The Safari Island Resort and Spa features a private beach, sand banks, and a small accessible reef.

The resort also has 30 beach bungalows, but it is still on the smaller side and only houses one restaurant, a coffee shop, and a bar.

The overwater bungalows here are smaller than most rooms in the Maldives, but they are still larger than typical hotel rooms elsewhere. Each room features a glass-bottom coffee table with direct views down into the lagoon below, plus steps down into the lagoon from the private sun deck. At launch the off season rates are among the most appealing in the Maldives, while the high season rates aren't quite as low.

WHAT THE REVIEWS SAY

This resort hosts a whole range of reviews, some good and some less than ideal. Positive reviews detail a great staff that are consistently friendly, views that impress and great food. Negative reviews touch on difficult Wi-Fi, semi clean rooms and lack of a manager on-site to help answer questions and take care of concerns. It is important to keep in mind though that this resort is newer and complaints may be from kinks that will work themselves out over time.

On arrival do not expect drums and fireworks, as the smiles, the refreshing towels and the drinks at the reception are more than enough. Anchored in the North Ari atoll and shaped like a curved Dhoni (Maldivian traditional boat), Safari Island is a magical place where water and sand lie in contrast to the exuberant green foliage. Even in the Maldives, an island so perfectly formed as Safari is rare. The resort is lush, with wide sandy beaches surrounding the emerald green and is home to one of the most colourful and lively house reef in the Maldives. The island is tiny and cozy, but beautiful, and you can easily walk around in a few minutes. You understand you are in Maldeves in every moment with beautiful sea and sand.

A thread of 15 Semi-Water Bungalows run on one tip of the island. The opposite end is a jetty leading to 39 Water Bungalows. The 30 Beach Bungalows are on the island part in exotic green vegetation including palm trees. All the 84 rooms come with sea view.

One side of the island is a clear lagoon and a corals on the other. Greenery has more of some bushes than palms and mangroves. Lagoon part faces the west and has more privacy but is full of dhonies and boats coming and going. Eastern part has more 'Maldivian look' with better beach but is crowded and bungalows have less privacy. There is a small swimming pool close to the restaurant. Also a small library at the reception.  DOWNLOAD RESORT MAP

There are two sides of the island with beach villas - the one where the jetty is and the east side. Its more quiet with sun in the morning up to around 3.30 pm. The jetty side is quite loud as all the small sea planes lands there, but you get sun most of a day and even beautifull sun set. The east side is very quite and I personally think, much much nicer. Every day at 5.30 on the jetty side you can see sharks feeding if you are bored.

As for the clientele, when we were staying there were people from China, Europeans, Americans, Russians, Thais and other Asians. All kind of tourists, families, friends, young and elder couples.

Ari Atoll is 89km in length and 30km in width and has 105 islands and is administratively divided into two parts: North Atoll Ari and South Ari Atoll. South Ari Atoll, a Protected Marine Area, remains one of the best places in the world to see whale sharks, which are spotted year-round on the outer reef, while North Ari Atoll is famous for its hammerhead sharks, although these are far more elusive and require deep diving to see. Most of the islands are home for the  luxury resorts while others are uninhabited, the rest are inhabited by local residents. The main occupations of Ari Atoll are fishing, sailing, harvesting and processing of corals.  READ MORE

The resort is situated on the beach of Mushimasgali Island in the Maldives. At Velana International Airport (Malé) you'll be met by hotel staff and helpe aboard seaplane. Air Taxi Maldivian will take you from Malé directly to the Safari Island in approximately 20 minutes.The scenic seaplane transfer offers an unforgettable bird’s eye view en route to this Island resort in Maldives.

Dream hideaway, intimate and magical setting; choose from one of the 30 Maldivian types of thatched, detached Beach Bungalows, 15 Semi-Water Bungalows and 39 Water Bungalows. All types of accommodation have direct sea view so that‘s super nice. Best rooms are the Semi-Water Bungalows as these have full privacy, are all South/Southwest (enjoy the sun all day) and are in front of the main entries/exits for the house reef snorkeling.

