OCEAN ROYAL
Sustainable Luxury in Roatán
A thoughtfully planned, eco-smart residential community in Sandy Bay, Bay Islands, Honduras.
A community designed around the sea, never over it.
Ocean Royal is strategically located in Sandy Bay, one of Roatán's most desirable and well-established communities, known for its strong residential character, accessibility, and long-term growth potential.
The project is planned as a two-stage community of 71 residences: two-, three- and four-bedroom homes, two-bedroom condominiums and executive suites. Each residence follows a repeatable eco-smart architectural model that prioritizes efficiency, sustainability and timeless tropical living.
From raw ridge to realized vision
Two decades of building, rooted in Roatán.
DBL S.A. was founded in 2006 as the vehicle through which its partners develop real estate in Roatán, chosen for its investment conditions, security and climate. The partners bring more than 40 years of construction experience in Seattle, Washington. Developer Dirk Washington has developed and sold more than 60 homes as owner and developer, and his framing company, WSDS, Inc., has framed more than 1,000.
Ocean Royal advances the company's Eco-Life philosophy, where sustainability, durability and modern living coexist without compromise. It is designed to protect the fragile marine ecosystem and coral reef through low-impact construction, efficient resource use, and long-term environmental stewardship.
The hard work is already done.
Land, planning, design and the first site works are complete: a development-ready foundation in place before the first residence rises.
Construction commenced in 2023.
Completed to date, establishing the backbone of the community:
We elevated the architectural vision.
A sales and marketing office (Lot 5) was completed to support on-site operations and early activity. During this phase, a traditional Caribbean architectural style proved cost-inefficient and higher-maintenance, out of step with the project's long-term quality standards.
The team made a strategic decision to elevate the architectural vision, aligning every residence with Ocean Royal's standards for quality, efficiency, sustainability, and long-term value.
A curated collection for timeless tropical living
Eco-smart residences for the future of living.
Reliable power, intelligent building systems, water reuse technologies and sustainable construction practices create resilient Caribbean residences with lower operating costs and enhanced long-term value.
One of the Caribbean's most beloved islands.
Set on the Bay Islands of Roatán, in the established, sought-after community of Sandy Bay, Ocean Royal offers a balanced mix of tranquility, convenience, and proximity to the island's key destinations.
Roatán is ringed by one of the world's great coral reef systems and was ranked the 3rd safest of 52 cruise destinations by Forbes in 2025.
An island on the rise.
Visitors to Roatán have more than doubled in three years, and public and private investment is following them.
