Living in the Cayman Islands?

  • The Cayman Islands offer a unique combination of economic stability, tropical nature and an international community. Living here certainly has its advantages, but there are also challenges to consider. Most people live on Grand Cayman, where you can choose from luxury villas on the beach to apartments in the capital.
  • Education: there are good international schools.
  • Expat community: a large part of the population consists of expats, mainly from Canada, the US, the UK and the Philippines. This creates a wide network of international groups and communities. Safety: The Cayman Islands are known as one of the safest places in the Caribbean. Crime is low, especially compared to other islands in the region.
  • Culture: Caribbean traditions with British, and especially a good dose of American, influences. Christian traditions are strong and you will also find local traditions.
  • Be aware: life here is expensive, there is little cultural diversity (except perhaps the expat community) and career opportunities can feel limited if you are not in the financial or tourism sector.
  • Health insurance: Healthcare is excellent and modern, but certainly not cheap. So make sure you have your own comprehensive health insurance.
