(CMR) The Cayman Islands proudly started 2024 with two impressive honors: topping Forbes Travel Guide’s list of Top 24 Destinations for 2024 and being recognized as the #8 Nature Destination in the world according to Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best 2024 Travellers’ Choice Awards, the highest ranking Caribbean destination amongst the 25 countries listed.
Known as the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, Forbes highlighted Grand Cayman as a “foodie’s paradise” with nods to the Ritz-Carlton’s Blue by Eric Ripert, the only Five Diamond restaurant in the Caribbean, and the novel Library by the Sea bar at Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa.
Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best is the greatest honor bestowed by Tripadvisor, reflecting the authentic experiences and opinions of global travelers who have immersed themselves in the breathtaking landscapes of the Cayman Islands.
The Cayman Islands is described as boasting a vibrant culinary and bar scene, phenomenal cultural attractions, and sophisticated vibes, with the three islands also offering a plethora of natural wonders on both land and sea, promising an extraordinary experience for visitors.
Grand Cayman is said to entice visitors with its pristine beaches from the famous Seven Mile Beach and Rum Point and warm, crystal-clear waters. Cayman Brac, on the other hand, features magnificent views from its majestic Bluff and offers outdoor adventures from rock climbing to spelunking. Little Cayman enchants with its unspoiled charm and diverse marine life, making it a haven for diving enthusiasts.
“I can’t think of a better way to kick off the New Year than with two extraordinary honors. To be recognized as the top destination for 2024 in Forbes Travel Guide and to be named in Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best 2024 Travellers’ Choice Awards is a testament to the natural beauty and diverse experiences that the Cayman Islands offer,” said Rosa Harris, Director of Tourism.
“It gives us great pride that the opinions of travelers who have explored the wonders of the Cayman Islands have led to this honor. We invite everyone to discover the captivating treasures that make our islands a truly special destination,” she added.
