When you finally get to step away from your desk and turn your out-of-office on, the last thing you want to do is worry about actually being able to relax on vacation. So, stop the anxiety-inducing stress, book your flight and unwind, because chilling out is what we do best in Cayman. Haven’t started planning your trip, yet? Here are our top five reasons why Cayman should be your top choice for your next wellness retreat.
Island Time
Relaxed living is a part of our culture. The second your flight touches down on Island, you’ll be encouraged to slow down and enjoy each moment as it comes. So, you can stop watching the clock because you’re on local island time, my friend.
Slow down and take a walk along one of our postcard worthy beaches or head to East End and watch the sunset by Lover’s Wall and fit in some ‘me time.’
You are spoiled for choice when it comes to spas in Cayman. From Tips and Toes, in the heart of George Town, to La Prairie, of the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman, no matter your budget, a first-class massage or a soothing spa relaxation room is around every corner - if you know where to go!
If a spa is not your idea of self-care, pick up a book at Books and Books, grab a coffee or smoothie at Jessie’s Juice and sit on a rocking chair overlooking the Camana Bay dock for a peaceful afternoon under the sun. Pure bliss.
Class Acts
Maybe you need a little extra guidance on how to unwind. Don’t worry! There are tons of wellness classes taking place on a daily basis here. From yoga to cooking classes, there will be something for you to enjoy however you wish to relax.
Bliss Living and Yoga and Cayman Yoga Club both offer a wide range of daily classes including Power Vinyasa, Hot Yoga and Flow and Meditation. Feeling more adventurous? Take your savasana on to the cool waters of the Caribbean Sea with paddle board yoga by Vitamin Sea. Learn how to fuel your wellness journey with one of the hands-on cooking classes offered by Bon Vivant.
Beach Please
No matter what part of the island you find yourself on, you are bound to be nearby one of our pristine, white-sand beaches. Our very own Seven Mile beach has been recognized as one of the best in the world, year after year. Don’t forget to make a stop by Starfish Point to get your photo with some of their namesake residence. Just be sure to keep these beauties under the water, where they belong.
