CAYMAN ISLANDS

Discover white sandy beaches, spectacular wildlife, a diverse culinary scene and thrilling adventures in Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac

HOTELS AND VILLAS

The three Cayman Islands offer visitors accommodation to suit all, from luxurious resorts and smaller boutique-styled hotels to self-catering villas and dive lodges – and all within easy reach of white-sand beaches and the turquoise Caribbean Sea.

Alternatively, spacious villas and condos offer a high standard of self-catering facilities. But for that ultimate relaxation choose a private chef to create delicious locally inspired dishes or book a beachside private yoga session. Luxurious beachfront hotels offer relaxing spa and wellness plus watersports and diving.

BEAUTIFUL BEACHES

Although famed for beautiful Seven Mile Beach, other small beaches and coves are dotted around the Cayman Islands.

Head for Smith’s Barcadere, close to George Town, for snorkelling, swimming and lunch under shady trees. Or chill at laid-back Rum Point on the North Side. Kayak or snorkel before enjoying a plate of crispy calamari or jerk chicken. Relax in a hammock and sip a Mudslide cocktail.

To the south is Spotts Beach, often deserted and home to green sea turtles.

ADVENTURES CULINARY DELIGHTS

Cayman’s crystal-clear waters offer the thrill of adventure – from sailing, snorkelling and night-time bioluminescence kayak tours to kite-surfi ng. Divers can experience spectacular marine life with a choice of 365 dive sites, suitable for all levels. Check out Stingray City, a unique shallow sand bar where friendly stingrays congregate in open waters. Or head to sister island Cayman Brac for abseiling, rock-climbing and hiking. As ‘the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean’, with more than 200 restaurants, the Cayman Islands offer unique culinary experiences served up with sunshine, clear blue seas and a warm Caymanian welcome. Offering mouth-watering farm-to-table cuisine, many restaurants feature menus serving only locally-sourced organic fruit, vegetables and herbs. Local dishes include freshly cooked fried fi sh, conch stew in a harbour-front restaurant or Cayman Style Beef in a local restaurant in Bodden Town.

Try ‘Swanky’ – Caymanian lemonade made with brown sugar –and fi nish with Cassava Heavy Cake, a famous local dessert.
