The Cayman Islands – Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman – are situated just a short distance off the eastern tip of America, between Cuba and Jamaica. Travellers booking Cayman Islands flights arrive in Grand Cayman and are welcomed with sugar-white sand beaches, a bustling city centre, and a decadent nightlife scene. Grand Cayman is home to 500 banks and some of the best beaches in the world. Those travellers looking for peace and quiet, and no distractions, should head to Little Cayman or Cayman Brac. Both islands are located just 70 miles from Grand Cayman and are touted as being more relaxed and laid-back than the main island.
First discovered by Christopher Columbus in 1503, the Cayman Islands remain a British territory and are still under British rule. Thanks to the booming tourism this country sees every year, the Cayman Islands continue to thrive and function in business, real estate, and beaches. So long as tourists continue booking flights to the Cayman Islands, the pristine beaches and bustling business centre will continue to flourish, making them a year-round destination for any traveller.
