World’s Greatest Places 2023 – Roatan, Honduras A Quieter Barrier Reef
Surrounded by the aquamarine waves of the world’s second largest barrier reef, Roatan, located off the coast of Honduras, has attracted backpackers and nature lovers for decades, but new luxury properties are transforming the island’s rustic appeal. On the northeast tip of Roatán, the sleepy town of Punta Gorda boasts the title of the oldest permanent settlement on the island. Settled by the Afro-Indigenous Garifuna in the 18th century, the town showcases Garifuna dance, music, and food at weekly street parties. About 20 miles off the coast of Roatán, the Cayos Cochinos archipelago, a marine preserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site, is also set to launch new upscale eco cabins this spring. Check it them out here..

DEPARTURES – The Travel Issue
Departures Magazine recently published an expose highlighting Roatan as one of the world’s true gems.

Lizzette Kattan Pozzi recalls a lifetime of technicolour memories spent on the magical island of Roatán, a far-f!ung Caribbean paradise sixty-five kilometres off the coast of Honduras.

“ The best way to observe a fish,” French filmmaker and oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau once said, “is to become a fish.” This is how I feel when I visit Roatán. My connection to this pristine little island, off the northern coast of Honduras, began in the 1970s but remains embedded in my soul. Even all these decades later.

When is the Best Time to Dive in Roatan
You probably think of Roatán as a great destination to escape the cold during snowy winters. And it is indeed a great place to enjoy the tropical weather of the Caribbean in the dead of winter. But, if you’re coming here for the best diving experience possible, we’ll let you in on a little secret: The summer is the best time to dive in Roatán. Many great dive sites, including most of the favorite spots, are on the west end of Roatán along the northern shore. And just minutes away from the dive shop by boat. The key to good diving conditions in Roatán is calm and clear waters.

Most Spectacular Scuba Dive Sites – Review by Jennifer Boyd of Seabrook Reviews

In this article, Jennifer Boyd takes readers on a thrilling journey to uncover some of the most awe-inspiring dive sites that she personally experienced. From the colorful depths of the warm ocean spots, these areas are sure to capture the hearts of divers. Roatan offers amazing diving on the Mesoamerican reef. This reef is the 2nd largest in the world and the largest in the Western Hemisphere. It spans roughly 600 miles, offering pristine coral reefs, micro and macro marine life, seahorses, eagle rays, and southern stingrays. The shallow reefs are brimming with juvenile reef fish.

The World’s Largest Cruise Ship is Almost Ready to Set Sail
The ship is set to make its debut for vacationers in January 2024, setting out on seven-night Eastern and Western Caribbean vacations from Miami, Florida, throughout the year. Icon of the Seas will visit destinations like Royal Caribbean’s private island destination, Perfect Day at CocoCay, as well as The Bahamas, Cozumel, Mexico, Philipsburg, St. Maarten, and Roatan, Honduras.
