The Roatan Fire Show performs three nights a week on the beaches of West Bay: Wednesday at 8:00 pm at Mayan Princess, Friday at 7:00 pm at Infinity Bay and Sunday at 6:00 pm at Bananarama. Each show lasts about 25 minutes, with 9 to 10 fire acts by Ronis Villeda and Evlyn Ramos.
When the sun goes down over West Bay, the sand turns dark, the music starts and the first flame lights up the beach. If you are staying on Roatán, it is one of the island's nights you will remember long after the tan fades.
The weekly schedule
- Wednesday, 8:00 pm — Mayan Princess, West Bay

What happens during the show?
Each act uses a different fire technique: fire staff, fire fans with five flaming fingers, fire whip, fire hat, juggling balls, triple poi, fire chain, fire umbrella and fire hula hoop. The performers work on the sand, a few steps from the audience, so families, couples and groups of friends can watch from their table or standing barefoot on the beach.
Who are the performers?
Ronis Villeda started working with the Canadian artist Paul Abel in 2007, trained with fire from 2008 and, together with his wife Evlyn, took over the show in 2021. Today they are the team behind the Roatan Fire Show, and Ronis also runs private tours of the island and custom sand sculptures.
