This month's spotlight focuses on Utopia Village Resort on Utila in Honduras's Bay Islands. Utopia Village and Utila was the setting for filming of "Into the Drink" this past May. Look for this episode next year.

Utopia Village is an “off the beaten path vacation retreat”. It is remote, it is casual, it is friendly, it is beautifully designed and it is adventure set in unchoreographed natural surroundings. The hotel is built on the edge of an abundant reef, a twenty-minute boat ride from the nearest and only town on the tiny island of Utila, off the coast of Honduras. There are no roads at Utopia, no fast food joints and no nightclubs. The nightlife includes the grass thatched beach bar with sounds of the ocean rolling in, footsteps crackling down the coral paths and the rustle of palm leaves in the breeze.

The biggest focus is on personal service. If you desire a vacation where you feel like a welcomed guest in someone’s home, then Utopia Village is for you. Many of the owners live on site and oversee the hotel, dive and spa operations. Utopia’s staff is friendly, outgoing and eager to make your stay the best it can be. Utopia’s number one motto is “You arrive as guests and leave as friends!”

Utopia’s greatest, natural asset is the house reef in front of the property. Divers and snorkelers alike will truly appreciate the giant Stag Horn and Elkhorn coral and the waters teaming with colorful Caribbean fish. The goal was to create a dive destination that would offer some pleasant and welcomed surprises. Full service dive amenities are available plus four-star meals served at your table, spacious rooms with custom built furniture and bedding and a spa perfect for a relaxing massage after a long week of diving.
