Dominican-born Gregor Nassief fell in love with Secret Beach as a child and dreamed of one day owning and living on the land above it. Coming from a local family of hoteliers and businessmen, he always knew that this was the perfect spot on the island for developing a small-scale eco-tourism venture. The process of acquiring various pieces of land from different owners began almost fifteen years ago and culminated with the support of his Venezuelan-born wife Sandra Vivas's father. The celebrated architect Fruto Vivas offered to help make his dream come true by designing the beautiful luxury villas and bungalows that we see today.
Secret Bay is a story of love: of a boy and a beach; of a man and a woman; and of a father and daughter.
"This was the best waterfall we visited, way better than Emerald Pool. A cool but challenging hike through the river (bring your water shoes) and over large boulders. The fall is very powerful (feels like you are in a hurricane), but you can swim pretty close to it. Lots of other beautiful pools and scenery along the hike."
