In 2007 Roatán was named one of NuWire’s Top 5 Places to buy Caribbean Real Estate, and currently the market on the small tropical paradise is poised for a takeoff. This small island located 40 miles of the Honduras coast has been getting a lot of attention lately by divers looking for undisturbed reefs. Local laws have also been put into place to maintain the beauty of the island and its surrounding waters; last year the Honduran government invested $50 million in sanitation and sewage systems to keep the islands clean.

According to LatinFinance over 40 percent of the $450 million Honduras makes each year in tourism revenue comes from the activity on Roatán. That number is expected to grow as Carnival and Royal Caribbean cruise lines begin construction on two ports for their respective cruise lines. Thanks to these new ports the number of cruise ships visiting Roatán is expected to quadruple from last years numbers, putting the number of cruise ships to over a million by the time the projects are complete.

Rapid development of resorts and infrastructure are underway to support the new influx of people coming to Roatán, making now the perfect time to get in. Prices are rising, but are expected to experience an even greater surge as life on Roatán becomes even more attractive. So, if you have the money to make a solid investment on Roatán, now is the time to go ahead and do it.
