The Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands are a British Territory and have a colorful past of seafaring, turtling, and in the very early years, being a hideaway for pirates.  These islands used to be governed by Jamaica , with both countries being ruled by Great Britain.  When Jamaica declared independence from Great Britain , the Cayman Islands remained a British territory and have enjoyed the stability and protection that comes from remaining within the British empire .

About 40 to 50 years ago, most Caymanians had to leave their country and go to Sea as merchant marines and sailors to support their families.  Since then, the Cayman Islands have developed their financial and tourism industries.  From these humble beginnings, the country has grown into the fifth largest financial center in the world.   Tourism has grown from a fledgling industry to what is now the country's largest industry employing more people than any other business.

The country is very stable with virtually no crime or poverty and has one of the highest standards of living in the Caribbean   Tourism is embraced by the local people, who are some of the most welcoming and friendly of anywhere in the world. The Cayman Islands are comprised of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman .  Grand Cayman is the focus of the tourism industry and financial center.  It has some of the most spectacular beaches you will ever find, all around the island.

The real estate industry in Grand Cayman  has been extremely robust, as vacation condominiums, villas, and homes have been built over the years to satisfy the increasing demand for second homes from overseas tourists.  The island is now about to experience a new phase of growth, with added infrastructure and five star accommodations being built in prime locations around Grand Cayman .  This growth in tourism accommodations and second homes is unprecedented, both in volume and quality.

For those who invest in this next phase of growth and development, the rewards will be great.  Second home investors and tourists will have the best choices of locations and prices.  The Cayman Islands are truly a tropical paradise and have more repeat visitors than any other Caribbean destination.
