The beautiful islands 'owned by Britain', 7,650 kilometers from Great Britain | Travel news

Are you getting tired of the same old in Mallorca, Tenerife and Spain?

Don’t be afraid. The Cayman Islands, a self-governing British Overseas Territory in the beautiful Caribbean, are the ultimate holiday destination – and the official language is English.

With hardly any tourists (less than 500,000 arriving by plane by 2023), this archipelago of three islands is spoiled with beautiful beaches, sumptuous restaurants and incredible diving spots, guaranteeing a unique holiday experience.

Whether you’re a foodie, enjoy relaxing on the beach or want to explore your adventurous side, this destination has it all, but it’s a 4,650-mile journey to get there from the UK.

As mentioned, the islands are home to a number of beautiful beaches with golden sand and deep blue water. The most popular is Seven Mile Beach on the west side of Grand Cayman Island.

Not far from the beach are most of the island’s luxury resorts and hotels – very convenient for travelers. There is also a small town called Camana Bay, opposite the beach, where you will find restaurants, cafes and a cinema, meaning you have absolutely everything you need.

Food is always an important part of a vacation, and the Cayman Islands ticks all the boxes in that category. Whether you want to dine fine or try traditional home-cooked meals, the island caters to all taste buds.

The archipelago is also home to the Caribbean’s first and only Forbes Five-Star, which only highlights the quality of the island’s culinary scene.

There are so many exciting activities to try on the islands, including swimming with stingrays in the famous Stingray City or exploring beneath the coast and the crystal caves. The Cayman Islands have more than 365 dive sites to explore, including two shipwrecks.

What makes this destination so great is that the islands don’t see many tourists; in fact, there were only about 380,000 last year, making it an incredible place to book for your next trip.
