Comprehensive Accessibility Across The Resort
Secret Bay believe that the serene beauty of Dominica should be experienced by all, which is why they’ve taken extensive measures to ensure their eco-luxe enclave is accessible to every traveller. Here’s how Secret Bay is redefining accessible luxury.

Welcome House
Mouben Welcome House is designed with accessibility in mind and serves as a hub for getting around the property. Mouben features an accessible welcome area with restrooms, from which guests can seamlessly connect to the Concierge team for experience planning, the villas by the funicular or via their fleet of electric golf carts, the restaurant, brewery and gallery by accessible ramps and accessible pathways to the bar, lap pool and beach areas.

Transportation
Secret Bay provides a seamless arrival experience with their shuttle van, equipped with a seat that lowers down and out of the vehicle for ease of transfer. This service picks up all guests at the airport and transports them directly to Secret Bay. Additionally, the resort offers golf cart transportation around the grounds and to the villas using slide boards for self-transfer or assisted transfer, as well as a funicular – the longest in the Caribbean – which has a ramped boarding area so those using wheelchairs or with limited mobility can smoothly board the rail car.

Wheelchair Accessible Villas
Secret Bay’s new two-bedroom accessible villas are fully equipped to provide a luxurious and inclusive stay. These villas feature ramps from the driveway to the villa deck, a wheelchair-friendly lift between the pool deck and the upper levels, and an accessible bathroom with grab bars, a padded shower bench and a handheld showerhead, providing seamless accessibility for those using wheelchairs or experiencing mobility challenges. The private infinity pools are outfitted with stairs, handrails, and poolside grab bars to ensure safety and ease of use. Additionally, staff are trained to place food items on lower refrigerator shelves for easy reach and to reposition or remove extra furniture upon request.

The newly opened, multi-level Bwa Denn Kitchen, Terrazza, gallery, brewery and boardroom are all fully accessible. Guests can enjoy these spaces with ease, thanks to ramps to the ground floor and an elevator connecting the floors, which also provides access to accessible restrooms.

The bar and lap pool area at Secret Bay is fully accessible, with pathways leading directly to the pool deck. An accessible restroom is also conveniently located near the pool.

Beach Area
Secret Bay features an accessible pathway directly to the beach, where the sand is firm enough to be navigable for wheelchair users. Guests may require assistance across the sand, and the resort offers a sit-on-top kayak with outriggers for stability, suitable for some wheelchair users depending on strength and ability. A beach mat is also available to enhance accessibility.
