Resort at a Glance: Barefoot Cay Resort

The secluded bungalows and villas of Barefoot Cay Resort are scattered across 4 acres of a privately owned islet known as Barefoot Cay, which lies just off Roatán island’s southern shore. The resort only has a handful of bungalows and villas- just twelve luxury accommodations- lending it an air of seclusion. On the southern shore, take a walk to the palapa where you can relax in a hammock or set out on a snorkeling trip on our house reef.

• Explore the waves with snorkel gear, available for use free of charge from the onsite PADI-certified dive center, or learn to scuba dive with lessons from experienced dive staff.
• Lounge on the dock, which feature a 30-foot diameter palapa with hammocks, lounge chairs, and swim ladders for easy access to the water for swimming and kayaking.
• Take a dip in the inviting pool, which also features a two-level cabana where you can dine amid tropical views.
• Unwind at the Lookout Lounge, a good place to read a book or watch a game on the flat-screen TV.
• Treat yourself to a trip to the full-service spa, where techs perform treatments ranging from mocha-infused body scrubs to deep-tissue massages.

Roatán, Honduras: Diver’s Paradise with Dense Jungle Interior

Though Roatán—the largest of Honduras’s Bay Islands—used to be plagued by pirates looting the gold of Spanish galleons, most of the popular shipwrecks were purposefully sunk for divers. But that doesn’t make the many dive sites surrounding the island any less appealing. Walls of coral and more than 800 species of fish have turned them into natural wonders. Starfish, sea turtles, and eels are common sights during scuba-diving and snorkeling trips. The crystal-clear waters contain a wealth of Mayan, Paya, and Garifuna artifacts as well.

Farther inland, dense jungles and grassy hills stretch across the surface of the island. From the secluded bays of Roatán’s East End, you can get a change of scenery by taking winding dirt roads to smaller villages. The towns of Coxen Hole and French Harbour in particular provide a taste of local culture in the form of street vendors, an iguana farm, and shrimp fishers working the docks.
