About Dominica

Dominica, or the Commonwealth of Dominica as it is officially known, is nicknamed Nature Island and is located in the Lesser Antilles region of the Caribbean Sea. The country obtained independence from the UK in 1978. The capital city is Roseau and the population is 73,286 (Jan 2020). The official language is English and British common law is the nation’s legal system.

The country is only small in size at 290 square miles (29 miles long and 16 miles wide).

Dominica is economically secure, offers one of the highest standards of living in the Caribbean and has the lowest crime rate in the entire region. It has also been named as one of the world’s happiest places to live and Morne Trois Pitons National Park has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The staggering coastline, numerous immaculate waterfalls, natural hot springs and rivers, lush green mountains with unspoiled rainforest and gorgeous white and black sandy beaches provide beautiful and picturesque settings.

Though there are 2 airports on the island, flying into Dominica from an international destination requires travelling via airport hubs in Puerto Rico or San Juan or nearby islands in the Caribbean such as Barbados, Martinique, Antigua, St. Maarten or Guadeloupe.