Room Facilities:

Beach Bungalows (45 sqm) Hot & cold fresh water, Bathtub with separate shower, Air condition, mini fridge, Satellite TV with flat Screen, Hair Dryer, Telephone, Tea/ Coffee making facilities, Wc, Luxury bamboo furniture, Sun Chair, Bathroom amenities ( Bathrobe, Shampoo, Conditioner and Shower gel) Wi-Fi available at cost.

Semi Water Bungalows and Water Bungalows (45sqm): In Addition to the Beach bungalow facilities, Glass bottom table, Backdoor to the private sundeck, direct access to lagoon and land.

Beach Bungalows on the Reef Side are our first recommendation: because you can easy get to house reef, on this side is also the restaurant and the bar, it is not so windy and the beach is also very-very nice. The other side, Lagoon Side, it is windy, good for sports for example, but there are also the Dhoni Boats to see and much more "action and sea waves". There are some Beach Bungalows on this lagoon side, with a thin strip of sand (rooms 110-112).  SEE ROOM № MAP

On the reef side, starting from the restaurant, Beach Bungalows 129 and 130 are very close to the reception, the next ones (120-128) have more beach in front of the villas. There is also the chance bigger that chinese people will "camp" for some hours in front of you, because they mostly book Water Villas.The others 120-113 have more vegetation - that means more privacy.

The Rooms inside are nice, wood mostly, sure they have "some years" but when you find something "damaged" remember, we go wet inside and bring a lot of sand and that is sure not good. Twice per day will be cleaned, so they are really clean, most of the time. The guests like the large window, or rather the entire frontal wall of glass and the sea can be seen directly from the bed. TV, tea, safe, canopy bed. The bathroom has two sinks, separate shower and bath. A covered veranda with two massive deck chairs and your own sun beds on the beach. Bungalows have direct access to the beach, sand is fine as powder, the entrance to the water is very safe.

Semi-Water Bungalows get the best of both beach and over water. Bungalow has an entrance from the shore, and the sun terrace is located above the water with direct access to the blue lagoon. Right opposite the bungalows a few meters away is the house reef teeming with a fish life. Living spaces bathed in warm natural light, perched atop the turquoise lagoon. A full sea-facing wall opens out to the spacious over-water terrace and the expansive lagoon beyond. Some people recommend numbers from 140 to 147 but they are far away from restaurant. If you are too lazy when you are hungry the closest ones like 133 are just perfect. Two great different feelings.

The Overwater Bungalows are smaller than most in the Maldives, but still larger than typical hotel rooms elsewhere. Each stylish residence features a glass-bottom coffee table with direct views down into the lagoon below, plus steps down into the lagoon from the private sun deck. With custom-made rattan furniture, wood floors, these rooms have a real 'wow' factor. Here you’ll also be able to choose between sunset or sunrise views. The furniture, the bathroom is renewed and all is clean. Water Bungalows have the privacy and the view is exactly the same as the photos. Cleaning is good. No complaints.

The Island is surrounded by white powdery, sandy beaches and crystal clear water lagoon and house reef which is attractive for snorkeling and diving with attractive diving spots.

Although you will find beautiful beaches all over the island - yes you can spot also a sandbags on Safari like everywhere else. You must have in mind, the resort try the best to save their island and the beaches for their guests. It is nature, not man's fault. Mostly sandbags protect the island on the northern tip close to Beach Villa 113 and 110-112.

The house reef is just minutes from the shore. Safari Island Resort is one of the few islands having house reef so close to the island. Despite the closeness to the reef, the opposite side of the island have no reef and just clear blue waters if anyone is interested. The lagoon is ideal for watersports.

Dining and Wining

The resort has one restaurant and three bars. Shaded with a magnificent white marquee, the Lagoon restaurant open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and serves food with buffet style, including lively Theme Nights. The restaurant and bars are also set over-water so you‘ll always have spectacular ocean views.

