Head for the quieter side of Grand Cayman for a special setting on the white-sand beach of Colliers Bay and a stay at this luxury boutique property. The resort offers a unique respite away from it all, but still close enough to enjoy Grand Cayman’s main attractions.

Its 74 studio, one- and two-bedroom luxury suites sit on 1,600 feet of secluded beach, with snorkeling right off the beach. All are beachfront, with patios featuring spectacular views of Colliers Bay and the Caribbean.

The focus here is on Grand Cayman’s famed waters, with an exclusive partnership with Ocean Frontiers, which offers world class “valet diving” and a wealth of island adventures both above and below the water.  A dive shop is also available at the resort, as well as a boutique, Internet café, gym and tennis facilities. The resort’s concierge staff can take care of all guests’ needs via e-mail before they even arrive on the island.

Dine in Castro’s Hideaway Beach Bar, offering its own island ambiance thanks to the resident talking cockatoo, or the air-conditioned oceanfront restaurant. The show by the Reef’s own legendary “Barefoot Man,” a shoeless Calypsonian, is a Cayman institution.
