Cayman Islands Holidays

Cayman Island Holidays offers guests a remarkable and often overlooked sun soaked destination in the Caribbean. The majority of the island lives on the island of Grand Cayman which is the largest of the three islands which make up the destination. The Grand Cayman offers guests a lively and energetic nightlife and a whole host of tourist related attractions, including watersports, boat trips and an excellent range of shops all centred around its capital George Town.

The west side of the island also boasts the famous Seven Mile Beach whose resplendent golden sands stretches for over five miles along the Cayman's magnificent coastline. It is often said to be the most beautiful beach in all of the Caribbean.  If you’re looking for a little more seclusion the eastern side of Grand Cayman offers guests nature reserves and quieter, less travelled streets.

Luxury Holidays to the Cayman Islands

Holidays to the western side of Grand Cayman brings you to the most developed region of the island, with the airport, several marinas and the capital, George town. This is where the nightlife, shopping and eating out is best. However, the eastern side of the island contrasts heavily, with several nature reserves and many less travelled streets and beaches. In this way, Cayman Islands holidays robustly cater to both those who prefer the full luxury holiday experience, and those who prefer to build their experiences for themselves.

Things to do whilst on holiday

It would be a shame to confine your holidays to the Cayman Islands to Grand Cayman. Around 80 miles northeast of the capital island, the small, secluded islands of Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are an important part of the Cayman Islands experience. With only a handful of hotels and places to drink, it’s possible to enjoy a slower pace of life as you visit. Those who tire of lounging on the quiet, beautiful beaches of these islands may venture into the water to enjoy some of the Caribbean’s best diving. Among the fifty dive sites around Little Cayman is the Bloody Bay Wall, a 1,000 foot drop off teeming with marine life, visible in the crystal clarity that you expect from the Caribbean sea.
