Discover the Pure Caribbean

retreat to Roatan's east end

Welcome To

Windward Cottages

two distinctive Roatan vacation homes

Windward Cottages are a pair of unique vacation rental properties located on the secluded East end of Roatan in the Bay Islands of Honduras — Bentley’s Hill Plantation in Helene (Santa Elena) & Caulfield’s Cottage in Camp Bay.

Yes, our lodgings are certainly comfortable and well-appointed. Yet you’ll discover they’re much more than simply another option for accommodations on the island.

Windward Cottages are an experience.

Because the settings for these homes have been selected with intention to immerse you within the wild splendour of our natural landscape, and to bring you into connection with our islands’ old and authentic way of living.

An Extraordinary experience

Trust us, this is not your typical Caribbean vacation. It’s not even your typical Roatan vacation.

Windward Cottages invites you to an insiders’ view of our island — to places where you’ll discover some of Roatan’s most breathtaking scenery, the richness of island culture, and countless opportunities for adventure.

A stay at Bentley’s Hill Plantation is a Caribbean vacation experience assuredly unto itself.

Nestled in a forest clearing atop a hill overlooking Bentley Bay on Helene — Roatan’s furthermost terrain to the east — the setting for this inviting one-bedroom cottage can only be described as idyllic.

Truly remote and enveloped in the sights and sounds of nature, you’ll be beckoned to explore the virtually-untouched landscape (above and below the surface of the Caribbean Sea), and find yourself drawn into the seductive simplicity of true island living … of course not forsaking a few modern comforts such as Wi-Fi and high-quality linens.

“The islands possess a more pure & exquisite beauty in the places few are fortunate to see.

— Windward Cottages

Built around a freshwater dipping pool and fringed by the natural foliage behind Camp Bay’s postcard-worthy beach, Caulfield’s Cottage is a lovely two-bedroom pod-style retreat. 

You’ll find yourself just steps from where powdery white sand meets sparkling aquamarine surf, relishing dreamy days spent under the shade of gently swaying coconut trees and in the waters of the Caribbean Sea. 

The essence of adventure takes the form of hiking, scuba diving, and kitesurfing, while the essence of local culture is found in a warm island community — all in convenient proximity.
