Ninety miles south of Cuba, the Cayman Islands boast some of the world’s most beautiful coral reefs, as well as idyllic white-sand beaches and lots for active travellers or sociable visitors to see and do. Spread across the islands of Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac are a whole host of wonderful accommodation options, including simple, diving-focused guesthouses and lavish luxury resorts fit for a range of tastes and budgets. Many of the best places to stay in the Cayman Islands are right on the beach, perfect for making the most of the glorious sand and sea.

The largest of the islands, Grand Cayman, is famed for its opulent resorts, and its wide array of restaurants, bars and boutiques. There are historic mansions to visit, lovely botanical gardens and national museums, too. Many of our top hotel picks are set along striking Seven Mile Beach, a spectacular stretch of powdery white sand, brilliant for sunbathing, picnicking and heading out to swim, snorkel or sail. This is the island to choose if you’re looking for something hip and lively.
