Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands, a self-governing British Overseas Territory in the western Caribbean, is a trio of low-lying coral outcrops—Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman—renowned for a high standard of living and a sophisticated, cosmopolitan atmosphere. Originally sighted by Christopher Columbus in 1503 and named Las Tortugas for its abundant sea turtles, the islands have evolved from a remote maritime outpost into a global titan of offshore finance and luxury tourism. Today, they are famous for the crystal-clear waters of Seven Mile Beach, world-class diving sites like Stingray City, and a thriving culinary scene often dubbed the “Culinary Capital of the Caribbean.”