Table and a waiter for each room is reserved. Always ready and clean. Most of the time good meat and chicken are serve by generous portions. Food quality is overall very good, in terms of variety, quantity and most importantly quality. There is almost every evening something new to eat and tasty. Buffets are very rich with 6-7 different stations (Curries, Meat, Vegetables, Very Nice Salads, Pasta Experience Cook, Special Meet Cook, Top Deserts). The prices for Beers (4.50$) and Drinks (8$+) are fair. The special food also can prepare on request. The staff is very gentleman and helpfull. Snacks in the afternoon are limited to couple of types of sandwiches, there should be more alternatives, like salad. At for wine, is dissapointment as only one red, one white and one rose by glass. You should not miss the scheduled meals as there is no other alternatives.No room service. Room refrigerator needs to be filled by your selves.

Sunday night dinner is Maldivian/Asian night with a themed menu and Soups, breads and desserts are homemade and the fresh, tropical fruits are delicious. The buffet lines also include live action, cooking station which the chefs prepare your food as your preference. A Selected A La Carte Menu is available in the Restaurant which is chargeable. Restaurant opening hours: Breakfast: 07.30 - 10:00; Lunch: 12:30 - 14:00 (every Friday lunch at 13:15 - 14:30) Dinner: 19:30 - 21:00

Twice daily the restaurant throws fish scraps into the ocean, which lured in fantastic sea life: massive rays, eels, larger sharks than the usual swimming around everywhere, and more.

Palm is overwater bar set next to the main restaurant. Floating in the turquoise lagoon is the island bar where guests may enjoy drinks and spend leisure time. Open from morning until the last guest leaves, the bar also has a happy hours. The coffee shop at the main bar also serves a range of coffee, light snacks or special meals which can be enjoyed in the spacious environment, serenaded by the sound of the waves and the ocean breeze. Palm Bar will have a large bar counter, area with seating inside and outside deck, over the lagoon, facing Seaview. The bar has live musik once every 2 weeks on Monday and saturday diving movie by diving center team.

The sundown bar set on a wooden deck with a view of the stunning lagoon turns into a splendid a fair at sundown when nature paints a different scene every dusk. The golden sun sinks beneath the horizon casting a multitude of orange, red and pink hues across the sky and there is no place better to enjoy the show that at sundown bar, accompanied with a drink or two

Pool Bar serves drinks and snacks. All Inclusive guests can enjoy their entitled drinks here. The bar also hosts crab race on every Tuesday night.

Dream to see a whale shark? Some of the popular whale shark spots are not too far from Safari Islandt. Just ask your butler to go there and you can enjoy the cruise till your butler come back to help you wear snorkeling gears. Just jump off the vessel and swim with the whale sharks. Fulfill your dream and take many selfies for Instagram.

House Reef Snorkeling

Snorkeling in the Maldives is a must and Safari's house reef offers one of the best snorkeling experience in this part of the country. The waters surrounding the island teem with brightly coloured fish and other marine life. The snorkeling is exciting and provide lots to explore and interact with. An easily accessible, the house reef is 7-8 meters distance from the beach and ideal for snorkeling and diving with live corals and many different kinds of sea creatures.

We have done snork every day for hours. No need to take additional tour, island is surrounded by corals. We have seen sea turtle, swam with sharks. If you stay at the resort at least 5 nights, you also receive a free(!), private(!) boat trip out to sea for even more amazing snorkeling.

Superb snorkelling can be done straight from the shore – from the jetty or via the cut-through by the overwater restaurant – and it’s worth booking one of the snorkelling trips to nearby thilas for the chance to spot manta rays or whale sharks. It takes a little longer to reach the best dive sites, but it’s recommended if you don’t mind the journey.

Scuba diving in Ari Atoll is relaxing, adventurous, sometimes challenging, and always stunning. After North Male, Ari (also known as Alifu) is considered the most visited atoll in Maldives, and this contributes to a high degree to the quality of diving. With white sandy beaches and crystal clear waters, many divers rate Ari Atoll's sites to be the best in the country, and they also feature prominently on many Maldivian dive safari routes. Diving in Ari Atoll is not known for the brilliance of its corals. Rather, divers choose these waters for regular discovering pelagic species. Hammerhead sharks, mantas and other pelagics are more common around Ari Atoll, and even the mighty whale shark appears regularly, especially in marine reserves located in the southern part of the atoll.  READ MORE

Good setup for family

1 bedroom setup is great when traveling with 2 kids. Food at Fig is incredible and even better from the 5-6 happy hour. Great location.

