Hot spots include LUCA, The Ritz-Carlton, Marriott Beach Resort, the Westin, the Kimpton Seafire, Agua, Grand Old House and many more. Savour copious amounts of incredible food and free flowing bubbles, and then sleep it off on the beach or by the pool for a seriously relaxing day!

Round the Island Race

Whether you’re a sailor or a spectator, Cayman’s annual Easter Regatta is sure to thrill. This round the island race is in its 57th year and is organised by the Cayman Islands Sailing Club and sponsored by Harbour House Marina. On Good Friday, the boats will leave the North Sound and sail over 41 miles east. The race finishes with Prizegiving at Sunset House from around 3pm-3.30pm (if wind conditions are good). On Easter Saturday some of the boats will participate in the Back to the Sound Race, departing from the previous day’s finish line and race the 12 miles round to the North Sound, completing the circle round the Island. It’s a great opportunity to see local sailors in action and enjoy some tropical drinks. Crew places are often available for the event. For more information call (345) 916 6298 or email admin@sailing.ky.

Carry on Camping

Camping on Cayman’s beaches over Easter is traditional in the Cayman Islands. Every year you will see hundreds, if not thousands of people camping on beaches all over the Cayman Islands. It’s a great opportunity for families and friends to get together and reminisce about simpler times, as well as enjoy the natural beauty of the Cayman coastline. Families start marking their spot in the days leading up to Good Friday, when they move in and begin a long weekend of fun filled activities such as swimming, fishing, playing games, barbecuing and generally have a great time!

Staycations on the North Side or in the Eastern Districts are very popular amongst residents over the Easter break.

Take advantage of all the activities available in the Eastern Districts for a weekend filled with adventure. Refuel with a BBQ at home or a fantastic meal at Kaibo or Rum Point. A wonderful weekend away from everyday life!
