Places to Stay

The Cayman Islands are an overseas territory of the United Kingdom. Grand Cayman and her smaller siblings – Little Cayman and Cayman Brac – are located 150 miles south of Cuba and 180 miles northwest of Jamaica.

You’ll find a wide variety of accommodations on Grand Cayman, ranging from large luxury resorts on the beach, to stunning, fully equipped condos and villas, to affordable guest houses and bed-and-breakfasts. No matter where on Island you prefer to stay, there are options that will fit your family’s lifestyle and budget.

Although Cayman Brac and Little Cayman are much smaller, you will also find excellent beachfront accommodations and dive resorts on both.

Famous Attractions

Turtle Farm – The world-renowned 23-acre Cayman Turtle Farm is a marine adventure park that more than 7,000 Green Sea Turtles call home. They are the largest of the hard-shelled sea turtles and the second largest of all turtle species. Some of them weigh more than 500 pounds.

Stingray City – Another exciting attraction is Stingray City. Thousands of tourists visit the park each day by boat, and walk, swim and snorkel among the incredibly friendly stingrays that roam free in an area of the ocean protected by offshore reefs. The stingrays are large, friendly and love to be petted.

Off the Beaten Path

Pedro St. James National Historic Site

Pedro St. James, or the “Castle,” is an elaborate three-story great house built in 1780 by a wealthy English slave owner. Today, the historic building, located about 20 minutes by car from George Town, is best known as the birthplace of democracy in the islands. Take an interactive tour and enjoy the beautiful setting with a fantastic view of the Caribbean Sea.

Kittiwake Shipwreck and Underwater Museum

In West Bay, discover the historic USS Kittiwake, a submarine rescue vessel that was in service from 1945 to 1994 and later sunk in the Cayman Islands to create an artificial reef. The Kittiwake is 251 feet long with 5 decks and can be enjoyed by all skill levels of snorkelers and scuba divers. To dive or snorkel the Kittiwake, you must take a licensed vessel.
