About The Cayman Islands

With over 50,000 residents, Grand Cayman is approximately 76 square miles.  On Grand Cayman you will find some of the most popular Caribbean activities and attractions.  Whether you are looking for complete relaxation, exquisite dining, exciting nightlife or the awesome underwater sights of our oh-so-accessible reefs, Cosmopolitan Grand Cayman has something for everyone.

On the west side of Grand Cayman you will find some of the most romantic spots in The Cayman Islands, including the famous Seven Mile Beach, the crescent-shaped natural wonder with boundless capacity for relaxation. With sand stretching as far as the eye can see, Grand Cayman’s Seven Mile Beach is often rated as one of the most beautiful beaches in all the Caribbean and the least populated.

The Cayman Islands are located in the western Caribbean, 480 miles south of Miami, 150 miles south of Cuba and 180 miles northwest of Jamaica. A Cayman Islands wedding is a very popular destination and the location is ideal for a Caribbean wedding and honeymoon.
