As South Florida swelters under summer heat, a cooler, more refined escape beckons just over an hour away. With effortless direct flights from Miami to Grand Cayman, this British Overseas Territory is quietly becoming the go-to getaway for those craving barefoot luxury and island charm without the long-haul hassle, and the best months to travel are June – August for fewer crowds and special offers.
Enter: Mandarin Oriental, Grand Cayman — a transformative new resort set to redefine Caribbean elegance. Opening in early 2028, it will span 67 pristine acres at St. James Point, with more than 2,700 feet of uninterrupted oceanfront just 20 minutes from the airport. Close enough for spontaneous weekend trips, yet secluded enough to feel worlds away with a 1h40 min flight time from Miami.
A sophisticated slice of paradise
Far from overcrowded beaches and predictable tourist spots, Grand Cayman offers soft white sands, award-winning dining, and a holistic approach to wellness. The resort will feature 91 guest rooms and 42 private residences — including cliffside Ocean House Residences with sweeping views and Beach House Residences starting at $6 million — thoughtfully designed by Hart Howerton, Meyer Davis, and AW2.
Wellness with a view
Guests can welcome the day with sunrise yoga, swim laps in a sleek fitness pool, or recharge at a spa that extends over the sea. Indoor-outdoor cabanas, vitality pools, and meditation decks invite deep relaxation, while coastal trails, racquet sports, and multiple pools cater to every pace.
A new culinary destination
Already crowned the “Culinary Capital of the Caribbean,” Grand Cayman draws food lovers from around the world. The Mandarin Oriental will add six distinct dining venues: an oceanfront brasserie, a wood-fired pizzeria, and a chic Sunset Bar among them. Its signature restaurant — built around a chef’s counter and exhibition kitchen — promises to be a must-visit for visiting foodies.
A quick flight, a world away
No connections, no stress, step off the plane into turquoise waters, gentle breezes, and world-class hospitality.
South Florida’s new island retreat
Whether it’s a romantic escape, a wellness-focused solo trip, or a luxe family holiday, Grand Cayman offers it all — elevated by Mandarin Oriental’s legendary service. So, pack your breezy resort wear, swimwear, and something polished for sunset drinks and don’t miss Stingray City, Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park, and cocktails at the Mandarin’s oceanview terrace.
This summer, skip the swelter. Find the breeze in Grand Cayman. Your next luxury escape is closer than you think.