Perfect stay

Huge dissappointment.

I chose this hotel because it had balconies with an ocean view, and because it was a Fairmont hotel. There was a large private party being held outside in the courtyard below our 8th floor room that kept us up until 2am on Saturday night. The same party started back up on Sunday and went until 10pm. We should have been placed in a quieter room that did not face the party area since we were not part of that group.

Beautiful space, great service

Staff were wonderful and the room and hotel grounds were so beautiful

The location and view from the room were nice, but the room was otherwise mediocre and elevator failures is inexplicable

Reviewed 2024-06-06

Stay was nice and enjoyed the atmosphere, the lifts however where slow and then broke down for most of our stay, which was ok to a point but the value of our stay we would expect not to share a lift with maintenance, old linen and left over food. Thanks

Great location until night time

1. We love the lounge area inside and outside. 2. Staff is AMAZING! 3. Elevators were down the entire time we were there.. we had to use the utility elevators… gross… 4. A/C was not great.. it was muggy in the room 5. The pounding of the music till 2am was NUTS! When we booked the room I said please do not put us near the bungalow… oh we were not near it we were on top of it…we couldn’t sleep for 3 nights.

Rip off - old hotel accommodations, excessive fees that other 4 star hotels don’t charge

Guest services were very nice but the rooms were so old and outdated. Felt more like an old marriot than a Fairmont. Room service for a burger and fries was $50. They charge a $50 fee on top of room rates and taxes that even includes it own set of $7 in taxes… zero value provided in exchange just a random huge fee for nothing. I stayed at another property the night before - lovely accommodations and half the price - try the Huntley instead!!

Reviewed 2024-06-02

Wish I could have stayed longer

This was our third time staying here but has been 5-6 years since our previous visit. The property hasn’t aged a bit with everything looking as good as new. Excellent staff throughout the hotel including those in food service and housekeeping. Can’t comment on the main restaurant because didn’t eat there but lobby bar and food were very good as well as outdoor service in garden/pool area.

Dreamy beach bungalows and overwater villas: Best places to stay in the Seychelles

R enowned for its pristine beaches, with powdery white sand lapped by clear turquoise waters, the Seychelles offers a blissful escape.

Situated 1,600 kilometres off the east coast of Africa, in the heart of the Indian Ocean, the archipelago comprises 115 islands packed with lush rainforests, nature reserves and marine parks teeming with biodiversity.

The scattered archipelago is divided into two main island groups: the Inner and Outer Islands.

The Inner Islands, including the main islands of Mahe, Praslin and La Digue, are granite-based and known for their lush vegetation, towering granite peaks and sandy beaches.

The Outer Islands, composed mainly of coral atolls and reef islands, offer a more secluded and untouched experience.

Beyond the beaches, there is plenty of culture and heritage here, with a captivating blend of African , Asian and European influences reflected in the cuisine and architecture.

Where to stay in the Seychelles

Accommodation-wise, the Seychelles offers plenty of choices, from ultra-luxe resorts and swish hotels to cosy, family-run guesthouses.

"We have some new properties coming online this year," says Sylvestre Radegonde, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Tourism. "It freshens up our offerings on the island."

Radegonde adds that the Seychelles has established a hotel grading programme as of this year.

"Up to now, hotels have been giving themselves their own grades, you know, a five-star facade and so on. But now we have a proper grading system."

Several new properties have opened this year on the sun-kissed archipelago, including the Waldorf Astoria. Radegonde adds that a new Hilton, Cheval Blanc and Avani will open in 2024.

With new and luxurious properties opening this year, now is the time to visit the Seychelles for a pampering tropical beach break.

Here's our pick of some of the best places to stay in the Seychelles to help you plan your dream trip.

This private island also features restaurants, a spa, a public outdoor pool, a tennis court and beach access.

This new resort has found an idyllic home on Platte Island, an enchanting sand cay surrounded by vibrant reefs and serene lagoons, making it a haven for marine life.

