For those anxious to leave the stress and hectic pace of the past few months behind, the Cayman Islands provides a close, convenient retreat.

Located just an hour south of Miami by air, Grand Cayman affords honeymooners a wide range of experiences--everything from tranquil times on deserted beaches to evenings out in a cosmopolitan Caribbean setting. If it’s a true departure you’re after, visit the Sister Islands Little Cayman and Cayman Brac for a brand of “quiet togetherness” that’s simply beyond compare.

Revel in the solitude of a white sand beach all your own. Commune with nature on one of the islands’ numerous walking trails.  Savor scrumptious dining or take to the crystal clear water to experience first-hand why Cayman is world-renowned as a divers’ and snorkellers’ paradise. Whatever your passion or your pleasure, the Cayman Islands has the elegance and ambience to deliver the quintessential island escape.

World class accommodations
Whether you choose to spend your honeymoon in the lap of luxury at one of Grand Cayman’s upscale resorts, or simply getaway from it all at a cozy beach bungalow in Little Cayman - you’ll find a wide array of choice accommodations—each displaying its own special brand of Cayman hospitality.

Fine dining
With over 150 restaurants offering a mix of everything, quite literally, under the sun, the Cayman Islands offers honeymooners a culinary diversity unmatched in the Caribbean. From street-side cafes offering local Caymanian fare,  to candlelit Italian and French Bistros and elegant oceanfront dining rooms - paradise in Cayman extends to the palate.

Everything under the sun
Augmenting its reputation as perhaps the finest watersports destination on earth, Cayman boasts a number of stirring topside attractions - including Boatwsains Beach, the majestic Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, legendary, laid-back Rum Point and the white sand expanse of world famous Seven Mile beach. For golfers, Cayman offers three championship courses: the Jack Nicklaus-designed Britannia at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cayman, Greg Norman’s Blue Tip at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman and The Links at Safehaven. If total relaxation is more to your mindset, stop into any of the islands’ luxurious spas for a pampering massage.

Although there’s much to see and do on land, your honeymoon memories of Cayman will invariably be entwined with the crystal clear 80-degree waters that surround us. For honeymooners who dive, Cayman boasts over 300 of the world’s best sites. For snorkellers, there are literally dozens of amazing shallow water options, including world-famous Stingray City where couples can meet and feed the local populace of giant Southern Atlantic Stingrays. If marriage has emboldened you, climb inside the Atlantis deep-dive submarine with your mate and explore inner space at depths of up to 1,000 feet. Jet skiing, parasailing and kayaking are also available at most of the islands’ resorts and hotels, as are deep-sea fishing and sailing charters. For a truly unforgettable evening, charter a catamaran or climb aboard one of the islands’ many sunset cruises.
