Little Cayman, Cayman Islands It’s half-an-hour away form Grand Cayman but a universe away from the rest of the Caribbean. This tiny gem isn’t the Caribbean as it once was: it’s the Caribbean as you always imagined it would be, the true castaway fantasy. There are less than 200 people here on most days, and that tiny-island personality (along with two terrific hotels, the Southern Cross Club and the Little Cayman Beach Resort, make for an unforgettable trip.
