Indura Beach & Golf Resort, Curio by Hilton - Luxury Resort in Tela, Honduras

About Indura Beach & Golf Resort

Indura Beach & Golf Resort, Curio Collection by Hilton, is Honduras's premier five-star resort and the only internationally branded luxury property on the country's Caribbean mainland coast. Located on the pristine shores of Tela Bay, Indura represents a new standard of hospitality in Honduras, combining world-class amenities with the untouched natural beauty of the Caribbean coast.

The resort features a Gary Player-designed 18-hole championship golf course, a sprawling beach club, a full-service spa, multiple swimming pools, and several dining venues—all set against the backdrop of coconut palms, white sand beaches, and the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea. As part of Hilton's Curio Collection, Indura maintains the high service standards expected of a global luxury brand while retaining a distinct Honduran character.

Indura Beach & Golf Resort has quickly become the destination of choice for discerning travelers seeking a luxury Caribbean experience off the beaten path. While Caribbean islands like Roatán draw the majority of Honduras's beach tourists, Tela Bay offers a mainland alternative with its own distinct charm—vast empty beaches, nearby national parks, and Garífuna cultural villages that provide an authentic cultural dimension not found at typical resort destinations.

Location

Indura Beach & Golf Resort is situated on Tela Bay along Honduras's northern Caribbean coast, approximately 90 kilometers east of San Pedro Sula. The resort occupies a prime beachfront position with panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and the lush Nombre de Dios mountain range in the background.

The nearest major airport is Ramón Villeda Morales International Airport (SAP) in San Pedro Sula, approximately a 90-minute drive on a well-maintained highway. The resort offers luxury transportation services from the airport for a premium experience from the moment you arrive in Honduras.

Tela itself is a small coastal city with a rich Garífuna cultural heritage. The town center is about 15 minutes from the resort and features colorful buildings, local seafood restaurants, and a laid-back Caribbean atmosphere. The area is also the gateway to two of Honduras's most important national parks:

Lancetilla Botanical Garden: The second-largest tropical botanical garden in the world, located just 5 kilometers from the resort. It houses over 1,500 plant species from across the tropics and is a paradise for birdwatchers.

Punta Sal (Jeanette Kawas) National Park: A spectacular coastal park with mangroves, coral reefs, and pristine beaches accessible by boat from Tela.

For travelers exploring Honduras beyond Tela, the resort makes an excellent complement to a stay at The Lodge at Pico Bonito in La Ceiba or the island resorts of Roatán.
