Four coastlines along the Honduran Caribbean.

Two offshore islands built around the reef, and two mainland beach towns where the jungle meets the sea.

Bay Islands

Roatán

The island most people mean when they say “Honduras”.

Roatán sits about 60 km off the mainland, wrapped in the second-largest barrier reef in the world. West Bay has the postcard sand; West End has the bars and dive shops; the east end is quiet, green and almost empty. Most of our packages start here.

  • Reef access straight off the beach

    At West Bay you can snorkel the reef wall without a boat.

  • Direct international flights

    Roatán has its own airport, so no mainland connection is required.

  • Every budget covered

    Seven partner resorts, from family all-inclusive to adults-only boutique.

Utila

Smaller, cheaper, and the best chance of a whale shark anywhere in the Caribbean.

Utila is the backpacker-and-diver island golf carts instead of taxis, dive schools instead of resorts, and open water north of the island where whale sharks feed year-round. It's the cheapest place on earth to get certified, and one of the few where a sighting is genuinely likely.

    Wall & Wreck Dives

    Drop-offs on the north side, the Halliburton wreck to the south.

    Whale Shark Days

    Boat search north of the island, best March–April and August–September.

    Cayes & Sandbars

    Water Caye and Pigeon Caye day trips sand, shade and nothing else.

Mainland Coast

Tela

Wide mainland sand, warm shallow water, and hardly anyone on it.

Tela is where Hondurans go. The bay is calm and swimmable end to end, the Garífuna villages along the coast are worth a day on their own, and Punta Sal and the Lancetilla botanical gardens are both short drives away.

Featured Resort

La Ensenada Beach Resort

All-inclusive on its own stretch of Tela Bay pools, watersports, and a kids' programme that actually runs. Our default recommendation for families staying on the mainland.

Mainland Coast

La Ceiba

Beach on one side, rainforest on the other.

La Ceiba is the gateway to the Bay Islands the ferry leaves from here but it's worth staying for. Pico Bonito national park rises straight out of the coastal plain behind the town, so you can raft the Cangrejal in the morning and be on the sand by three.

  • Whitewater rafting on the Cangrejal

    Grade II–IV depending on season, thirty minutes from town.

  • Pico Bonito eco days

    Waterfalls, canopy trails and birdwatching inside the national park.

  • Ferry hub for Roatán and Utila

    Easy to combine mainland and island nights in one trip.

Featured Resort

Palma Real Beach Resort & Villas

Large all-inclusive on the coast east of La Ceiba, with a water park, private beach and villa options for bigger groups.
