Half Moon Bay Resort — West End, Roatan 255 feet (78 meters) of Caribbean beachfront | 1.5 acres (6,700 sq. m.) | Grandfathered development rights | 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.
