Layou River Hotel

The Layou River Hotel is comprised of 38 rooms and 5 suites nestled on the banks of Dominica's longest river. Enclosed on and encompassing over 10 acres of carefully manicured lawns and breath-taking landscape, the Layou River Hotel offers an opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in a setting that embodies both beauty and grace, peace and tranquility. Conveniently located on the mid-western coast of the island, between Melvill Hall Airport (45mins) and Roseau (20mins), the capital city, and a short drive from any of Dominica's many tourist attractions including the Emerald Pool. It's a perfect jump-off spot for exploring Dominica and for point-to-point traveling.

From within the air-conditioned rooms amid open terraces or perched on private patios overlooking flowing rivers and majestic mountains, experience nature as the sweet scent of ylan-ylang rides on cool mountain zephyrs to welcome you.

Staffed with only the finest, and serving only the freshest, the West Indian Creole or authentic Oriental cuisine will entice even the most discriminating palate. After breakfast, lunch or dinner, take a dip in the pool or bathe in the river and the natural hot springs.

Bike the meandering roads, hike the gentle hills, walk the luscious gardens. Watch some birds. Watch some T.V. Read a book. Talk. Meditate. Delight in candlelit dinners in the moonlight.

Free shuttle (5 minutes) to beach. Not fancy but a great bargain for families.
