Time to Start Planning Roatan
If you’re already thinking about trading cold winter days for warm Caribbean sunshine, now is the time to start making plans. Roatan’s high season runs from mid-December through mid-April, and fall is when we typically see the most popular homes, beachfront locations, and preferred travel dates begin filling up.
For snowbirds, this is also the perfect time to secure a longer stay. We have monthly and seasonal rental opportunities for travelers who want more than a week or two in paradise, including options and extended-stay rates that may not always appear online.
This month, we’re highlighting some fantastic choices for both shorter vacations and longer winter escapes.
Inside this edition:
- Bella Luna – One, two, and three-bedroom beachfront options in walkable West End.
- Top Ridge – Two and three-bedroom Sandy Bay retreats with private pools and Caribbean views.
- Angelfish 100 – A one-bedroom Lawson Rock retreat with special monthly snowbird rates.
- Guest Spotlight – A first-time Roatan visitor shares their Bella Luna experience.
- Seasonal & Long-Term Rentals – Monthly and extended-stay options, including rentals not always available online.
- Roatan International Fishing Tournament – Celebrating another successful tournament and West End Carnival.
Whether you’re planning a Christmas getaway, escaping the cold for January and February, or dreaming about spending the entire winter in the Caribbean, booking early gives you more choice of properties, locations, and dates.
Our experienced team can help you find the right rental and take care of the details that make your Roatan stay easier. If winter in Roatan sounds better than winter at home, now is the time to start planning.

Roatan International Fishing Tournament
Another Incredible Year
The 2026 Roatan International Fishing Tournament has wrapped up after another unforgettable celebration of fishing, island culture, and community.
Held September 10–13, the tournament is one of Roatan’s biggest annual events, bringing anglers and teams together for four days of competition on the beautiful waters surrounding the Bay Islands.
But tournament week is about much more than fishing. The event brings the island to life, with the West End Carnival, community activities, entertainment, celebrations, and visitors coming together from across Roatan and beyond. It’s a fantastic time to experience the energy and community spirit that make the island so special.
Congratulations to all the 2026 winners, anglers, teams, organizers, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this year’s tournament such a success.
Missed it this year? Put the Roatan International Fishing Tournament on your list for 2027 and turn your visit into a complete Roatan vacation.
Until next time—see you in 2027!

Guest Spotlight
First Time in Roatan
Right in the Heart of West End
For a first visit to Roatan, location can make all the difference. Bella Luna’s 2-bedroom Beach House puts you beachfront at Half Moon Bay, with the restaurants, dive shops, bars and atmosphere of West End right outside your door.
Here’s what one recent guest had to say:
“First time in Roatan and accidentally stumbled upon Roatan Vacation Rentals and I’m sure glad I did. Stayed in the Bella Luna 2 bedroom option in the West End Half Moon Bay. Beach front with all the amenities you could ask for. We wanted action and to be near scuba shop, restaurants and bars. That we were! Two restaurants right beside rental; Pure Vida with Gelato at back and Gingers.”
It’s exactly what makes staying in West End so appealing. Wake up beside the Caribbean, walk to your dive shop, head out for lunch or dinner, enjoy Half Moon Bay, and experience one of Roatan’s most popular areas without having to travel far.
For couples, friends or families who want to be close to the action while enjoying their own beachfront retreat.
Bella Luna is a fantastic way to experience West End.

Escape Winter
Stay a Little Longer in Roatan
Why trade the cold for just a week or two when you could make Roatan home for a month—or even the season?
For snowbirds looking for a longer Caribbean escape, we have a range of homes and condos that may be available for monthly and extended stays, often with special rates based on your dates and length of stay.
And some of our best longer-term opportunities never make it onto the website.
Instead of searching through individual properties, talk directly with our experienced reservations team. Tell us when you’d like to come, how long you want to stay, your preferred area, budget, and what matters most to you. We can then look at current availability and help find options that suit the way you want to spend your winter.
