Grand Cayman is a great destination as it has a wonderful natural landscape, beautiful tropical gardens, wonderful diving and a great festival takes place in October called “Pirates Week” (which is actually a 10-day event).

Cayman Islands Overview:

Nestled in the heart of the Caribbean Sea, the Cayman Islands - Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman - are renowned for dazzling white beaches and a diversity of experiences from ultimate indulgence to breathtaking adventure both above ground and under the sea. With average year-round temperatures of 80F and a pace of life that promises total relaxation, the Cayman Islands are clean, safe, friendly and offer something to delight everyone.

Located 80 miles southwest of Miami, Grand Cayman is the largest of the three islands, measuring seven miles across at its widest and 28 miles long. Cayman Brac is the second largest, with Little Cayman (population only 100) being as close to a 'Robinson Crusoe' island as it is possible to be. Whether one's preference is to laze in the sun or to engage in more active pursuits, the Cayman Islands fits the bill perfectly.

Adventure is both below sea and above land - choose from travelling 1000ft up in a helicopter or descend 100 ft down in the Atlantis Submarine. Wildlife is not to be ignored either; the blue iguana is indigenous to the Cayman Islands, and spotting and naming one of these remarkable creatures is a rewarding way to while away a few hours while exploring the islands flora and fauna.

Of course, if love is in the air, the Cayman Islands is the most idyllic location for a special day, with bespoke wedding services available on all three islands, and the perfect destination for that once in a lifetime honeymoon.
