Getting to Roatan is easier than you think

June 19, 2024

Visiting paradise is a breeze


One of the biggest hurdles we hear from American tourists interested in visiting Roatan is how difficult it is to get to the island. Honestly, that’s simple conjecture. 


It’s
easier now than ever before to fly to Roatan from the U.S. What’s more, it’s very affordable. 


Daily air service continues to improve


Every day, both
American Airlines (via Miami) and United Airlines (from Houston) have flights to Juan Manuel Galvez International Airport in Coxen Hole. And, starting this coming winter, Delta Airlines, which now flies only to Roatan on Saturdays, will start daily service from Atlanta


But those flights must be really pricey, right?
Absolutely not. 


Depending on when you book and when you travel, you can
fly to Roatan for as little as $310, round-trip. And that price isn’t just from hubs like Miami, Houston or Atlanta. No matter where you live in the U.S., if you have access to a reasonably sized airport, you can get to Roatan for a price that might surprise you.


Sure, you might have to stay overnight in Houston, Atlanta or Miami, but that’s a small price to pay for a chance to visit one of the Caribbean’s up-and-coming destinations. 




It’s a direct flight


The best part of traveling to Roatan? You can fly directly to Coxen Hole on the West End from the above-mentioned American airport hubs —
there’s no need to fly to the Honduran mainland. And, from the international airport in Coxen Hole, you’re a scenic 45-minute van ride to Roatan’s super-chill East End, and, of course, to the homey confines of Ocean Breeze Villa. All of our fishing, diving and experiential packages include a complimentary shuttle to the Villa — no need to hail a cab or futz with an Uber or Lyft. 


That said, if you wanted to experience other areas of Honduras, daily flights from the U.S. are also available to La Ceiba on the northern coast. Then, when you’re ready to visit Roatan, you’re a
very affordable ferry ride away. The price of a one-way ticket from La Ceiba to Roatan is $27 for adults, $15 for kids and $21 for adults.



Come see for yourself


While all of Roatan is welcoming and beautiful, we invite you to come and be a part of our unique East End community. Here, life moves at a wonderfully relaxed pace, where
doing what you want, when you want is the order of the day. 


From our beautiful Villa or our cozy, out-of-the-way Guesthouse, you can leave the manic “touristy” spots behind and take in the best of Roatan on your schedule. 


And, now that you know just how easy it is to get here, what are you waiting for?
Come see us. We’d love to have you.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Roatán?
By Chris McBride February 25, 2026
When planning a vacation to Roatán, one of the biggest decisions you’ll make is where to stay. Should you book a large all-inclusive resort or choose a smaller, boutique villa experience? While big resorts may seem convenient, many travelers are discovering that staying at a boutique villa offers a more relaxed, personal, and authentic way to experience the island. Here’s why. 1. Peace and Privacy Matter Large resorts often mean: Crowded pools Buffet lines Busy beach areas Loud entertainment schedules If you’re traveling to Roatán to relax, constant noise and crowds can take away from the experience. A boutique villa like Ocean Breeze Villa offers something different — a quiet atmosphere, fewer guests, and space to truly unwind. Instead of competing for lounge chairs, you enjoy calm surroundings and uninterrupted ocean views.
