Rum Point / Cayman Kai Neighborhood
Tours are available for this in the evenings and it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Stingray City is also a rare and unique opportunity to interact with ocean life just off the shores of Cayman Kai in the north sound. Stingray City is actually a shallow sandbar where visitors can handle stingrays, feed them and interact with fish and whatever other animals that happen to be passing through. If you’re really lucky, you might catch a glimpse of a reef or hammerhead shark cruising up from the depths.
There many tour operators that offer tours several times a day. Another must see are the Cayman Crystal Caves. These are naturally occurring caves that feature tours to view the stalactites and the stalagmites. There is also a small underwater lake in the main cave though this is one of the few places in Cayman that you can’t swim. The caves are about a 10-minute drive from Cayman Kai. Go a wee bit further and you can see the native blue iguanas and various other flora and fauna at the Botanical Park. You can also witness starfish in their natural habitat in Cayman Kai.
Just be mindful that you should never remove them from the water as it harms the animals. You can pick one up gently for a quick photo but you must not let them breach the surface and you should be very gentle when you place them back in on the seafloor. Getting hungry after all of this or just working up an appetite in your hammock? Head on over to the Kaibo Yacht Club where they feature island food and drinks as well as brick oven pizza and a coffee shop.
For special dinners you can reserve a table upstairs for a fine dining experience you’re sure not to forget. Rum Point also has tons of activities and a beach bar and is a great place to spend a day. They too have a fine dining restaurant that is open in the evenings and the whole property is undergoing an extensive renovation/updating. They also have long pier where sailboats come and go and visitors take leisurely strolls taking in the picturesque setting.

The real estate in Cayman Kai is some of the most desirable and sought-after in the Cayman Islands. It is predominantly made up of single-family beach houses and larger villas though condos can be found in places like the newer Rum Point Club and at the two phases of the Kaibo condos. The Retreat also has condos. Raw land is available as well but it is becoming scarcer year after year. There is not much by the way of mixed use or commercial land to speak of – though occasionally some land will come to market with a designation such as “hotel/tourism”.
Many of the residents live in Cayman Kai year round but the majority of the homes are vacation homes or rentals that the owners let out to arriving guests.
