Shangri-La Bed & Breakfast in West Bay

West Bay is a residential area at the top western end of Grand Cayman with a long meandering coastal road and a maze of narrow streets running through the middle of it. There is a huge mix of different properties, from luxury oceanfront homes and apartments to island cottages.

There are few short-term vacation rentals in West Bay, although Shangri-La Bed & Breakfast, VIDA and Lighthouse Point are worth a mention.

West Bay is nicely away from the hustle and bustle of the Seven Mile Beach area, and you can go horseback riding and cycling along a rugged and little-travelled beach called Barkers, which spans part of the northern tip of West Bay. Barkers Beach is a nice area to get away from it all and is popular with dog walkers and kite surfers.

From horseback riding, to snorkelling, to shore diving and sightseeing.

Lighthouse Point Resort & Residences offer laid back luxury in a quiet setting in West Bay on the ocean, 15 minutes from the airport. There are luxurious 1, 2 and 3 bedroom suites with private patios and full kitchens appointed with all the amenities of home. You'll find a natural sea pool with ocean access and a large fresh water infinity pool on the ocean's edge, complete with a pool deck, lounge chairs and waterfall.

On site, Divetech offers shore and boat diving, while VIVO restaurant offers local, sustainable cuisine. The residences offer 30-ft sliding glass patio doors for ocean views from both your master bedroom and open-concept living room and kitchen. Shore diving and snorkelling could not be easier, with easy ocean access steps from your door, with a dock, ladders and natural sea pool.
