Añoranza Casita 1 + Plunge Pool
🌴 Casita 1 at Añoranza — Your Private Oceanfront Escape
Finished in May 2021, Casita 1 is where laid-back Caribbean living meets just the right amount of comfort. Designed for privacy, relaxation, and unforgettable views, this oceanfront retreat is perfect for couples—or can be paired with our Villa and/or Casita 2 and 3 if your group needs more space.
If you’re looking for a true island experience, you’re in the right place. If you’re looking for beach clubs and nightlife like Cabo San Lucas or Tulum… this isn’t that. Here, it’s flip flops, swimsuits, and slowing all the way down.
🌊 The Casita
Casita 1 sits just steps from the Villa and offers an open, airy layout with everything you need to settle into island time:
King bed + living area + full kitchen
Gas range, dishwasher, fridge, coffee maker, blender, and all essentials
Clean, filtered water throughout (UV system + reverse osmosis at the sink)
The living room features a custom couch (perfect for lounging or an extra nap spot), Smart TV with Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+, plus a Sonos speaker for your island playlist (Spotify works best here).
🚿 Little Luxuries
Two-person shower with a view (yes, it’s as good as it sounds)
Double vanity bathroom
Washer & dryer (just bring detergent or grab some at the grocery store on the way in)
☀️ Outdoor Living (Your Favorite Spot)
Slide open the doors and step onto your oversized patio with seating, a table, and a hammock that practically guarantees an afternoon nap.
And then there’s the highlight:
👉 Your private plunge pool—perfect for morning coffee, mid-day dips, or sunset cocktails.
🚤 Ocean Access & Adventure
A scenic stairway winds down through the trees (with a few perfect “pause and take it in” spots) to the water:
Crystal-clear Caribbean access + private dock
Great snorkeling right off the dock
Complimentary kayaks to explore the reef, mangroves, or paddle to Punta Gorda
Paddle boards available for rent
🌴 The Añoranza Vibe
This is the quiet, authentic east side of Roatán—no crowds, no nightlife, no walkable restaurants.
👉 Kayak or drive 5 minutes to Punta Gorda or Oakridge for local food
👉 Stay in and cook—or have Dalia, your private chef, handle everything
Dress code? Swimsuits, cover-ups, and flip flops. That’s it.
🤝 Concierge & Services
Matt and Dalia are here to make your stay effortless:
Excursions, dining, car rentals, babysitting
Private chef services (one meal or your entire stay)
Airport pickup available
Dalia lives on property, so help is always nearby—while your privacy is always respected.

We had an amazing stay at Anoranza! The pictures really don’t do this place justice…the house, property and view are gorgeous and definitely surpassed our expectations! Everything was spotless upon our arrival and the house was equipped with everything we needed. Robert was there to greet us and answered all of our questions along the way. We had Dalia cook for us a few times throughout our stay and all the food she prepared for us was exceptional!
I will say that Anoranza is off the beaten path on the quieter east side of the island, so you definitely need to rent a car if you plan on staying here and venturing out to do things, but there are lots of amazing activities to do and great little restaurants within a 20 minute drive and it is a really great way to explore all the island has to offer.
If you’re thinking about going to Roatan, definitely go and stay at Anoranza! Whether you stay in the main villa or the little casita, both are truly spectacular and you won’t regret it!
My husband and I stayed in the casita for a babymoon and had the most amazing time! The owners are so nice, the property is immaculate and Robert the host was responsive and very helpful! Things to consider; this property is on a hill in order to have this beautiful view so there are a LOT of stairs. But if you make the trek down to the water, which is even more stairs, there are little landings right where a pregnant momma needed them! We went during off season so the whole island felt quiet and peaceful. Lots of restaurants are closed during off season so you will want to be patient finding one or get some kind of groceries/snacks or take the host's up on their offer for a private chef to come cook for you for a fee. Once you book you'll get an extremely thorough and super helpful email from the owners. We can't wait to go back and stay longer. Maybe next time we'll bring some friends and stay in the villa 😍
