Discover your own slice of paradise at Coral Beach Retreat in First Bight, Roatan. This bright and breezy four-bedroom beachfront home blends laid-back Caribbean charm with modern comfort, offering sweeping ocean views, cooling sea breezes, and a rare luxury in this part of the island: a spacious private sandy beach. Snorkel just steps from your door, kayak along the coastline, or lounge in the infinity pool with the Caribbean Sea stretching out before you.
THE SPACE
The open-concept main level is designed for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Vaulted ceilings, warm wood finishes, and sliding doors flood the space with natural light and open directly onto a spacious wraparound deck. With ample outdoor seating and views that never get old, the deck is ideal for morning coffee with the sunrise over the sea, or evening cocktails with the sound of waves. A shaded outdoor dining area and BBQ make it just as inviting for long lunches as it is for grilled dinners with friends and family. This is island living at its best.
Inside, the fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops and a breakfast bar, perfect for everything from a quick island-style breakfast to a full home-cooked meal. The master suite, also on the upper level, is a peaceful retreat with an en-suite bath and incredible ocean views.
On the lower level, three additional bedrooms offer a quiet escape. Two feature double beds, and one includes a queen bed with its own en-suite bathroom—ideal for families or groups traveling together. A second full bathroom, kitchenette, and laundry area on the lower floor add convenience and privacy for longer stays.
But it’s the outdoor spaces that truly set Coral Beach Retreat apart. The private sandy beach is a sun-warmed sanctuary, complete with a shaded palapa and hammocks for lazy afternoons. Snorkeling and kayaking are excellent when sea conditions allow, with vibrant marine life just offshore. The property also includes the lush adjacent lot, with walking paths winding through tropical foliage, offering even more space to relax, explore, and reconnect with nature.
Though Coral Beach Retreat feels wonderfully secluded, you're just a short drive from French Harbour's restaurants, grocery stores, and island adventures. Ideal as both a peaceful escape and the perfect spot to connect with loved ones, this tropical retreat offers the best of Roatan—comfort, charm, and that undeniable magic of the Caribbean.

THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Coral Beach Retreat is located in lower First Bight, a quiet, residential area on Roatan’s south shore, a little east of French Harbour. It’s a peaceful part of the island that feels off the beaten path—perfect for travelers looking to relax in nature and escape the crowds.
As the neighborhood enjoys steady trade winds, First Bight isn’t known for calm, glassy waters, but on clear days the snorkeling can be spectacular, and the open sea views are always stunning. It’s a great place to soak up the natural beauty of Roatan and watch the colors of the sea change throughout the day.
Despite its tranquil setting, Coral Beach Retreat is only a 15-minute drive to French Harbour, where you’ll find grocery stores, banks, and pharmacies, as well as a handful of restaurants and attractions.
Getting Around
Complimentary onsite parking is available, and a rental vehicle is recommended if you plan to venture out to explore the island. Most of Coco Road (aka. First Bight Road) is unpaved, so while it's possible to drive the road in a small car, most of our guests prefer having a larger vehicle. During our rainy season, 4-wheel drive is strongly recommended.
