Day 1

Pedro St James
Visiting Pedro St. James was really special. The views, the history, and the chill vibe made it the perfect spot to slow down and just take it all in. The grounds are gorgeous, and I loved checking out the traditional Caymanian kitchen, it’s such a cool way to see how they used to cook back in the day. I’d definitely recommend it for families too, plenty of space to explore and learn. A quiet, meaningful stop with some seriously beautiful scenery.

Cayman Spirits Co.
Cayman Spirits Co. was such a fun stop! We got to try a bunch of different rums, my favorite was the coconut and orange, so good. They also take you to the back to show you the whole process, which was super cool to see. It’s laid-back, local, and definitely worth checking out if you’re into rum or just want to try something a little different on the island.

Heritage Kitchen
Heritage Kitchen is the perfect spot to enjoy a meal with ocean views. The place is colorful and full of character, and they always have some great specials. We really loved the mahi-mahi prepared the Cayman way, and the lobster was something else, seriously delicious. It’s a great spot to soak in the flavors and the scenery all at once.

Tortuga Rum Company Ltd
Tortuga Rum Company is a fun stop if you want to try the famous rum cakes. You can usually see how they bake them, though when we went it wasn’t baking day, so definitely check ahead. But you can still sample most of the flavors they have for sale, which is a real treat. It’s a fun experience and definitely something to add to your must-do list when visiting the Cayman Islands.

Door No. 4 feels like one of those spots you’re happy to stumble on. The drinks are creative and really well made, and the space has a relaxed, easygoing feel. The outdoor area is especially nice, and there’s even a little spot nearby where kids can hang out while you enjoy your drink. It’s a great place to unwind without feeling like you have to rush.

The Brasserie
The Brasserie is such a cool spot, but what really blew me away was their special night Chef’s Jam Dinner where five of the island’s top chefs come together. I got to experience a five-course meal that was next level. Plus, their gardens are right there on site. They grow their own veggies and ingredients, which makes everything feel fresh and connected to the island. Definitely a must-try if you want something really special in the Cayman Islands.
