Surprisingly Unexpected.
Roatán is located on the Western Caribbean Sea, just off the coast of Honduras. It is the largest of the Bay Islands of which Utila, Guanaja and the Cayos Cochinos are also a part. Famous for its amazing reef formations, Roatán has gained popularity lately as an ideal vacation, retirement and investment destination. Roatán has come a long way from a little fishing village not too long ago.
The beauty of Roatán lies as much under, as above the water. The densely populated corals underneath are matched by lush tropical vegetation on the mountain ridge that makes up the island. The lifestyle is very laid back and the local population is very friendly towards visitors. Roatán is easily reachable by direct flights from Houston, Atlanta, San Salvador; charter flights from Toronto (Canada) and Milan (Italy); and connecting flights from most of the main hubs in the U.S.A. and Latin America via Honduras’ main airports in Tegucigalpa and San Pedro Sula. Also, all of the main cruise ship companies make regular scheduled calls into Roatán, reaching over 300 ships per year, which makes the island one of the top destinations in the Caribbean for this segment. Several of the guests who visit Roatán for a day on a cruise ship return to the island on a longer vacation shortly after. Activities on the island include diving, snorkeling, fishing (flats, deep sea, bottom), canopy, shopping, buggy trips, dolphin encounters, golf at the new Black Pearl course, the Roatán Underwater Museum and plenty more. On behalf of The Pristine Bay Resort and affiliate companies: our warmest welcome to Roatán!
