Things to do At Anthony’s Key Resort
LEARN TO DIVE
We offer any combination of Scuba courses desired to meet your personalized training needs and schedule — from Discover Scuba to Instructor! Additionally, as a PADI Career Development Center, we offer vocational-oriented and continuing education training, preparing individuals for dive industry careers.
Swim With Dolphins
Dolphins seem to top just about everyone’s “favorite animal” list, and it’s no wonder— these gentle mammals are friendly and intelligent and are known for their agility and playful behavior! While in Roatan, you’ll have the rare opportunity to interact with Atlantic Bottlenose Dolphins in a natural sea-water environment.
KAYAK
The waters inside the resort’s lagoon are calm most days of the year, and kayaking is a great way to spend an afternoon after diving or snorkeling. Explore the resort with a leisurely paddle in the lagoon, or head over to Bailey’s Key for some time on a cozy beach.
STAND-UP PADDLE
Try an above-the-water sport at Anthony’s Key with Stand-up Paddleboarding, or ‘SUP’ for short. This fun way to enjoy the ocean allows you to glide across the water on large surf-style boards and long paddles to enjoy a 360-degree view only achieved while standing upright.
Kayaks and stand-up paddle boards are included in all stays at Anthony’s Key Resort and can be used during daylight hours.
Explore BAILEY’S KEY
Explore quaint Bailey’s Key, a prime spot for snorkeling along its serene western shores. Dive into a unique encounter at our dolphin lagoon, home to friendly and intelligent dolphins. Freshwater showers, changing facilities, and restrooms are centrally located for your comfort.
Enjoy OUr Fresh-water Swimming Pool
At the center of Anthony’s Key is our 30′ x 60′ in-ground swimming pool, hidden among towering palms and a short walk from stilted bungalows on the perimeter of the secluded eight-acre island. The four-foot-deep freshwater pool is perfect for swimming laps or relaxing after a day’s adventure. Sit and soak in the pool’s built-in perimeter seating or lounge chairs at the pool’s edge.

The spa features two massage rooms, a facial room, and a nail-care lounge dedicated to spa pedicures and manicures.
