Looking for the next big exotic destination that’s popular amongst celebrities and billionaires alike? Look no further than Roatán Island, the largest of Honduras’ Bay Islands. Perfectly located right next to the largest barrier reef in the Caribbean Sea, Roatán is an island filled with white-sandy beaches, turquoise waters, mangroves and palm trees, a mostly undiscovered paradise island. It is the perfect place for a undisturbed getaway, and the island features many luxurious accommodation options.
If you’re a golf-lover, Pristine Bay Resort is the place for you. The Resort itself is gorgeous; picture infinity pools over the ocean with Caribbean-minimalist decor. But, the crown jewel of the hotel is situated in the middle of the resort’s 405-acres, The Black Pearl Golf Course. The Black Pearl Golf Course, created by Pete Dye and Roatan’s first and only golf course, is a championship 18-hole, Par 72, 7200 yard course. The course starts at the ocean’s beaches, rises into the island’s rolling foothills, then takes golfers on a wild ride back to the seaside clubhouse.
If you’re looking for a hotel a little more boutique-y and romantic, look no further than Barefoot Cay Resort. Keep in mind you are on a tiny island, because while the decor is minimalist and you will not find butler service around here, your stay will be uninterrupted and immensely private. I recommend the Beachfront Villas, they are brighter, more colorful, and the most luxurious of the three options (not to mention they have private beach entrances).
I saved the best for last Posh Voyagers! Just adjacent to Pristine Bay Resort is Las Verandas Hotel & Villas, arguably is the most luxurious hotel on Roatán. Las Verandas is lucky enough to have access to The Black Pearl Gold Course, so it is perfect for those who value luxury and golf. Las Verandas is currently open with six luxurious villas, eight ocean view hotel rooms, two guest pools, the Palapa Bar and our fine dining restaurant, Las Pergolas. I would recommend staying in one of the Ocean View Villas, but you cannot go wrong here. Even though it only has a 4-star rating, i give it 5-stars in my books.
