Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
Upscale Caribbean Comforts
While there's plenty to do above ground, Grand Cayman's real draw is underwater. Dive a mere 30 feet to explore pristine reefs, coral walls descending hundreds of feet, and shipwrecks teeming with pastel-colored fish. If you prefer snorkeling, there's Eden Rock, Devil's Grotto at Seven Mile Beach and the best spot on the island a short swim out from the beach in front of our Inspirato Residences. On land, you'll want to venture to the Cayman Turtle Farm, discover the unique flora and fauna in the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, and spend a carefree afternoon at Rum Point. Still not relaxed? Your Destination Concierge will book you a spa appointment.

Forecasting Your Grand Cayman Vacation
Sunny skies and warm temperatures: Grand Cayman epitomizes the ideal Caribbean climate. The best time to visit is from December to April, but any time of the year, you can expect temperatures to range from the low 70s to mid-90s. Rainy season generally runs from May through November, but squalls may pass over quickly, and while hurricane season starts in June, these storms are rare in Grand Cayman.
