1. Safety and Accessibility

Grand Cayman (of the Cayman Islands, of course) is renowned for being one of the safest places in the western hemisphere, so you can enjoy peace of mind, knowing that you are in a secure environment that prioritizes your well-being. In the unlikely event you require medical care, rest assured that you will find excellent healthcare facilities equipped with state-of-the-art technology and experienced medical professionals. The tap water is purified by reverse osmosis so it’s safe to drink, English is spoken everywhere, and getting to Grand Cayman is a breeze, with direct flights available from major cities such as London, Miami, Toronto, Denver, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte and New York City.

2. Perfect Climate and Abundant Sunshine

Grand Cayman boasts an idyllic climate, with temperatures ranging from 80 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit (27 to 32 degrees Celsius) year-round. With over 300 days of sunshine annually, you can indulge in a wide variety of outdoor activities, relax on pristine beaches, and bask in the warmth of the Caribbean sun. It definitely gets warmer during June – September, so make sure you’re prepared! While there is a rainy season until October, it rarely interferes with the overall enjoyable weather.

3. Cultural Diversity and Culinary Delights

Grand Cayman hosts an incredible multicultural community, with over 125 nationalities coexisting on this small island paradise. This diversity is beautifully reflected in the local culinary scene, and has earned Grand Cayman the title of “The Culinary Capital of the Caribbean”. From high-end dining establishments to charming dive bars and everything in between, the island offers a wide array of restaurants serving exceptional food. Craft cocktail bars and wine lists are also abundant, ensuring a delightful gastronomic experience for every palate.

4. Currency, Shopping, and Amenities

The official currency in Grand Cayman is the Cayman Islands dollar (CI), which is currently valued at approximately 1.2 US dollars. However, US dollars are widely accepted throughout the island, making transactions simple and convenient. Duty-free shopping in Grand Cayman is unparalleled, particularly for items like jewelry, watches, perfumes, liquor and cosmetics; you’ll find all of your favorite brands. The island also boasts unique local markets and well-stocked supermarkets, ensuring you have access to a wide range of products and services, with everything you need to feel at home away from home.

5. Easy Transportation and Navigation

While driving on the left side of the road may initially present a challenge for some visitors, Grand Cayman is relatively easy to navigate once you adjust to this difference. The island features numerous roundabouts that simplify traffic flow and make it easier to get around. Renting a car is a popular option for exploring the island’s various attractions, and reliable navigation apps such as Google Maps and Waze work seamlessly to guide you.
