The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman (tel. 800/241-3333; www.ritzcarlton.com). At long last, and after many delays, Grand Cayman has a Ritz-Carlton worthy of its plush name. Set on both sides of a boulevard next to Seven Mile Beach, it feels like Europe in the tropics with a golf course. Only problem is, it's very expensive.
Grand Cayman Beach Suites, Grand Cayman (tel. 800/949-1234; www.grand-cayman-beach-suites.com). This luxurious and stylish retreat opens onto one of the most beautiful stretches of Seven Mile Beach, 3km (2 miles) north of George Town. For golfers, the excellent golf course makes this the obvious lodging choice.
The Westin Casuarina Resort & Spa, Grand Cayman (tel. 800/937-8461; www.westincasuarina.com), also opens onto the sands of Seven Mile Beach and is set on its own luxurious grounds. This resort is so complete that some visitors virtually never leave the complex until it's time to catch their plane back home. With excellent facilities for watersports, golf, diving, and dining, it is among the top three resorts in the entire Cayman archipelago.
The Club at Little Cayman, Little Cayman (tel. 345/948-1033; www.theclubatlittlecayman.com), stands on lush grounds and affords the most luxurious living on this sparsely populated island. The private villas here open onto a beach, and the complex has the island's finest pool.
