Intimate
This secluded cluster of four luxury cottages nestles on a rarely visited stretch of coastline in West Bay. Each cottage is fresh and modern with every amenity you could require and has two double bedrooms and two en suite bathrooms. The staff is friendly and the gardens are vibrant and hugely popular with colourful butterflies. The spa pavilion is discreetly placed amongst the sea grape trees and makes a welcome retreat from the sun, with a menu to satisfy the most hedonistic of tastes and shutters opening on to perfect views of the azure sea. Whilst Cotton Tree can host larger weddings it really lends itself to a smaller group seated around the white gazebo where couples can take their vows looking out to the sea.
Glamorous
A favourite with celebrities and gracefully set amidst 144 acres of land stretching from sea to sea; from the Caribbean to the North Sound, the Ritz Carlton can cater to any taste though obviously ideal for old school Hollywood glamour. Couples can choose between getting married on the beach, in the wedding gazebo surrounded by tropical flowers, on the waterway, by the grand staircase, in the ballroom
Silver Rain, the La Prairie Spa occupies 20,000 square feet and is not to be missed for pre wedding pampering.
Bohemian Chic
Perfect for couples in search of an uber chic, barefoot style of wedding. The outdoor area overlooking the sea and the white sand of seven mile beach lends itself beautifully to stylish lounge chairs and low tables for late night drinks. The hotel is comprised of large three-bedroom, three bathroom luxury villas with gourmet kitchens which can be fully stocked upon request.
A Scent Sensation
Queen Elizabeth II Botanic Park
Since Queen Elizabeth II opened the park in 1994 it has grown and flourished into an oasis of fragrance and colour for Cayman Parrots and rare blue Iguanas. It is also famously the only place in the world that the Ghost Orchid can be found.
The Floral Colour Garden is irresistibly romantic and makes a perfect location for a wedding reception; the flower displays begin with pink but slowly evolve through the colour spectrum as you walk along the shaded path until you reach an open space of grass leading up to a white gazebo which over looks sun-soaked lily ponds where the theme rather appropriately is blue. However the tropical gardens occupy 65 acres and can cater to any size of wedding.
Take the Plunge
Underwater Dive Weddings
Finally, for couples after a wedding with a real difference, Underwater Dive Weddings in the warm, clear waters surrounding the Cayman Islands are increasingly popular possibly due to it being one of the most beautiful places in Cayman. An aisle can be created for the bride from pink and white conch shells, an ancient anchor doubles as an anchor and blackboards are provided for the bride and groom to write their vows on. The Cayman Islands have some of the worlds finest marine life and reefs so expect some surprise witnesses.
