Utila

Utila is one of Honduras's Coastal towns, a chain of islands stretching from the mainland to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef. Although it is not as well-known as its larger neighbor Roatan, Utila is a relaxed haven for divers, snorkelers, and beachgoers. Discover everything there is to do in Utila, Honduras, and how to make it your next Caribbean vacation destination. Many are "expats" from the United States, Canada, and Europe who came to visit and decided to stay!

The town of Utila is most active on the island's southeast side, where it wraps around a calm bay and harbor. The main street of Utila Town is lined with colorful hotels, restaurants, and scuba schools, with just enough room for strolling pedestrians as well as the motos and tuk-tuk taxis that circulate the island. Because of the reasonable prices of certification schools and the variety of dive sites, Utila is a popular place to learn to scuba dive. If you're not a diver, there's plenty to enjoy here, from beaches and deserted island day trips to Utila's legendary party scene. Utila is considered as one of the Most Beautiful Coastal Towns in Honduras.
