Resort living, every day

Pristine Bay is a 405-acre gated resort community on Roatán’s north shore, just minutes from French Harbour. It is anchored by the Black Pearl, the island’s only golf course, an 18-hole championship layout of about 7,200 yards designed by Pete Dye.

Residents enjoy a private white-sand beach and a large beach club with pools and restaurants, tennis courts, a fitness and wellness center, and concierge services.

Homes range from resort villas to homes on the fairways and along the beach, with ocean views across the reef to Little and Big French Cay.

It is set back from the tourist corridor and secured by a staffed gate, so days feel calm and private, with French Harbour close by for errands and dining.

TODD'S TAKE
“[DRAFT – Todd to approve or rewrite] Pristine Bay is the closest thing on Roatán to a full-service resort you can own in. If you golf, there is nowhere else on the island. The amenities and the gate are what you are paying for, and for the right buyer they are worth it.”
