Location: Tanetane

Located amid 10 acres of forested mountainside, Manicou River Cottages, Bar and Bistro offers an authentic Nature Island vacation with just the right touches of luxury.

Spacious, treehouse-style cottages that offer jaw-dropping ocean views are stylishly designed with a mix of handmade furniture, vintage collectibles, and luxury bedding. The open-fronted design, surrounded by trees, offers maximum privacy and close proximity to nature. Perfect for viewing the many species of rare birds that frequent the property.

Awarded Platinum status by TripAdvisor’s GreenLeaders program, Manitou River’s Eco status is of the highest order, but without any compromise to quality and comfort.

With state-of-the-art solar power and rainwater harvesting, Manicou River is the only hotel in Dominica operating entirely off-grid but designed for comfort and convenience.

The stunning mountain-side bar and bistro are built from 10 different kinds of local hardwood meticulously selected from every corner of the island.

The menu changes with the best of the day, every day using local ingredients prepared with French Caribbean style. The bar is well stocked with icy-cold beers, fresh fruit cocktails, French wine and a signature house-made range of exotic fruit-infused rums.

Located high on the mountainside, just to the North of Portsmouth, Manicou River is remote enough to feel you are getting away from it all but close enough to town for convenience and local culture.
