Winter + Spring Getaway : Cayman Islands | By Kim Fuller

Now with a direct flight from Denver, Cayman Islands have never been more accessible for those in Colorado to plan a truly special tropical getaway. Cayman Airways now offers these nonstop flights from December through August, and after a rejuvenating trip last March, I wholeheartedly recommend a visit that embodies relaxation and wellness. 

Cayman Islands

Sailing in the Cayman Islands

Cayman Islands Cave

WHAT TO DO 

To make your visit to Grand Cayman extra focused on movement and well-being, work with local outfitters like Vitamin Sea Cayman Islands for stand-up paddleboard (SUP) sessions, kitesurfing lessons, beach yoga classes and SUP yoga. Head to Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park for a walk through the gardens followed by a tour of the Blue Iguana Habitat, where you can see a recovering population of Cayman’s famous endangered “Blue Dragon.” And don’t miss the chance to jump on the Rum Point Beach Excursion with Red Sail Sports. Sun-drenched time in the boat on the open water is followed by time on the beach to chill or take a dip in the crystal clear water. 

WHERE TO STAY 

Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa is a lovely lifestyle resort located right on Seven Mile Beach. It’s easy to sink into all the sweet spaces that are all connected to an open-air design. Winding gardens lead to secret sanctuaries and pristine pools, with paths that all seem to make their way toward the Caribbean Sea. A leisurely day can be paired with the afternoon Vino & Vinyasa yoga class offered on the Kimpton Lawn. It’s the perfect way to “wine” down before getting ready for dinner. And it’s absolutely worth spending an afternoon in the stunning spa on property and indulging in a Vitamin Sea Facial or Cayman Coconut Body Scrub. 

Dinner in the Cayman Islands

WHERE TO EAT 

All the dining outlets at the Seafire are spot on, and don’t miss Sunday Brunch there as it’s the culinary highlight of the week. Upon arrival I ate right on the beach at Coccoloba, a part Mexican street taco joint, part beach hut that offers a creative menu and ideal ocean views. And my final breakfast of the trip was enjoyed at Ave, a simply perfect spot to soak in every last ounce of Cayman perfection. 

For an elegant waterfront experience, Morgan’s Seafood Restaurant offers panoramic views of Governor’s Creek out on the desk. Enjoy a delightful ocean-to-table seafood menu with items like fresh ceviche and tuna sashimi, along with land favorites like a jerk burger or Morgan’s famous chicken schnitzel. This was the most memorable meal of my trip to the Cayman Islands, from the ambiance to every dish and wine pairing. Now I’m just trying to figure out how quickly I can get back there.

CAYMAN ISLANDS EVENTS
