Description
A small, secluded Inn -
perched at the head of a sun-filled valley on a verdant mountain slope in the heart of Dominica's rainforest wilderness.
Our comfortable, charming rooms overlook the spectacular Papillote Gardens, a world-class collection of rare orchids, brilliant bromeliads and effusive aroids that forms a lush backdrop of greenery and colorful blooms.
Natural hot springs course through a series of sumptuous bathing pools -- a perfect place to relax, read a book or plan the next day's adventures.
Rainbows arc across mountain ridges near the terrace of our Rainforest Restaurant. Sample our chef's inventive Creole cuisine, featuring fresh-caught fish and exotic fruits from the endless bounty of Dominica's organic gardens.
Founded in 1969, Papillote Wilderness Retreat is Dominica's original and still leading eco-inn.
Situated about 5 miles above Roseau, Dominica's capitol city, at the top of the Roseau River Valley, our restaurant and inn are set amidst a lush botanical garden with gently flowing streams and hot mineral pools.
At Papillote we work diligently to nurture a peaceful, natural and healthful atmosphere. Our success in this endeavor is reflected in a high rate of repeat visitors and guests from around the world.
Though they come for many reasons -- contemplation, healing, romance, adventure -- our guests leave Papillote with a shared experience: the genuine hospitality, extraordinary natural beauty and unrequitted serenity of our mountainside retreat. |

Amenities |
Our comfortable, charming rooms --including singles, doubles and small suites -- overlook gardens, mountains and waterfalls.
The rooms are simply furnished with comfortable beds, beautiful locally crafted bed quilts and fresh flowers from the gardens of Papillote.
The hot pools of Papillote were created by hand, but they are fed by a constant stream of volcanic mineral water that flows from natural springs near the top of our mountain.
Grand stone statues of dragons and fish covered in a patchwork quilt of moss and lichens stand guard over each of our three pools.
The largest pool can comfortably accommodate six to eight adults, while the smallest is just right for two. The third, between the others in size, is hidden like a cave beneath our veranda.
All three hot pools provide our guests with a truly unique, relaxing and healthful experience.
The gardens of Papillote stretch dramatically across a four-acre tract of land on the steep rainforested slope of Morne Macaque.
Flowering jade vines in an unbelievable shade of blue, huge pink ginger blossoms, heliconias, begonias, ferns, orchids and aroids form sumptuous compositions to tempt artists, photographers, gardeners and botanists.
Frogs and other creatures live contentedly with 30 kinds of birds and 19 species of butterfly amongst hot and cold waterfalls and soothing mineral pools.
Wherever you go, you are never far away from the sound of water. Two separate streams splash their way down through the gardens. One is hot, welling up from a natural spring at the top of a waterfall, while the other is cold. Both streams are an integral part of the garden design.
The gardens were begun in 1969 by Anne Jno Baptiste, who has since assembled a noteworthy collection of Dominica's indigenous plant life |
