About Little Cayman
Much loved by divers and snorkellers, diminutive Little Cayman sits just alongside some of the world’s most striking coral dive sites. Charming, tranquil and home to just a few hundred people, Little Cayman offers a good selection of simple guesthouses and gorgeous boutique hideaways fit for a range of tastes and budgets. Most of the best places to stay in Little Cayman are small, intimate and diving-focused, perfect for laid-back couples or active families.
A huge contrast to glitzy Grand Cayman, 10-mile-long Little Cayman is a quiet island paradise, ideal for nature lovers who can delve into a fascinating underwater world at around fifty spectacular diving sites. The impressive drop-off at Bloody Bay Wall is a particular highlight — thought to be amidst the top dives in the Caribbean. Snorkellers, sailors and kayakers will find stacks to see and do, whilst strong swimmers can venture to the deserted shores of nearby Owen Island for next-level seclusion! The Red-Footed Booby Nature Reserve is well worth visiting, too, with frigates, egrets, herons and West Indian Whistling Ducks aplenty.
Don’t miss ambling around the Little Cayman Museum for a sense of the island’s history, and kicking back on the many marvellous white sand beaches, including picturesque Point of Sound, paddling around the lagoon or trying deep sea fishing.
Whether you’re dreaming of a tropical honeymoon or an epic diving holiday, the best places to stay in Little Cayman promise a truly magical Caribbean escape.
