*** PROPERTY DESCRIPTION ***
Welcome to Kaia Kamina, a luxury oceanfront estate among the swaying palm trees and tropical vistas of beautiful Cayman Kai.
The vacation experience for our Luxury Platinum Collection villas begins with a group airport greeting by a professional chauffeur and a 28-seat mini-coach (7-night min. stay required). Our on-island hospitality team can coordinate the delivery of your rental vehicles to the villa in advance. The villa's driveway has plenty of off-street and covered parking for 4-5 vehicles.
Kaia Kamina is a true seaside majesty. This remarkable beachfront villa offers 8,000 square feet of modern West Indies living space that will have you feeling as if you are on your own boutique resort!

The heated beachfront infinity pool and protected location ensure your privacy and comfort while swimming year-round. You will find plenty of spaces to either cool down from the sun or work on one's tan.
Kaia Kamina sleeps 18 across seven bedrooms.

As the sun sets, a decision awaits: do we enjoy cocktail hour and dinner at home? Or, do we walk over to The Kaibo restaurants for a sunset dinner?
A third choice is to hire our 32-foot World Cat boat for a private charter to Camana Bay or Morgan's Harbour for dinner with cocktails on the way over.
Start your day by visiting Kaibo Beach Espresso for a cup of organic coffee and breakfast. Or, stroll or bike ride to the Rum Point Club, it takes just minutes.
Stop by to enjoy the white sands and clear, shallow waters, or explore the shoreline by kayak, paddleboard, swim fins, or jet ski. The Rum Point Club restaurants reopen in Spring 2023, however, a small beach bar is planned to reopen for the 2022 holidays.
Although quiet and peaceful, Cayman Kai livens up in the evening. You'll notice your neighbors making their way to spots like the Kaibo Beach Bar or Kaibo Upstairs for great food and company. Barefoot Beach BBQs, Luna Del Mar dinners, and themed chef-tasting dinners are popular.
Little ones will love exploring Starfish Point Beach. Starfish dot the tideline at this pristine spot with gentle waters.

*** GETTING AROUND ***

*** DAY TRIPPING ***
Cayman Ferries operates daily water taxis departing from the Kaibo Marina to Camana Bay. Perfect for day trips to Seven Mile Beach or shopping excursions at Camana Bay. Download their app to purchase your tickets in advance. Just be sure to make it back for the return voyage across the sound!

*** VILLA CLEANING & SANITATION ***
All villas are cleaned and sanitized prior to each guest's arrival. We also ask our owners to provide a starter supply of extra cleaning products. Additional housekeeping services can be purchased after booking in 3-hour time blocks. Scheduling may be coordinated with your property manager upon arrival.
*** BEACH NOTES ***
The entire island is only 22 miles wide from west to east, so you are never too far from anywhere on Grand Cayman. All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically "public", in that you can swim anywhere along the coast, even behind the Ritz-Carlton!
The big draw to this area is the proximity to the Rum Point Club, a public beach club that offers a fantastic barefoot beach, water sports, restaurants, a gift shop, and pick-up beach volleyball games. Also, a short walk nearby is the Kaibo Marina featuring a fine dining restaurant, a casual beach bar and grill, and a marina.
Ferry service to Camana Bay departs from the Kaibo Marina, perfect for day trips to Seven Mile Beach!
The homes in Cayman Kai offer serene waters for kayaking or paddle boarding with no waves. You get the best of both worlds at this home: a backyard facing the ocean with an elevated private pool plus a barefoot backyard beachfront.
*** OCEAN DEBRIS & SARGASSUM SEAWEED ***
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival.
Sargassum is not an issue for homes in the Cayman Kai neighborhood.
