Wellness Tips

Make the most of your wellness experience.

💆

The natural volcanic hot springs at Wotten Waven are Dominica's most authentic wellness experience — visit in the early morning or evening for the best atmosphere

💆

Book spa treatments at resort properties (Jungle Bay, Fort Young) in advance, especially during December to April peak season

💆

The entire island is a natural wellness destination — even simple activities like rainforest walks and river swimming have significant restorative value

💆

Bring Dominican bay oil home as a natural remedy — it's the authentic source ingredient for Bay Rum and widely available at the Old Market

💆

Combine Wotten Waven hot springs with Trafalgar Falls for a full wellness day — the hot volcanic pools and cool waterfall dips are wonderfully contrasting
