The destinations that were once easily accessible from Cayman’s Owen Roberts International Airport are once again part of the Island’s flight schedule!

In August 2022, the Cayman Islands Government fully opened the borders to commercial travel and removed all travel-related COVID-19 restrictions. This means that all travellers are now able to come to the Islands without having to quarantine or be vaccinated, and travellers will no longer be required to obtain permission from Travel Cayman to enter the Islands. It is hoped that the removal of the Travel Cayman authorisation process will lead to a favourable travel booking process and, subsequently, increase bookings.

As the Cayman Islands welcomes tourists back to its shores, many airlines have reintroduced Cayman to their flight schedules. You can now fly non-stop to 17 cities, including the Sister Islands. Cayman Airways, our national flag carrier, has resumed commercial flights to their eight previous destinations and will now be flying direct, and non-stop, to Los Angeles, California (LAX). Other airlines, such as Air Canada, American Airlines, British Airways, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, United Airlines and WestJet, have also resumed their previous flight schedules. In March 2022, cruise ships were also given the go-ahead to resume calling on the Cayman Islands.

Please keep in mind that other countries are all responding to the pandemic with their own travel restrictions and may restrict travel, both inbound and outbound, without any advance notice.

GRAND CAYMAN Locals and residents have been taking advantage of the incredible holiday destination right at their doorsteps. Staycations have grown in popularity, and there are a variety of options available across Grand Cayman and the Sister Islands, which appeal to all budgets and tastes and allow you to fully enjoy everything the Cayman Islands’ diverse, local culture has to offer.

People who find the Cayman Resident magazine and website really useful.

Eran Stysis

I recently escaped the freezing Canadian winters to join KPMG in the Cayman Islands, moving here in January 2022. The Cayman Resident was a valuable tool in my relocation, alongside my very helpful colleagues at KPMG, who helped ensure my move was as smooth as possible. The Cayman Resident is a very comprehensive guide and it provided me valuable information around accommodation, relocating with pets, restaurant recommendations and lots more. I now work with some of the world’s most impactful, traditional and alternative asset managers, all while living on this incredible island. I spend my down-time discovering Cayman’s hidden gems, walking my puppy on the beach and enjoying the flavours of the undisputed culinary capital of the Caribbean. Eran Stysis is a Senior Tax Associate at KPMG.

Catherine Kenny

I moved to Cayman with my husband just over five years ago and prior to arriving on-Island we found the online Cayman Resident magazine invaluable. We researched the cost of living with scenarios for couples, including expected rental prices and household expenses. When we adopted our dog the Cayman Resident magazine was useful for gathering information regarding vets, pet grooming, pet sitting and local stores. The sister magazine, Cayman Parent, became a new go-to as we entered the world of parenting. During the pandemic, where travel was limited, we shipped all sorts from the USA to Cayman as we furnished our new home. We found the Cayman Resident once again so beneficial with step-by-step information and instructions for customs clearance and freight forwarding companies. We find Cayman Resident a wealth of knowledge and always keep an up-to-date copy at home for our visiting family members to peruse. Catherine Kenny is a Teacher and Leader at Footsteps School specialising in English and Outdoor Learning.

Jamie Marks

I moved from the UK to the Cayman Islands with my partner in November 2021. The ‘Moving’ section on the Cayman Resident website was really helpful when planning the move, with up-to-date information on COVID-19 entry requirements and the cost of living being particularly useful. Once we had arrived, Cayman Resident was a great guide to setting up life on the Island. It helped in all manner of ways, from administration such as applying for a driving license to choosing the right neighbourhood and finding things to do. Cayman Resident is always our go-to source of information for Island life. Jamie Marks is an Audit Supervisor at KPMG.

Luisa Roberts

I was born and raised on Grand Cayman so I feel that I am quite knowledgeable about all things Cayman but when I became a Recruiter I realised that I needed an easy and accessible way to share this knowledge with my candidates. The Cayman Resident is the perfect resource for this! While I work mostly with on-island candidates I do often have candidates relocating or returning to Cayman. The Cayman Resident provides a comprehensive look at life in the Cayman Islands and answers most of my candidates’ questions before they even need to ask them. The link to the Cayman Resident website is included in my initial email to every offisland candidate so that they can really get a feel for what Cayman is like before starting the recruitment process. Candidates always comment on how helpful the Cayman Resident is and how it eases their transition to Island life. The Cayman Resident is an invaluable resource and I would recommend it to newcomers, visitors, and even people like me who might think they know everything there is to know about Cayman already! Luisa Roberts is a Recruiter at Stepping Stones.

April Vlahakis

Being an avid reader and having read History at the University of Oxford before doing my Masters in Educational Leadership at Warwick University, I was enthralled to read about Cayman’s history in Cayman Resident and knew that these beautiful islands would be an interesting and enriching part of the next chapter of my career. Having taught and lived in both China and Japan, as well as in the UK for the past seven years, I loved reading up on the cultural dos and don’ts in the Cayman Resident, and I know I will love the Islands’ ethos of Caymankindness. I have had such a wonderful welcome from CPHS staff and parents so far and look forward to meeting people in the wider community, going to church, and learning more about the Cayman Islands. April Vlahakis is Head of Pastoral Care and Student Services and is an English teacher at Cayman Prep & High School.

Kevin Falvey

After securing a job offer in February 2022, I exhausted the Cayman Resident website and magazine for all the essential information needed to set up life in Grand Cayman. This included everything from deciding where to live to setting up a personal bank account. After living on the Island for close to a year, I still find this resource incredibly helpful for all sorts of things, including hurricane supply checklists and contact information for professional services. When searching for anything Cayman Islands-related, this is always my first stop. Kevin Falvey is part of the Investor Services team in one of the top fund administrators on-Island.
