Including a massage, facial, and pedicure, this luxury spa package provides you with the rest and rejuvenation you need for island adventures.
…And Enjoy a Sunset Boat Trip
For the perfect introduction to Grand Cayman, embark on a Seven Mile Beach sunset sail. As the sun lowers beneath the horizon, it bathes the island in golden hues, revealing Grand Cayman’s beauty in a new light. Enjoy snacks and champagne, and toast to the adventures ahead.

…And Unwind With Grand Cayman Yoga
After spending the day beneath the waves or getting your heart pumping on a jet ski, why not relax with some yoga? Stretch your muscles and refocus your breathing, coming back to the centre and regrounding yourself on land. You can join a class or simply take your yoga mat out onto the beach for a solo yoga session. It’s one of our favourite options for How to Relax on a Grand Cayman Vacation.
Explore the Crystal Caves…
The underwater world isn’t the only magical part of Grand Cayman — underground, more intrigue awaits at the Cayman Crystal Caves. Take a guided tour and descend into these majestic limestone caves, filled with stalactites and a shimmering lake.
Hike the Mastic Trail…
Grand Cayman isn’t all beach, however. Venture inland and hike the scenic Mastic Trail, located in one of the last remaining old-growth forests on the island. Spanning approximately four kilometres or 2.3 miles in total, this trail takes about two hours to complete. Along the path, you may see a variety of Cayman species, including the native Grand Cayman parrot, the West Indian woodpecker, and the wild banana orchid — the national flower of the islands.
…Then Drink Cocktails at Rum Point Club
After your hike, put your feet up and have a cocktail at the Rum Point Club. Nestled on the North Side of the island, you can choose to have a drink and a bite to eat at their scenic Rum Deck, or dine on a delicious Caribbean meal at the Solis Restaurant. It’s the perfect way to wind down after a day spent exploring.
Discover Stingray City…
One of the most unmissable adventures in Grand Cayman is Stingray City. At this shallow sandbar, you can swim among hundreds of friendly stingrays, who have become used to the presence of boats and people. Take a Stingray City Tour and let your guide show you how best to interact with these “puppies of the sea”.
…And Pamper Yourself at La Mer Spa
