Dominica is tall, wet and mountainous, with a small population and a road network that follows the terrain rather than fights it. Roseau is the capital and Portsmouth the second town; between them the island is forest, farm and river valley. The beaches are dark volcanic sand and there is no resort strip.
Who buys here
Hikers, divers, people wanting land and space, and buyers building or running small guesthouses rather than holiday villas. The country operates a citizenship-by-investment programme under which certain approved developments are sold; that it exists is a fact, and what it means for an individual is a question for a lawyer.
The trade-off
Hurricane Maria in 2017 was severe, and rebuilding — of houses, roads and the power network — has shaped the last several years. There is no long-runway international airport, so arrival is via a regional connection or the ferry from Martinique or Guadeloupe. Inventory is small and mixed: villas, apartments and guesthouses rather than a single product. Selling takes time, and the buyer pool is specific.
What people say about Dominica
Summary
Most of what is written about Dominica for foreign buyers comes from agencies and expat guides, with few first-hand posts, so treat the picture as indicative. Sources agree that living costs are lower than on many English-speaking Caribbean islands, with Roseau holding most shops, banks, hospitals and rental stock.
Read the full summary
They also agree that imported goods and private healthcare are not cheap, and that specialist care is limited on the island, so international insurance with evacuation cover is commonly advised. Buying is described as straightforward but not cheap for non-citizens: a local agency guide lists an extra 10% alien landholding fee on top of roughly 7% in stamp duty, judicial, assurance and legal costs, and says a licence is needed only above one acre of residential or three acres of business land. Hurricane Maria in 2017 remains the main risk reference. Public radio reported about 7,000 homes built to Category 5 standards, though some residents had still not rebuilt six years on, and guides recommend hurricane and flood cover. Infrastructure is mixed: guides flag patchy rural internet and road maintenance, and one December 2025 visitor found roads in the northeast very rough. For citizenship-by-investment property, sources give a US$200,000 minimum and a three-year hold (five if resold to another applicant), but one developer statement says five years, so confirm with the official unit. Safety is described as good by agency sources; no independent crime data was verified.

From around the web
We had a rental car and the roads were the worst you can possibly imagine, endless potholes and twists and turns, it took us forever to get anywhere.
Ensure internet connection quality before committing, especially outside Roseau and Portsmouth. Rural areas may suffer from insufficient connectivity for professional remote work.
Purchasing hurricane, tropical storm, and flood insurance is also recommended, as these weather events occur frequently from June to November.

Areas such as public transport, high-speed internet in rural zones and road maintenance may lack polish.
To be clear, the Aliens Land Holding Licence is not required when an Alien is acquiring lands one (1) acre or less for residential purposes, or three (3) acres or less for trade or business. However, whether the Aliens Land Holding Licence is required or not, the Aliens Land Holding Fee is payable.
Since Maria, the government of Dominica (pronounced: daw-muh-KNEE-kuh) has built 7,000 new homes — about a quarter of its housing stock - with materials to withstand another Category 5 hurricane.
Property must be held for a minimum of 3 years (5 years if resold to another CBI applicant). Separate government fees apply in addition to the property purchase price.
However, expats should note that health services are extremely limited, especially compared to the US.
Imported goods and private healthcare are the main cost lines where Dominica does not deliver a discount versus mainland alternatives.
Specialised care (complex cardiology, oncology, neurosurgery) is limited on the island.
