Virtually every avid traveler has a mental list of places they want to visit and adventures they want to experience.  Preparing an inventory of meaningful accomplishments and checking them off the list one-by-one is a satisfying way to know that you’re at least attempting to make the most of your life.  Well, we’ve come up with something else to add to your bucket list:  Discovering a Roatan boutique hotel.  Why?  Read on to find out.

What Is A Boutique Hotel?

Boutique hotels blend the best aspects of top-rated, brand name hotels and uniquely curated, independent bed and breakfasts.   They provide a homey, comfortable stay with luxurious amenities and top notch service.  Boutique hotels have a limited number of guests which allows for more attentive service in a unique setting that you’d struggle to find elsewhere.  Boutique hotels customarily have a true affinity with the local culture – something that is often lost in the brand name hotel experience.  

Where Is Roatan?

If you haven’t heard of Roatan before, you wouldn’t be alone!  Roatan is a small island (just 5 x 35 miles) in the Caribbean Sea about 40 miles off the north coast of the Central American country of Honduras.  Roatan is still a well-kept secret from most of the traveling masses, although that is surely changing since the arrival of cruise ship daytrippers.  But for the adventurers who want to explore some of the more secluded areas of the island, they’ll be rewarded with miles of deserted, white sand beaches, fresh local produce, friendly locals and access to some of the clearest, reef-filled waters in the world.

Discovering A Roatan Boutique Hotel On The North Coast

Most visitors to Roatan, whether arriving by cruise ship or plane, tend to gravitate towards the island’s western tip.  This is the most developed part of Roatan featuring the popular tourist destinations of West End and West Bay.  However, if you’re looking to get away from it all while still having access to luxurious amenities, a trip to Camp Bay Lodge on the northeastern side of the island will give you the respite you’re looking for.  Camp Bay Lodge is the quintessential Roatan boutique hotel sitting on the island’s longest stretch of natural white sand beach lapped by clear turquoise waters.

What Makes Camp Bay Lodge Unique Among Roatan Boutique Hotels?

Camp Bay Lodge features all the things you’d expect from a boutique hotel: attentive, personalized service, an inviting restaurant and bar that focuses on fresh, local organic ingredients, a judicious number of locally-crafted guest rooms and a direct connection to the local community.  What makes Camp Bay Lodge unique is its proximity to the beach (literally steps outside your door) and its focus on the curiously contrasting activities of kite surfing and yoga.  If you’re looking for a place to both pamper and challenge yourself, Camp Bay Lodge provides the perfect setting.
