Roatán, located between the islands of Útila and Guanaja, is the largest of Honduras’ Bay Islands and it is absolutely beautiful. The island was formerly known as Ruatan and Rattan. This tropical island has mesmerizing views of the sea with its shades of blue, lush vegetation, gorgeous sunsets, and hills giving spectacular vantage points making it a perfect place for photography.

A place this makes you want to live there or at least have a vacation get-away spot you’ve claimed as your own. If you are going to be choosing a building site, keep in mind that any kind of construction including home construction takes longer on Roatan than it does in the United States with dimensional constuction. This is because building materials are not as readily available and the selection is more limited and it’s also important to know that slows construction projects to a halt at times during the rainy season.
