Spend a weekend playing jet-setter this winter
Roatan
A tropical winter weekend can be had in up-and-coming Roatan, the largest of the Bay Islands off the coast of Honduras. Wild parrots, iguanas, and monkeys roam freely among the lush countryside and mountainous spine, while the clear, turquoise waters and the surrounding reef make for an unmatched underwater experience; expect to see shipwrecks, sea turtles, dolphins, and whales when diving offshore. There are no fancy high-rise hotels, malls, or golf courses here – just miles of unspoiled beaches and tropical landscapes.
How: Fly direct to Roatan from several US cities including Atlanta (Delta; about 3 hours), Houston (Continental, Taca; less than 3 hours); and Miami (Continental, Taca; about 2 hours).
