2. Bailey’s Caye ($4,150,000)

---

Link to original listing

• Location: Old Port Royal, Roatán, Islas de la Bahía
• Size: ~6.4 acres island, ~40 acres total holding
• Description: 11km E of Punta Gorda, Approx 30km ENE of Roatán Airport
• Ownership: Freehold
• Development: Undeveloped
• Map: See on Google Earth

There is a shipwreck off Bailey’s Caye. That single detail says most of what a buyer needs to know about the water here, reef close enough to swim to, visibility to dive it, and the kind of feature that gives a resort its identity before anything is built.

The island itself runs to roughly 6.4 acres at Old Port Royal on Roatán’s quiet eastern end, with beaches, its own coral reef and a deep-water channel. The full holding extends to about 40 acres, taking in two channels and two mangrove parcels alongside the island.

Access is by boat only, which is precisely the point. Old Port Royal is the least developed stretch of Roatán, eleven kilometres east of Punta Gorda and thirty from the international airport.

The site is pitched at an exclusive resort, and the combination of reef, wreck and deep-water access is a rare one to find in single ownership.

3. Coyote Island ($3,000,000)

---

Link to original listing

• Location: San Carlos, Amapala, Valle (Gulf of Fonseca)
• Size: ~17.96 acres, 7.27 hectares
• Description: 8km WNW of Amapala, Approx 10km W of Coyolito ferry
• Ownership: Freehold
• Development: Developed
• Map: See on Google Earth

Eighteen acres makes Coyote the largest of the Gulf of Fonseca islands currently offered, more than three times the size of its neighbours, and enough land to support a genuine development rather than a single house.

The setting is the Pacific bay where Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua meet: volcanic peaks, calm protected water, mangrove channels and a birdlife density that draws naturalists from across the region. Amapala and its dormant volcano lie eight kilometres east.

Seven hectares gives scope for a small lodge, a family compound with real separation between buildings, or a conservation holding with a light footprint. The calm water of the Gulf makes boat access straightforward year-round, unlike the exposed Caribbean coast.

The island is also marketed as Matate, worth knowing when searching, as the two names appear interchangeably in Honduran listings.

4. Chachahuate Cay ($2,500,000)

---

Link to original listing

• Location: Cayos Cochinos archipelago, Islas de la Bahía
• Size: ~2.10 acres, 0.85 hectares
• Description: 38km ENE of La Ceiba, Approx 42km S of Roatán Airport
• Ownership: Freehold
• Development: Developed
• Map: See on Google Earth

The Cayos Cochinos sit on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest reef system on earth, and the water around them is among the clearest in the Caribbean. Chachahuate Cay #2 is two acres of it, and it comes built.

The improvements are substantial for a cay this size: two duplex accommodation buildings, three further wooden structures, guard and electrical buildings, beachfront booths, a dock, a water well and a solar electrical system. It is a working set-up rather than a blank site.

Position is the other draw. La Ceiba lies 38 kilometres southwest on the mainland, with Roatán 42 kilometres north, close enough to draw from both, far enough that the archipelago has kept the character the larger Bay Islands have partly lost.

For a buyer wanting a diving base or a small hospitality operation on a world-class reef, the infrastructure here is already in place.

5. Violin Island ($670,000)

---

Link to original listing

• Location: San Carlos, Amapala, Valle (Gulf of Fonseca)
• Size: ~5.23 acres, 2.12 hectares
• Description: 7km WNW of Amapala, Approx 10km W of Coyolito ferry
• Ownership: Freehold
• Development: Undeveloped
• Map: See on Google Earth

Most people looking for a Honduran island look at Roatán. Violin sits on the other coast entirely, five acres in the Gulf of Fonseca, the sheltered Pacific bay shared between three nations.

The Gulf is a different landscape from the Bay Islands: volcanic islands rising steeply from calm water, mangrove channels rich with birdlife, and the long Pacific light that made this coast a favourite of Honduran travellers long before the Caribbean side was developed.

At just over two hectares, Violin is large enough for a substantial private compound while remaining small enough to walk end to end. It lies seven kilometres from Amapala, with the mainland reachable via the Coyolito ferry.

For a buyer drawn to the road less travelled, the Pacific islands trade at a fraction of Caribbean prices for comparable acreage.

6. Sirena Island ($257,000)

---

Link to original listing

• Location: Gulf of Fonseca, Amapala, Valle (Pacific coast)
• Size: ~2.01 acres, 0.82 hectares
• Description: 5km WNW of Amapala, Approx 8km W of Coyolito ferry
• Ownership: Freehold
• Development: Undeveloped
• Map: See on Google Earth

At $257,000, Sirena is the most affordable whole island in Honduras, and one of very few anywhere in Central America priced within reach of an ordinary buyer rather than an institution.

Two acres in the Gulf of Fonseca, the great volcanic bay where Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua meet. This is the Pacific side of the country, a world away from the Caribbean cays: mangrove shallows, volcanic cones rising from the water, and some of the most dramatic sunsets in Central America.

Amapala lies five kilometres east on Isla del Tigre, once Honduras’s principal Pacific port, now a quiet town of clapboard houses beneath a dormant volcano. The Coyolito ferry connects to the mainland eight kilometres away.

For a buyer who wants an island rather than an investment thesis, Sirena is the smallest entry price in the country.
