We hope everyone has been having an amazing start to the year, here in Roatan we are happy to say we are still seeing strong interest and growth in the local real estate market and the outlook for the rest of the year looks promising

One thing that remains constant is the sought after-Roatan lifestyle, relaxed island living, water activities like diving & snorkeling, sporting facilities for golf or tennis, modern to local restaurants, and more and more general activities are what keep driving interest in the island – it’s the lifestyle people want.

Though we are biased, there really are a lot of positives to island living in Roatan, not to mention property is very reasonably priced when compared to other Caribbean Islands. The island’s infrastructure has been going through some improvements with major road projects which will benefit the island for years to come and help assist with growing visitor numbers.

Don’t fear though, growing visitor numbers are great for the island’s economy and due to the island’s geography and wide open spaces there are lots of places that still feel like you have disconnected from the busy modern world and have settled into a more relaxed way of life.
