Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
All of Inspirato’s nine Grand Cayman accommodations are along Seven Mile Beach, the most pristine beach on the entire island. At the northern end lies Cousteau, an oceanfront penthouse apartment offering a bit of seclusion. In the center of Seven Mile Beach, enjoy Ritz-Carlton amenities such as restaurants and pools when you stay at one of our six Ritz-Carlton residences.
On the southern tip of Seven Mile Beach sit Villa Cielo and Villa Notte, two four-bedroom properties close to the coastline as well as the restaurants and shops of George Town.
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.

The Caribbean's Premier Scuba & Snorkeling
With visibility that seems to extend for miles in the crystal-clear waters, Grand Cayman offers the perfect environment to discover undersea wonders. You'll find pristine reefs where angelfish hover and red coral walls that plunge into unseen depths. Swimming between these walls will evoke another planet. Explore tunnels and underpasses where fish flutter through elaborate coral constructions, wrecks where lobsters hide and Stingray City where the eponymous creatures dwell. The diversity is breathtaking.
Grand Cayman's snorkeling is sure to astound as well. For Inspirato Members, a short walk from our Inspirato Residences leads to the best spot on the island. However, we also recommend:
- Eden Rock
- Cemetery Reef Beach
- Rum Point (and the beach bar afterward!)

Summer Forever
The summer (and rainy) season runs from approximately May through October and the best time to visit is from December to April. If it rains, the squall may pass over quickly, and note that hurricane season is June through the end of November.

Turtle, Turtle
Grand Cayman's tourism logo is a turtle, and appropriately so, as the animal is of utmost importance to locals. The Cayman Island Turtle Farm is home to 16,000 Green Sea Turtles. Plan a visit to the interactive Turtle Farm to get up close and personal with the endangered species.

Get Romantic
For an unforgettable evening beneath the stars, dine on fresh seafood and island-fusion fare on the open-air deck at the Calypso Grill. It's one of the island's best spots for a casual, romantic night out.

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.
