished tropical hardwood
cottages elevated on wooden posts, nestled beneath the undisturbed jungle
of Dominica. 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 the night of
a full moon.
Please note: Some cottages are located up 200 steps from the main path--a
moderate level of fitness is recommended. Cottage Features:
- Choice
of 1 king-size bed OR 2 double beds (in the same room)
- Rustic yet
elegant locally sourced and built furnishings
- A comfortable sitting
area
- Gourmet coffee and tea making facilities
- Mini - refrigerator
