Hotel Information: Opened in 2006, the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman spans 144 acres, from the white sands of Seven Mile Beach to the North Sound—a reef-protected lagoon that is home to Stingray City. The resort attracts guests seeking a luxury experience—including destination dining and a La Prairie Spa—combined with outdoor pleasures such as snorkeling and tennis.

Insider tip - Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, about a 30-minute ride from the resort, is the place to see rare Blue Iguanas, along with turtles, butterflies, and colorful birds. Occasionally, visitors may spot green Cayman parrots.

Recreation

The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman is located in the center of Seven Mile Beach along the clear Caribbean Sea. The waters, teeming with colorful sea life, invite snorkeling, scuba diving, and relaxed swims. Guests can snorkel and dive just offshore, but the resort also provides boat rides (surcharge) to the best sites. The resort rents snorkeling and diving gear. Windsurfing and motorized water sports are available through independent providers along the beach.

The Ritz-Carlton’s tennis center (surcharge), with three red-clay courts and a grass court, a separate backboard, and water views, was created by Nick Bollettieri, coach of many champions. The resort has two outdoor pools: one oceanfront and paired with a spa tub; the other on the North Sound side. The fitness center offers complimentary group classes such as Body Sculpting and Soca/Reggae Aerobics, with surcharges for personal training.

At Stingray City, a 10-minute boat ride from the Ritz-Carlton, visitors can swim under, over, and along with the rays, and hand-feed them, too.
