Grand Roatan Resort & Spa
Upscale Caribbean island resort with a boutique Kimpton personality — hand-woven lampshades, locally-made wood art, and subtle sea tones keep the rooms from feeling generic. The whole place has a laidback confidence: complimentary evening social hour, zero pet restrictions, and easy reef access straight off the beach.

Why It Matters
Roatán's first international branded luxury resort. Named to Travel + Leisure's 500 Best Hotels in the World 2025, National Geographic Best of the World 2024, and Condé Nast Traveler's #4 Resort in Central America. Also the filming location for Netflix's Love is Blind Season 8. Kao Kamasa Spa has been ranked among the World's Top Destination Spas.
Kimpton Grand Roatán Resort & Spa sits on West Bay Beach, right along the world's second-largest barrier reef. It's Roatán's first internationally branded resort — 122 rooms, suites, bungalows, and full-kitchen villa suites spread across a 5-floor main building and standalone canopy bungalows. Four restaurants, the Pesh-inspired Kao Kamasa Spa, a beachside infinity pool, and an on-property dive shop round out an operation that punches well above its Caribbean-island-resort weight class.
