Located 450 miles south of Miami, and just a short hop from Cuba, the Cayman Islands is a premium holiday destination that has something for everyone. Its friendly and hassle-free trio of islands, Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman, deliver an off the beaten path travel experience that keep visitors coming back for more. The Cayman Islands’ unspoilt beaches, crystal
waters and striking scenery are far from the destination’s only highlights. Known as the best diving destination in the Caribbean, and with a deeply impressive culinary offering, the islands are home to incredible wildlife and a culturally rich arts scene. A variety of activities and unique experiences await visitors in this archipelago. With an astonishing 365 different diving
locations to be enjoyed, it’s no surprise that the Cayman Islands is one of the most desirable diving destinations in the world. Whether visitors are looking to enjoy a leisurely snorkel or dive deeper into the blue, there are plenty of opportunities to discover the sea life, corals and shipwrecks. A brief boat ride from the shores of Grand Cayman lies
Stingray City; a shallow sandbar where visitors can get close to Southern Atlantic stingrays in their natural environment. Grand Cayman is one of only a handful of
destinations globally where you can experience the bioluminescence phenomenon. This spectacle is caused by the emission of light from the area’s extremely high concentrations of biolumisecent phytoplankton. A guided night-time kayak tour of Bioluminescent Bay, with a spot of star-gazing thrown in for good measure, is a must. Just a 40-minute plane flight from Grand
Cayman sits the sister island of Cayman Brac. With its 100 walking trails and routes, suited to all abilities, it’s a destination that hikers will love. Brac, which is actually the Gaelic word for bluff, lives up to the hidden meaning in its name. It’s dominated by a cliff that rises with sheer vertical walls to nearly 150 feet, and has a craggy limestone ridge that’s long attracted rock climbers and hikers to its shores. The Bluff, which is officially the highest part of the Cayman Islands, is a great spot for abseiling.