Originally, the island was an uninhabited coconut plantation. Its story took a turn when Hilton Worldwide, the parent company of Waldorf Astoria, undertook a transformative project.

The island underwent a careful rejuvenation, incorporating a variety of plant life, such as gardenias and octopus bushes. The construction of 50 villas was designed with a commitment to blend with the island's natural surroundings.

Raffles Seychelles: For a tranquil wellness break

Raffles Seychelles is the epitome of luxury, located on the northeastern tip of Praslin.

Its 86 oceanfront villas, each with a private pool, are generously spaced across the lush greenery of Praslin Island, ensuring privacy and tranquillity.

It's an ideal base for visiting Vallee de Mai, a UNESCO World Heritage site, home to the unique coco de mer palms.

The resort's spa, offering treatments inspired by local traditions, is a must-visit for wellness and relaxation.

The resort's culinary offerings are a highlight, with multiple dining options showcasing the best of Seychellois and international cuisine.

From casual beachfront dining to gourmet fine dining experiences, you can feast on various dishes featuring the freshest local ingredients.

Raffles Seychelles also offers plenty of recreational activities, from snorkelling and diving in pristine coral reefs to meeting giant Aldabra tortoises to taking a lively Creole cooking class.

Le Domaine de L'Orangeraie Resort & Spa: For secluded serenity

At the heart of the laid-back island of La Digue lies Le Domaine de L'Orangeraie, a boutique resort surrounded by lush tropical foliage.

The resort's villas and suites are found amidst palm trees and verdant gardens, offering guests a secluded oasis where they can unwind and reconnect with nature.

Here, you can book PADI courses, rent equipment and book guided dive trips to colourful reefs and bays, including Anse Mondon, Pointe Grand Barb and Black Rock.

Good value hotel in the heart of atoll.”

In overall we enjoyed staying in a hotel. It was our first water bungalo experience and was fantastic. We were pleased to find how good the local buffet restaraunt is. Among things we didn't really like: - Safari island is located on a beatuful atolll however it's sad to say this - corals are like 90% dead. Marine life is still there, but I only can predict that it will get worse every year - Yes, global warming is happening and it's a general issue not only to Maldives but I think the hotel impacted negatively a lot too. When I was snorkeling I have found that sewage pipe was leaking and dirty water was just released on a surface poisoning corals and fish. You could see how big is the difference in water up and down the current in that place from transparent blue to almost like a milk water.. This pipe is full of patches so I assume this was a regular problem happening from time to time - To my opinion the hotel is too much focused on earning and this impacts tourists comfort. Like for example you get for free 0.5L of water, the rest you have to buy yourselfes from a bar for 5USD per bottle. But it's not only about the price - you have to always watch for your water stock in the room because if you run out of water - you need to walk all the way to the bar to get some. I would prefer that water is just supplied in the room in the amount I would wish to use. Same for the dinner, in another hotels on Madlives you get water for free served by a waiter which is inluded in the buffet price but here you have to buy a plastic bottle ( and serve it yourselfes! ) - Shower was always cold for like first 5 minutes, so we had to waste a lot of water till the moment it gets at least warm.. - only a small shower gel bottle ( 10 ml probably ). For a family of 3 people when we do snorkeling few times a day this amount is not enough - we regret that we didn't take own shower gel.. So in conclusion - this is still a very great place to spend your vacation, but do not expect much from point of a service if visiting this place. You may not be treated as a special guest. Meanwhile we liked the presonnel - everyone was very friendly and hospitale.

We stayed for a week. You have many activities to do. The resort has many different beaches. Buffet menu is great, they have many options that are also changed daily.

