Grand Cayman: Palm Heights
All-Suite Calm on Seven Mile Beach
Palm Heights takes a quieter approach to Seven Mile Beach, an all-suite property built around postcard views in every direction rather than the usual roster of resort amenities. Each oceanview suite comes with its own separate living area and a fully stocked retox and detox bar, with in-room massages and spa treatments available whenever guests would rather not leave the room at all.
Downstairs, Tillies serves traditional Caribbean dishes in a setting as relaxed as the rest of the property, and the water is never far from the conversation, paddleboarding, jet skiing, snorkeling, and freediving are all on offer for guests who want to spend as much time in the sea as on the sand.
