Picard Beach Cottages
A Caribbean icon on the Nature Island of Dominica, Picard Beach Cottages welcomes you to its paradisiacal setting, perched just steps from the longest black-sand beach in the region. Upon arrival, you're enveloped by the symphony of nature - the songs of local birds serenade you while the waves rhythmically lap the shore. The elegant simplicity of the lobby, adorned with local art and the rustic charm of wood beams, evokes a sense of comfort and warmth, luring you into a world of understated enchantment. Each cottage offers expansive views over Prince Rupert Bay, bringing the beauty of the landscape indoors, enhanced by thoughtfully curated interiors that blend modern touches with local flair. Enjoy sunlit afternoons by the beach, engage in rejuvenating water sports, or unwind with an indulgent treatment at Chaz Golden Body Tritz, the full-service spa that adds a layer of tranquility to your stay.

The charming communities of Glanvillia and Douglas Bay are within easy reach, offering local culture and vibrant markets, while Fort Shirley beckons with its historical allure just 3.5 kilometers away. Easily navigable, the property provides convenient access to local transport services for a seamless exploration of the island's hidden gems.