Totally recommended ”

The hotel was great. Beach was stunning. Great for swimming; we were afraid of the sharks, luckily we didn’t encounter any while swimming. The over water villas are worth every penny. We took the semi water villa, it was better because it was closer to the restaurant and reception. However, little privacy since at lunch time people at the restaurant could see you swimming. Especially if you’re in semi water room number 131-134 However, still better than the beach villa. Beach villa looks nice and over look the sandy side of the beach which is perfect for swimming without any sharks. Semi water villas overlook a lot of reefs so you will see sharks and it is the best spot for snorkeling. I loved that they cleaned the room twice daily. Buffet was nice had a wide variety of food selection, not fancy tho but it’s what you paid for. We stayed 4 days and each day there were something new to the buffet not the same thing every day. If you’re honeymooners they will give you a complimentary candle light dinner. Which is so cute. I think the hotel needs to renovate their furniture and mattress as well

Nice resort ”

This my 10th times in Maldives I love to relax and snorkel a lot. Safari Island resort I saw a big crowd of fishes like these fishes around me. I saw a big shark near my room. Good to stay here and I will be back again.

We were happy to stay Safari Island. There are a big school of fish around us. I saw 2m long shark near my room. Room desing is very good. We will be back again.

Coulibri Ridge is the newest luxury resort on Dominica.

“You really have to want to come to Dominica ,” says Dominque Marchand, who with her partner, Daniel Langlois, has just opened the Caribbean island’s third luxury hotel, Coulibri Ridge. And she’s absolutely right.

Coulibri Ridge

• Coulibri Ridge has 14 near-identical rooms that offer stunning mountain and ocean views and private sun decks with plunge pools.
• The property has a strong commitment to protecting its environment — you won't find any single-use plastics on-site, they use batteries powered by renewable resources, and you can even find compost containers in the kitchen cabinets.
• Coulibri Ridge features two copper-ionized infinity-edge pools, daily yoga classes, a gym, and a decadent spa treatment room.

Coming from Los Angeles, I took a 1:13 a.m. flight to Miami where after a one-hour layover, I flew to the island’s Douglas-Charles Airport and arrived at 2:24 p.m. After that, motion sickness was nearly guaranteed on the two-hour drive through the island’s windy road before arriving at the resort.

Of course, it’s a bit easier from the East Coast, as Dominica receives daily flights from Miami as well as limited flights from San Juan, Puerto Rico. But the island’s unique topography — its nine volcanoes across the island’s 250 square miles allow for few stretches of flat land that could accommodate runways — can mean that, on windy days, even private planes will get stuck or delayed elsewhere.

However, its challenge in accessibility is precisely why the island has been kept free of overdevelopment. (And perhaps why, when you tell most people you’re going to Dominica, they assume you mean you’re headed to the Dominican Republic.)

Indeed, in an effort to distinguish itself, Dominica — pronounced “daa-muh-nee-kuh” and named by Christopher Columbus after arriving to colonize it on a Sunday — rebranded a few years ago to “The Nature Island.” Personally, when I hear “nature,” my first thought is “bugs.” But that’s not the case at all at Coulibri Ridge. 

Set on the island’s southern tip, just above where the Caribbean crashes into the Atlantic, the boutique resort receives consistent natural breezes and cooler evening temperatures that shoo away mosquitos and flies. Spiders? A rare occurrence.

If you’re lucky, you might see a boa constructor cross the road while you’re driving out of the resort, but snakes — and other threatening creatures — are hardly an issue. Instead, nature in Dominica is defined by the landscape, which in addition to its abundance of volcanoes, boasts 365 rivers, 12 waterfalls, lush hilltops, and nutrient-rich volcanic soil that grows “just about anything,” as more than one local told me. 

Upon entering Coulibri Ridge, a bumpy road leads through rugged, lush greenery before ending at the arrival center, the lowest part of the resort’s development. Even here, sweeping views of narrow peak mountains, verdant valleys, and azure water in the distance are enough to quickly quell any jet lag or car-induced nausea. 

Although it's spread over 285 acres, Coulibri Ridge has just 14 rooms. A series of seven near-identical, side-by-side structures each host a lower-level 930-square-foot studio room, with a 1,550-square-foot duplex suite above it. Duplexes feature both stunning mountain and valley views — spotting deer and wildlife in the distance can make it feel like you’re at an island safari lodge — and sweeping ocean views.

