ABOUT DOMINICAThe Commonwealth of Dominica "The Nature Island" is one of the Windward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean, lying between Guadeloupe to the north and Martinique to the south. A volcanic island 46 km in length, Dominica has a central mountain ridge running from Cape Melville in the north to the cliffs in the south. Morne Diablotin rises to 1,447 metres. There are numerous mountain streams and rivers, none of them navigable. The scenery is outstandingly beautiful, with waterfalls and luxuriantly wooded mountains. Most beaches are of black volcanic sand, with some of golden sand. The climate is subtropical and hot, but cooled by sea breezes, with a rainy season in June–October, when hurricanes may occur. Rainfall is heavy, especially in mountain areas.
Dominica was ranked no. 1 in 2017, 2018 and 2019 in the CBI (Citizenship by Investment) Index, a publication by the Financial Times’ Professional Wealth Management (PWM) magazine.
