The villa at Dunbar Rock is one of the Caribbean's most unique dive
resorts; truly one of a kind. It is so well known and unusual that it's
featured in the Government of Honduras’ tourism advertisements and on
its own postcard.
Dunbar Villa operates as a well known dive resort, with excellent diving and
fishing right off the dock. The coral reef is 100% private and the island lends
itself to the intimacy of a private island. Dunbar Rock is ideal for those who
want to enjoy a private island holiday, yet want to be close to a major airport
and all amenities.
This beautiful historical landmark was once used as a mooring for the famous
pirate Blackbeard. Local legend has it that there is buried treasure on the
island. When the owner was constructing the villas, he discovered a hidden cave
on the island. He found many pieces of pre-Colombian pottery, but sadly no
treasure.
The island has a small oak forest that provides shade from the heat of the
day. The garden is picturesque. The island is incredibly easy to access - only
10 minutes by boat from Guanaja Airport. The airport is 2 hours, via direct
flight, from Houston, Texas. The flight path for the airport is on the other
side of the island, so the island remains quiet and peaceful.
The Villa
Dunbar Rock’s Villa has spectacular ocean views unique anywhere in the
Bay Islands. The villa is perched atop a 30-foot-high rock pinnacle in the
middle of Sandy Bay, barely 500 metres from the end of the main island’s dock.
The bedrooms are so close to the ocean that you can literally fish out your
front window, if you wish.
Delight in snorkelling or fishing off the dock. Or maybe just enjoy watching
the exotic sea life from your balcony. During the evening, relax in the large
living area, have a drink at the bar, listen to music, watch a movie, or simply
soak in the stunning sunset from the observation deck. The Villa on Dunbar Rock
offers privacy and majestic views of Caribbean. Because the cay is made out of
rock, there are no pesky sand flies or mosquitoes.
The Villa stands three stories high and boasts 4 spacious, comfortably
furnished guest suites with private balconies and baths. The structure is made
of hardwood and specially treated cement to withstand the salt air. The Villa
took 2½ years to build because of the terrain's difficulty. Extra care and great
attention to detail was taken to build it.
