Description

The Seven Wonders on Seven Mile Beach at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman have captured the imagination of travelers worldwide.

Featuring the first La Prairie Spa in the Caribbean, the Ambassadors of the Environment by Jean-Michel Cousteau family program, a tennis center designed by Nick Bollettieri, a golf course designed by Greg Norman, and five restaurants including two by Eric Ripert of Le Bernardin.

Accommodations

Guests of The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman are reminded of the tropical latitude by design touches that give each room and suite a distinct sense of place.

The resort has a total of 365 guest rooms including 11 suites, The Ritz-Carlton Suite and The Ritz-Carlton Club Level.

Special considerations have been made to accommodate Ritz-Carlton guests who visit Grand Cayman with their families. King rooms feature a twin loveseat that folds out into a bed, which will eliminate the need for parents to order rollaway beds for small children, and double rooms feature two Queen beds.

The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman offers guests yet another accommodation choice: The Reserve. Consisting of 24 fully-furnished oceanfront and oceanview vacation homes with two - three bedrooms, chef's kitchens and spacious balconies, The Reserve provides the perfect option for guests looking for the space and comforts of a private vacation home with the amenities of a five-star resort.

Dining

Blue by Eric Ripert is both a culinary journey into the deep transparent Caribbean waters and a fine dining discovery of seafood.

Fish is elevated from the perfect to the sublime when every activity in the kitchen centers on maximizing the promise of its quality and freshness. Only the finest olive oils and most delicate herb-infused flavorings are allowed to mingle with fish that has traveled from boat to plate inside 24 hours.

Perwinkle by Eric Ripert named for both the bluish color and the tiny mollusk that lives on land but must stay very near to the sea in order to thrive, Periwinkle by Eric Ripert pays homage to the pleasures of simply prepared seafood.

Recalling Ripert's Andorran and Provençale heritage, the palette of this al fresco grill is shaped by subtle flavorings and creative pairings.

The menu includes "Moules Mariniere", Mussels and Chorizo Steamed in White Wine and Herbs, Watermelon Salad with Buffalo Mozzarella, Chile Oil and Basil and Coconut Marinated Shrimp "Ceviche" with Mango, Fresh Chiles and Herbs.

Periwinkle offers inventive grill selections. Yellowfin tuna can be accented with a Mango Mostarda and accompanied by Tomato Provencal. A Skirt Steak with White Truffle Aioli is grounded by Parmesan French Fries.

Desserts at Periwinkle epitomize the restaurant's culinary creativity. A Fried Banana "Tempura" is presented with Chocolate, Caramel and Citrus Dipping Sauces. Coconut Tapioca is topped with Passion Fruit Sorbet and Basil Syrup.

7 Prime Cuts & Sunsets is home to the Caribbean's finest steaks. The menu at 7 Prime Cuts & Sunsets is underscored with island influences, proving that "steak and potatoes" is anything but expected with seven selections in every category.

Offering only the highest quality cuts, the chefs of 7 Prime Cuts and Sunsets perfectly season them with a selection of sea salts from either the sea surrounding Cayman or international waters.

Creative starches range from Wasabi Mashed Potatoes to traditional Caribbean Peas & Rice to Sting Ray Beer Battered Onion Rings. Seafood lovers need not abstain as they have a selection local catches and perfectly matched delicate sauces.

Caribbean elegance reigns in the Silver Palm Lounge, named for the Cayman Islands' national tree, the silver thatch palm.

Silver Palm offers a broad range of culinary experiences. Guests can enjoy light fare from citrus conch salad to international caviars to foie gras infused with Cuban rum.

Weekends, Silver Palm hosts a traditional tea to honor the Cayman Islands' status as a British Overseas Protected Territory.

To the right of the lounge, the Silver Palm Wine Bar features fine champagnes, a couvenet with an extensive selection of 56 wines by the glass and a martini luge that dramatically dispenses perfectly chilled cocktails.

The ladies and gentlemen of Silver Palm can make recommendations of rare vintages complemented by a card highlighting the complex features of the grape.

At the opposite end of Silver Palm, a menu of silver-themed cocktails enlivens the relaxing Silver Palm Bar. Featuring a humidor stocked with hand-rolled Cuban cigars and a smoking terrace that faces northeast towards Havana, Silver Palm pays homage to all the sensory pleasures of the western Caribbean.

Spa

Silver Rain, a La Prairie Spa provides a brilliant and seductive world of well-being to walk into. Whatever is purest and rarest has been incorporated into both products and services.

The Silver Rain experience provides the "healing waters" Switzerland is renowned for in utterly unique hydrotherapies. La Prairie's own Cellular anti-aging formulas replenish face and body…. exclusive Silver Rain fragrances titillate the senses as you move throughout the spa.

Treatments culled from many cultures indulge body and spirit, as the superb skin science of La Prairie's Swiss Heritage meets the sensual delights of the tropics. These pleasures all provide unique rituals of transformation and the kind of utter luxury expected by those for whom only the best will do.

Silver Rain…. a restorative sanctuary that melds the perfection of Swiss Science, with the languid pleasure-seeking of the Islands, and the pampering par excellence for which both La Prairie and
The Ritz-Carlton are renowned.

This is a Spa like no other in the world.

Awards

Travel + Leisure just named the resort as one of its 15 To Watch in its World's Best Awards.

Conde Nast Traveler includes The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman on its Hot List Hotels 2006 and Blue by Eric Ripert as one of its Hot ListTables 2006.

Golf

One of the most eagerly anticipated features at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman is the Greg Norman golf course, Blue Tip. Open only to guests and Residence owners of The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, Blue Tip will deliver fiercely on its shark pedigree.

Sure to be dubbed a "nine-hole Caribbean monster," the course will rouse golfers with its five long Par Fours into the Caribbean trade winds, which can make a 470-yard hole play like 600.

The 3,515-yard, par 36 course offers five sets of tees for varied play. Blue Tip features five long Par Fours and a 600 yard Par Five. Water comes into play on eight out of nine holes. Carved along a serpentine waterway with sweeping views of the North Sound, Blue Tip at The
Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman is the first course to be constructed on the island in 10 years.

Blue Tip enhances the guest experience with its Golf Caddie Concierge Program. This provides a professional attendant to accompany each golfing group and cater to every wish before, during and after the round. In addition to offering advice on precise yardages, club selection and strategy in handling tricky Caribbean trade winds and water, the caddie cleans clubs, rakes bunkers and repairs divots. The recommendations are particularly handy on the tough Ninth Hole, a short Par Three playing into crosswinds, with an island green guarded by four bunkers and in full view of resort guests at the pool and Periwinkle by Eric Ripert restaurant.
