A Bit Of Our History:

 


Thirty five years ago we set out to create a unique oasis in the rainforest wilds of Dominica.


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.
