Cayman Islands holidays
The crystal clear waters of the Caribbean appear even clearer around the Cayman Islands. Lying 480 miles south of Miami ensures a tropical year round climate making the Cayman Islands and especially Grand Cayman a haven for visitors from colder climes. The Cayman Islands offer gleaming white sand beaches and some of the best snorkelling and diving in the world. ‘Deeply Relaxing’ is a phrase coined for the Cayman Islands and how appropriate!
There are regular flights between Grand Cayman and Miami or New York enabling a contrasting twin centre opportunity; in Miami we recommend staying in the Art Deco district or on famous Miami beach, whilst in New York fabulous centrally located city hotels beckon to add a totally different dimension to your Caribbean holiday.
The Cayman Islands offer spectacular natural beauty, so whether you want to explore sunken wrecks, swim with stingrays or just relax on the soft sands of seven mile beach and swim in the crystal clear waters, Grand Cayman makes the perfect base.
- Grand Cayman is the largest of the three islands and boasts superb beaches, excellent diving, fine dining and a wealth of things to do and places to visit.
- However, if it’s the smaller Cayman islands you wish to explore by day, then the rugged 14 square miles of Cayman Brac with its dramatic caves and charming homes with traditional architectural styles, or the least developed of the trio, Little Cayman, which is largely uninhabited and is an untouched tropical wilderness, will excite further. Both are accessed by regular flights on Cayman Airways from Grand Cayman.
- Take a trip to Boatswain’s Beach a magnificent green sea turtle farm and spot thousands of turtles from 6oz to 600lbs or relax in the beautiful lagoon pool.
- At Pedro St James National Historic Site you can see the history of the Cayman Islands going back 200 years in a 19th Century style enclosure at this living heritage museum.
- For divers, the famed Cayman Wall is an underwater paradise, or get up close to stingrays at the famous
- Stingray City where you can stroke and feed these fascinating creatures in their natural habitat.
- You can even visit Hell – jagged black rock formations in Grand Caymans northwest.
