The beautiful Caribbean tropical island of Roatan is part of the Bay Islands of Honduras. The Bay Islands also include Utila and Guanaja. Roatan is located about 40 miles off the north coast of Honduras. The island is surrounded by the world’s second largest barrier coral reef and offers amazing SCUBA diving, snorkeling, and beautiful, white sandy beaches. For many years, Roatan was a diver’s dream vacation spot and not widely known. Now, with new development and growth, the island has become a terrific and popular destination for families and those seeking an upscale vacation.

There are direct flights to the island from Miami and Houston on two major airlines. More airlines will be making Roatan a destination as well. The real estate business is booming and will continue to grow in the coming years. Right now, there is very little Caribbean beachfront property available for sale.

Check out the fabulous properties listed below.
