Wowing visitors from all over the world with pristine beaches, crystal clear waters and fascinating flora and fauna, the Cayman Islands offers couples the chance to enjoy a slice of paradise.

With a trio of islands - Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman - waiting to be explored, travellers will find a wealth of activities and locations to suit every couple’s holiday desires. Ideal for adventurous travellers, nature-lovers and those looking to relax and unwind on world-class beaches, there’s as much thrill as there is chill.

Grand Cayman

The largest within the three-island archipelago, Grand Cayman offers complete relaxation, exquisite dining, exciting nightlife and, of course, crystal-clear waters and white sand beaches. Couples will love the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Seven-Mile Beach, the many world-class hotels, restaurants, beach bars and activities available, and the rural-town feel of the East End. 

The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park and its rare blue iguanas, a variety of local art galleries, and the beautiful ancient Mastic Trail are just a few of the attractions awaiting couples looking for a getaway that truly has something for every taste.

As its name suggests, Little Cayman is the smallest of the Cayman Islands - and home to more iguanas than people - making it perfect for those looking to get off the grid and spend quality time together. 

Being only one mile wide and 10 miles long, Little Cayman dazzles with pristine sand beaches, crystal-clear waters, a beautiful nature reserve and world-class diving sites - all the makings for a private romantic retreat. 

Those looking for a gentle immersion in nature can take a bicycle around the island visiting the Booby Pond Nature Reserve or to the South Hole Sound Lagoon for what is often a private swim. Another spectacular adventure for two is a kayak to Owen Island. Couples can snorkel through stunning marine life or delve a little deeper with a dive at the Bloody Bay Wall - a world-renowned dive site with a dramatic 5,000 foot drop-off.

Where to stay on Little Cayman: 

Southern Cross Club -. Offering ‘barefoot elegance’, couples can choose to simply relax at the hotel, take a kayak out onto the crystal clear waters, explore Little Cayman’s famous dive sites or immerse themselves in nature. Located on the edge of the beachfront property, the hotel’s Honeymoon Suite offers a spacious room, king size bed, private outdoor shower and, of course, stunning views.

Take a moonlit horse ride: For couples looking for an extra special activity, a moonlit horse ride along the beach with Spirit of the West offers a unique, and romantic way to see the island’s natural beauty. Guided only by the moon light and the horses’ natural instincts, couples can be wowed by the stunning light reflections on the water.

Charter a boat for two: Couples can take to the crystal-clear waters with a private boat charter for two. Spend a morning at Stingray City and with the wild stingrays that call this place home before heading to Starfish Point for a snorkel to observe the abundance of orange starfish or enjoy the stunning colours of the sky with a sunset sail before taking in the beauty of the night sky as it glistens with stars. 

Get your spa on: What better way to leave behind the stresses of everyday life than with head-to-toe pampering? Couples who want to feel their best will love a romantic wellness day for two at the spectacular Hibiscus Spa at The Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa. The luxurious oasis has 13 treatment rooms, two steam and sauna rooms, a women’s whirlpool and Vichy showers, and experienced health and beauty therapists to offer massages and a variety of other treatments designed to rejuvenate mind, body and soul.

Arty exploits: Those wanting to explore the vibrant local arts scene or even take home a unique souvenir can explore Cayman’s local galleries. The National Gallery of the Cayman Islands in George Town honours the islands’ artistic heritage, and provides a platform for local artists to share their work. Meanwhile, 3 Girls & A Kiln is an art collective championing fun designs, island-inspired ceramics and upcycled art - and offers a chance to create your own artwork!

Dine under the full moon: Foodies will love learning about locally grown ingredients and how the culinary experts from Chellamella transform them into delicious dishes during an atmospheric moonlit dinner at the Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park. Every month, gourmets can enjoy a six-course meal which champions local produce in unique, innovative ways, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a late-night stroll through the park under the silver light of the Full Moon.
