Rodney’s Wellness Retreat in Soufrière, Dominica is a nature-forward hideaway set on an ex-lime estate in the Kanawa valley, just outside the village along Brooklyn Road, with a multi-experience layout designed for travellers, hikers, and anyone wanting to slow down in lush surroundings. Spread across about 4.6 acres, the retreat blends accommodation, dining, and leisure in one location, anchored by the Big Banana Campground and CarRod’s Cottages (including more upscale, “luxury” cottage options that can be booked in advance). Guests can wander CarRod’s Gardens, a botanical garden filled with fruit trees and tropical plants, with fruit-picking welcomed in season, then cool off at the on-site swimming pool (often referenced as the Big Banana Pool). For food and drinks, Kanawa Restaurant and the Mayan Bar highlight local Dominican flavours, with the house Kanawa rum punch frequently singled out as a must-try. The property is also positioned as a convenient base for guided tours and hikes, sitting within easy reach of Waitukubuli National Trail segments, and it hosts or supports special occasions and group gatherings, from themed nights to private events like weddings, receptions, conferences, and retreats.
