Half Moon Bay Resort, West End, Roatan,

- Roatan Bay Island

Half Moon Bay Resort offers 255 feet of Caribbean oceanfront on 1.5
acres in West End, Roatan, one of the last parcels of this scale in the
area. The sunset-facing property includes a private sand beach,
commercial dock and guest cabins. The resort is not currently operating,
presenting a repositioning opportunity for the right buyer. Active
tenants include a glass-bottom boat operator and a dive operation,
generating passive income. The residential side location delivers
privacy and quiet while remaining five minutes from West End’s shops and
restaurants. Grandfathered development rights allow building at a
location no longer permitted under current zoning, giving developers a
rare advantage. The site suits a boutique luxury resort renovation or a
high-end residential villa project.

Operating income
One
of the last beachfront parcels of this scale in West End, Half Moon Bay
Resort offers something increasingly rare in Roatan’s most sought-after
tourism corridor: meaningful waterfront, existing income, and the
development rights to build what current zoning would no longer allow.

The Asset
Situated
on the sunset-facing shoreline of Half Moon Bay, the 1.5-acre (6,700
sq. m.) property delivers 255 feet (78 meters) of direct water frontage,
a private sand beach, and a full-length commercial dock — one of the
few remaining of its kind in the bay. A glass-bottom boat operator
currently leases dock space and a dive operation leases the dive shop
and two guest buildings, providing immediate passive income from day
one.
The property is improved with a low-density collection of guest
cabins, a central food and beverage hub, and operational support
facilities. A functioning dive operation anchors the commercial
activity, supported by two recently renovated guest room buildings.
Select additional structures have also undergone recent renovation,
reducing near-term capital requirements for a repositioning buyer. The
hotel and restaurant are not currently operating.

The Location
Half
Moon Bay Resort sits on the residential side of the bay, quieter and
more private than the commercial strip, yet just a five-minute walk or
kayak paddle from West End’s restaurants, bars, and dive shops.
Immediate neighbors include the bay’s iconic sailboat swing and a
private deep-sea submarine attraction, two of the area’s most
distinctive experiential and Instagram draws.

This positioning
offers the best of both worlds: the seclusion that premium hospitality
guests demand, with the vibrancy of one of the Caribbean’s most
established dive and tourism destinations just moments away.

The Development Opportunity
Several
legacy structures are being intentionally retained to preserve
grandfathered development rights — entitlements that permit
significantly greater density, footprint, and positioning than current
zoning would allow on a clean-slate parcel. For a developer, this
represents a material and irreplaceable advantage: the ability to build
at a scale that is no longer achievable anywhere else in this location.

The site is well-positioned for multiple development strategies:
” Boutique luxury resort: overwater or beachfront bungalows, dive-focused eco-resort, or an adults-only retreat concept
”
Residential development: private villa community or fractional
ownership product targeting the growing second-home buyer in the Western
Caribbean
” Hybrid model: high-end accommodations combined with
experiential tourism, capitalizing on Roatan’s established international
dive and adventure travel market

The Market
Roatan continues
to attract growing international visitor arrivals, with West End
remaining the island’s premier destination for both tourism and
residential investment. Waterfront supply at this scale is effectively
exhausted. This offering represents one of the final opportunities to
acquire a commanding beachfront position in an established, high-demand
market — with the infrastructure, income, and entitlements already in
place.
