The largest of the three islands, Grand Cayman, has enjoyed considerable investment over the last couple of years with resort openings such as the resplendent Ritz-Carlton with its first ever La Prairie ‘Silver Rain’ Spa. Visitors enjoy browsing around the attractive capital George Town where many shops can be found selling duty free bargains alongside local art and craft stores. Superb restaurants serving local and international cuisine abound across the island, which is regarded as one of the safest and most welcoming of all Caribbean destinations, and a joy to explore by car. There are a number of fascinating attractions on Grand Cayman suitable for adults and children alike. The Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park is a sweetly scented haven for horticulturalists, where the Blue Iguana freely roams and can be seen up close by visitors, thanks to the hugely successful Blue Iguana Recovery Programme. For relaxation, swimming and sunbathing, visitors head to the famous Seven Mile Beach, a seemingly endless stretch of pristine white sand. On the north of the island, Rum Point is destination of choice for rum punch cocktails, lazing in hammocks and generally soaking up Caribbean lifestyle. Sporty types will find a wide variety of water sports on offer around the island.
