Where to stay for farm to table in Dominica

The 3 best farm to table stays in Dominica are rooted in the land they sit on, one built on a former aloe vera plantation, another locally owned and run by a Dominica born founder, all using locally sourced and quarried materials. From the slopes above Soufrière Bay to the rainforest cliffsides near Portsmouth, these stays are top rated for putting Dominica’s own soil and produce at the heart of the stay, where the place you sleep and the food you eat share the same ground.

How we choose the best farm to table stays in Dominica

What earns a place on this list is how these Dominica farm to table stays protect the soil and back the local growers who feed them, like Coulibri Ridge, a fully off grid ridge top resort raised on a former aloe vera plantation near Soufrière, which grows on the land it sits on and builds from the recycled and locally quarried stone around it. Because Dominica is the Nature Isle, and a stay that draws its food and its walls from the island only earns the name farm to table if it gives back to that same soil rather than depleting it.

Coulibri Ridge runs off grid on its own ridge top and raises its buildings from recycled and locally quarried stone, so the farm to table promise in Dominica stays honest for the volcanic land and aloe vera plantation it grew from and for the guests who come after you.

We look for that same instinct elsewhere on the island, like Jungle Bay, whose stilted villas spread across 20 acres above Soufrière Bay are every one built from locally sourced materials, and Secret Bay, locally owned and rooted in the rainforest cliffside near Portsmouth and founded by Dominica born Gregor Nassief. Because Jungle Bay hires from the villages it stands above and Secret Bay keeps its ownership and its growers Dominican, protecting that land is protecting their own future, and yours.
