VILLAS Where to Stay Villa Specialist and Cayman expert Michael C. spent a week in May exploring villas on the island. See some of his favorites below, and read part two of his trip report here.
|
|
 |
Villa CM SMC, 2BR, Cayman Kai
|
"Located on Cayman Kai, you're in walking distance to Rum Point - a perfect spot to watch the sunset and try a local spirit."
|
|
|
|
 |
Villa GCM SRN, 4BR, East End
|
"This is a comfortable family villa in a terrific location, with great snorkeling right out front."
|
|
|
|
 |
|
"This villa has been recently renovated, as have several other villas nearby. They can be combined for a large family gathering."
|
|
|
|
 |
|
"Sun Salutations is a perfect area to catch the 'green flash' of sunset. Breakfast is provided each morning by the housekeeper, and it's a quick walk to Rum Point, a popular beach bar."
|
|
|
|
 |
|
"This has all you would expect from a fine villa: an elegant entry, a well-stocked kitchen, and great views of the sea from most rooms. Add in the pool and terrific Seven Mile beach access and this property is highly desirable."

ACTIVITIES: What to Do Some Caribbean islands are more suited for relaxing than sight-seeing. Grand Cayman is not one of those islands! Take a look at some of our favorite sites to explore and activities to try.
|
 |
|
Sting Ray City Sting rays abound in this stretch of sandbars in the North Sound. While it may sound like a tourist trap, nearly everyone will agree it's a can't-miss. |
|
 |
|
Scuba Diving
The sport is one of the driving reasons of the island's popularity. Explore wrecks, incredible coral, and marine parks. |
|
 |
|
Smith's Cove Just a ten minute ride from the capital Georgetown, this secluded cove is almost like a lagoon, and excellent for snorkeling. |
|
 |
|
Seven Mile Beach Known as one of the best beaches in the world, this sparkling stretch of sand is one of the defining reasons to go to the Caymans. |
|
 |
|
Crystal Caves This tropical area on the north side has only been available to tourists for two years. A tour takes you through crystal coves partially underwater. |
|
 |
|
Botanical Gardens To experience a touch of nature, head to the botanical gardens. For gardening enthusiasts, book a trip during the annual orchid show (held in February). |
