Kimpton Grand Roatán Resort and Spa, nestled on the picturesque West Bay Beach of Roatán Island with premiere access to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, is proud to welcome guests as of October 10, 2023, officially. An island retreat like no other, this Caribbean gem offers 119 luxuriously appointed guest rooms, suites, and condos; four inviting restaurants and bars, a state-of-the-art spa, nearly 6,000 square feet of meeting and events spaces and immersive guest experiences full of indulgence; relaxation and exciting adventure.
“We are thrilled to introduce Kimpton Grand Roatán Resort and Spa to this incredible island paradise,” said General Manager Carlos Lopez, Kimpton Grand Roatán Resort and Spa.
“Our team is dedicated to providing an unforgettable guest experience that celebrates the natural beauty, culture, and warmth of Roatán. We look forward to being a cherished part of the destination’s vibrant tapestry and creating memories for both locals and global visitors alike.”
Easygoing sophistication and rich contrast are at the forefront of Kimpton Grand Roatán’s design ethos. While Caribbean-based Lane Pettigrew Associates was tapped as the resort’s architects, the interiors were spearheaded by California-based Theresa Fatino Design in collaboration with the Kimpton Design team. Every space is thoughtfully curated to blend high design with artisan touches, with an overarching goal to celebrate the craftsmanship of Roatán; the resort highlights art and furniture pieces crafted on the island and in nearby communities.
Upon arrival, travellers are instantly immersed in the island's natural wonders, wandering the labyrinth of paths leading to the entrance of Kimpton Grand Roatán Resort and Spa. Once guests walk through the doors, they are greeted with an open-air concept lobby with straight-through views of the lush jungle and sparkling ocean waters creating an impactful sense of arrival.
The 119 stylish guest rooms with west-facing sunset views include specialty suites with private balcony plunge pools and standalone bungalows complete with private outdoor showers, serving as luxury sanctuaries featuring colour palettes inspired by Roatán’s flora and fauna with touches of deep oranges and warm wooden finishes. Hand-woven lamp shades crafted in Mexico adorn each guest room, along with accents from local artists. Among the specialty suites are the Spa Suites, which invoke pure bliss, complete with an outdoor shower and a separate soaking tub for peak relaxation while the Presidential Suite, located on the top floor of the main building, touts a living and dining room, kitchen area and an oceanfront terrace with a private plunge pool.
For travellers seeking a more spacious, secluded retreat, standalone bungalows are available, offering canopy or resort views. Each bungalow features multi-level accommodation with a plush King bed, a living area with a pull-out sofa, a private outdoor shower and a stunning modern design that channels the tranquillity of island life.
Located in the Western Caribbean, Kimpton Grand Roatán feels far enough for adventure but is easy to reach with select airlines flying from major US cities straight to Roatán, along with multiple 40-minute daily flights from Ramon Villeda Morales International Airport in Honduras’ capital to Juan Manuel Gálvez International Airport on Roatán.