Private sun decks with plunge pools welcome guests at the rooms’ entrance. A lower level includes a double-height living room, powder room, kitchenette, and dining area that leads to a second covered patio facing the ocean, which is perfect for watching the sunset. Upstairs, bedrooms open to the closet and dressing area, and a second full bathroom. Air-conditioning units upstairs keep the rooms cool, while downstairs, screened windows and patio doors allow for naturally cooling cross breezes. 

Coulibri Ridge is the 24th property to join Beyond Green — a portfolio of sustainable independent hotels around the globe. If you weren’t aware that you were headed to an eco-minded property, the missing thermostat downstairs might be your first clue. (There are still the aforementioned air-conditioning units, though.)

There are other hints alluding to the property's efforts to be sustainable: the compost container in the kitchen cabinet, the compostable coffee pods, the lack of single-use plastics, and Earth-minded product choices in cleaning supplies and even spa treatment ingredients. 

But Coulibri Ridge’s strongest commitment to the environment perhaps comes from what most guests don’t see. Touring me through the property one morning, Langlois leads me behind one of the resort’s restaurants and opens a door to a long hallway. On the left are a series of batteries that store surplus renewable energy produced by solar panels and wind turbines. On the right are batteries and solar inverters. At the end of a hallway, a single computer monitors power generation, storage, and distribution.

“The idea for this project came to me in the mid '90s,” Langlois says. “We had wanted to do an experiment where we could source all of our water and power to live completely off the grid. Dominica’s topography — abundant sunshine as well as evening rainfall — made it ideal, and while we hadn’t always imagined it would take shape as a resort, in the end, it made the most sense.” 

The project technically first broke ground in 2001, with Langlois and Marchand using local workers. However, after only a single building had been constructed in five years, they realized they’d need to bring in additional labor. The resort was all but ready to open by September 2017 when a massive hurricane hit the island, wiping out many of the surrounding towns and leaving them without water or power for nearly a year and a half. 

“Even though our resort wasn’t badly affected, we couldn’t reopen until we had helped resuscitate the town,” he adds. To that end, the couple rebuilt the nearby elementary school with hurricane-resistant materials, renewable energy backup systems, and a fully equipped community kitchen. They also constructed a jetty in the nearby village of Scotts Head to aid emergency evacuation efforts in the case of hurricanes and other natural disasters, while also supporting the day-to-day activities of local fishermen and tourism providers. 

After years of making sure the town was back to normal and ready for visitors, Coulibri Ridge welcomed its first guests in December 2022. “We had a bunch of young people in their 20s, thinking that they had found the next ‘hot spot’ for New Year’s Eve,” Langlois says. “I don’t think they were necessarily disappointed, but this definitely isn’t what they were expecting.” 

While Dominica might not be the Caribbean’s new hot spot, it should be on every nature lover's list. Instead of miles of sandy shores, Dominica’s jagged coast affords crystal-clear waters for snorkeling, scuba diving, and lionfish spear hunting. Its undulating interior landscape has made it a trekker’s dream, with the 114-mile Waitukubuli National Trail running the length of the island. For a taste of culture, head into the village of Roseau for souvenirs like intricately woven local grass baskets and island T-shirts sold by a local graphic designer. You'll find no shortage of beach shack restaurants serving up freshly caught fish.

That said, it's hard to compare to the food back at Coulibri Ridge. Chef Damian Mason, a Dominica native, spent 20 years working at resorts in Barbados before returning home to spearhead the resort’s culinary program. The resort's breakfast and lunch restaurant, Mesa, serves anything from vegetable omelets and an array of freshly squeezed juices to gazpacho, fresh fish burgers, and quinoa salad. The dinner restaurant, Vista, opens to an expansive outdoor lounge and serves a rotating nightly menu of specials that could be anything from coconut curry lobster in a banana leaf to lentil dal with pickled onions and garlic naan.  

There's also a gym, daily morning yoga classes taught in an outdoor pavilion, two infinity-edge pools (which use copper ionization instead of chlorine), a decadent spa treatment room with ocean views and a private outdoor tub, and one of the most tranquil settings in the Caribbean. Suffice it to say, once you do finally arrive at Coulibri Ridge, it might be hard to leave. 

Nightly stays start at $650. To book a stay or learn more, visit coulibriridge.com .
