Secret Bay Resort, DominicaâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s renowned all-villa rainforest retreat, has unveiled a groundbreaking fractional ownership program, offering a unique opportunity to own a share of this six-star sanctuary. Known for its exceptional service, eco-conscious design, and membership in Relais & ChÃÆâteaux, Secret Bay now extends an exclusive chance for discerning buyers to become part of its limited luxury residence collection. This new program complements Secret BayâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s whole-ownership sales, its Citizenship by Investment program, and the coveted Gemstones Residence Club.
Through the fractional ownership program, buyers can secure a real ownership share in the resort's Clifftop Zabuco and Ti-FÃÆèy Multi-Villa Estates, valued at $4.5 million each. These estates, among the CaribbeanâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s architectural gems, feature two distinctive villas: the iconic Zabuco Villa, a spacious 3,338-square-foot retreat that captures the essence of the surrounding rainforest, and the two-story Ti-FÃÆèy Villa, offering 1.5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 1,686 square feet of indoor-outdoor living space. Ownership allows for two weeks of stayâÃâ¬Ãâone week in each villaâÃâ¬Ãâideal for a tranquil coupleâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s escape or a memorable family gathering amid lush natural surroundings.
With options ranging from two to ten weeks per year, fractional ownership begins at $216,000 and goes up to $1 million, free from annual fees. Owners enjoy not only luxurious residence stays but also membership in the ThirdHome travel club and the potential to qualify for Dominican citizenship. Perched over 200 feet above sea level, Secret BayâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s residences deliver breathtaking views and a harmonious fusion of luxury and natureâÃâ¬Ãâmaking this ownership opportunity a unique investment in a pristine Caribbean destination.
The new Multi-Villa Estates fractional ownership program at Secret Bay builds on the resortâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s impressive real estate achievements. Four years after the debut of whole ownership sales and three years after setting a record with DominicaâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s most expensive vacation home sale at $7.1 million, Secret Bay expands its offering, maintaining its unique model with no annual or owner fees for fractional owners. Through a well-designed system, the resort reserves weeks for villa rentals, shares rental income with owners quarterly after expenses, and provides varying positive returns on investment. This program also aligns with Secret BayâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s Citizenship by Investment (CBI) offering, which allows individuals or families to obtain Dominican citizenship through government-approved contributions.
Secret BayâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s fractional ownership program offers a streamlined approach to owning a Caribbean vacation home while enjoying the resortâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s luxurious amenities, from the treetop Gommier Spa and the Bwa Mang Wellness Pavilion to the riverside Zing Zing Restaurant. With access to Secret BayâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s property rental program, property management, and resale support, owners can relax and enjoy exclusive services, including three pristine beaches, a saltwater infinity pool, an art gallery, and the longest hillside funicular in the Caribbean. Membership in ThirdHomeâÃâ¬Ãâ¢s luxury home-sharing community and eligibility for Dominican citizenship through the CBI program further enhance the appeal.
