Grand Cayman occupies 76 square miles of paradise, set in an emerald sea and surrounded by living coral reefs.
Cayman comes from the word Caymanas, derived from the Carib word for marine crocodile. Sir Francis Drake visited the island in 1585 and reported sighting " great serpents called Caymanas, like large lizards, which are edible". Legends of 18th Century pirates, including treasure caches left behind by Edward " Blackbeard" Teach, and Henry Morgan continue to be romantic but are historically questionable.
Attaining an elevation of just 60 feet, this island is actually a limestone outcropping that is the top of a submerged mountain. Just north of Grand Cayman the ocean plunges to a depth of four miles.
Today's visitors to Grand Cayman enjoy some of the best snorkeling, scuba diving, and deep-sea fishing in the entire Caribbean. All water sports are available as are submarine voyages beneath the surface. Grand Cayman also offers diversions for golfers and shoppers. Nightlife on the island is limited but lively.

LaCURE properties on Grand Cayman are casual beach cottages and superior villas set on the white sands of Seven Mile Beach and the beaches of Cayman Kai, as well as a few secret spots on the south shore. These inviting properties come without staff and are therefore ideal hideaways for escapists and independent beachcombers.
