Añoranza 3 BDRM: 2 Bedroom Villa + Casita 2

The owners, Shelby and Sean, are glad you found Añoranza and look forward to sharing the Añoranza experience with you.

To the owners, Añoranza means stop longing for your dreams and make them happen. Shelby and Sean enjoy beach destinations and traveling the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico. Many times, while they were on vacation, they found themselves saying, "I wish we could share this spot with friends and family." The desire to share an amazing place with family and friends is what started their journey through Central America to find the perfect location to build their dream home.

In 2015, they traveled to Roatán after Shelby suggested checking it out because she loved it when she visited on a cruise 10 years before.

As soon as they stepped onto the lot at Punta Blanca and saw the view that would eventually turn into Añoranza's, they knew this was where their dream would come true.

They purchased the lot at the end of 2015 and after working with a local architect for over a year on the design of Añoranza, their dream came to life July 2017 when they started construction on the 3-bedroom Owner's Retreat. It took about 1.5 years to finish the construction but in Feb 2019, the Owner's Retreat was finished.

Shelby and Sean are very proud of how Añoranza turned out and can't wait to have guests enjoy all that Añoranza and Roatán have to offer. They want guests to feel at home and long to return to Añoranza.

Please enjoy Añoranza and respect their dream they worked so hard to achieve.

People always ask us, "Why Roatan?". We looked at Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, Panama and Roatán before we decided where our dream would be born. When you see the view, you will know why we chose the quiet community of Punta Blanca.
