Welcome! Paya Bay is a charming, secluded beach and full-service dive resort of enchanting natural beauty. We are located on Roatan, one of the Bay Islands of Honduras in the Western Caribbean. Come enjoy our isolated beaches, virgin reefs, and exuberant rainforest!
Legend has it that when Christopher Columbus visited the Bay Islands in the 15th Century, he and his crew were welcomed by the indigenous inhabitants of the islands, the Paya Indians. The bounty of the Caribbean and of the islands' forests allowed these peaceful islanders to lead a hunting and gathering lifestyle. They were also involved in active trade with the Mayas and other tribes on what is now the Honduran mainland. The Payas collected sting-ray barbs and mother of pearl shells to exchange for cocoa and corn from the mainland.
The Payas were also excellent artisans, carving exquisitely detailed jewelry from jade and other semi-precious stones available locally. Today, there are still numerous sites around the islands where remnants of the Payas' pottery and jewelry, known locally as "yaba-ding-ding," can be found. In honor of these nature-embracing, fun-loving, and happy people we have adopted the amulet of a Payan necklace as Paya Bay's logo. It is their carefree and happy existence which we strive to recreate at Paya Bay Resort.
Built atop a cliff overlooking two beautiful half-moon bays, at Paya Bay your surrounded by breath-taking scenery. Two pristine beaches are right down the slope from your room and the Great Mayan Barrier Reef (the second largest reef system on the planet) is a mere 100 yards away! Paya Bay is the perfect vacation spot for the scuba diving aficionado, the fisherman who wants to hit the flats for exciting game fishing, or for the person who just wants to unwind, relax, and re-energize in a very beautiful, tranquil place.
We are Roatan's friendliest little boutique resort. Our restaurant and rooms are nestled among a forest of sea palms and seagrape trees, atop one of the highest cliffs on the island. The views in all directions are spectacular. Guests have access to two beaches right down the slope from their rooms. A mostly unexplored section of the Great Mayan Reef (the second largest barrier reef on the planet) is less than a 100 yards away!
Our restaurant's menu features a variety of sea foods (fish, shrimp, lobster, and conch) prepared using delicious island recipes. Delightful beef, pork, and poultry dishes are also available. Your selection can be accompanied by one of our many delicious tropical blender drinks, fine wine, or one of the local Honduran brews.
