Where is it? Roatan is part of the Bay Islands chain and located off the coast of Honduras either a one hour ferry ride or 15 min flight from its international airport. We are only two hour flight from Miami, Houston or Atlanta. Our International airport is currently being serviced by airlines such as Continental, Delta and Taca. Charters from Italy and Canada are operating once a week and soon from Spain.

Tourism it’s just starting! Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruise lines both have added Roatan to its Caribbean destination listing. The Royal Caribbean dock was inaugurated on January 2009, including premier stores such as Diamond’s International, Tous and Duty Free America. Carnival Cruise Line will finish its port at the end of 2009, to include two docks and a shopping village located in one of the most beautiful coves on the island. Roatan is also a part of the Bay Islands Free Tourist Zone.

Economic and tax benefits! Pricing is still affordable on this pristine island. We enjoy low closing costs (4.5%) and, on average, a $100 - $300 yearly property tax. Property values have increased an average of 5% over the past years. To ensure your property, companies such as American and Stewart Title can be acquired. Foreigners can purchase and own ¾ of an acre. For foreigners that wish to purchase more, they must create a Honduran corporation, a process that is non expensive ($1,200 - $1,800) and is a fairly a simple transaction. Another benefit is that the capital gains tax is only of 4%
