Opening soon on the shores of Seven Mile Beach, the Grand Hyatt brand is making its debut in the Cayman Islands with a new oceanfront resort. Located just ten minutes from Owen Roberts International Airport and set along one of the most sought-after stretches of beach in the Caribbean, the Grand Hyatt Grand Cayman Resort & Spa brings together residential-style accommodations, wellness spaces, and a culinary program shaped by its coastal setting.
The project is being led by Trio Architects, a multidisciplinary studio with a portfolio spanning South Florida and the Caribbean. For this property, their design approach centers on open-air structures, seamless sea views, and materials that complement Grand Cayman’s shoreline and natural light. Known for their regional expertise and recent recognition by the International Property Awards and the Architecture MasterPrize, Trio continues to shape hospitality projects that respond to both context and climate. The resort is expected to include more than 350 guest rooms, suites, and branded residences, many offering views of the Caribbean Sea.
Amenities will include a 9,000-square-foot destination spa with indoor-outdoor treatment rooms, wellness facilities, and three pools outdoor pools with adjacent cabanas and landscaped areas designed to extend the guest experience beyond the beach. In addition to spa and leisure offerings, guests will find on-site retail, a screening room, and flexible indoor–outdoor event space suitable for weddings, meetings, and group retreats.
Hyatt has confirmed that the resort’s six food and beverage venues will balance regional influence with broader international palettes, with a focus on fresh seafood and open-air service. Breadkind will serve Italian- and Caymanian-style plates alongside espresso and juice-based beverages, while Brasa will offer seafood and island-inspired cuisine and cocktails. Salt & Cider is set to feature an all-day, globally inspired menu in a casual setting. Additional venues include Hi Tide Rooftop Bar with a menu of raw and cured items, Lo Tide Pool Bar & Restaurant serving Mexican-inspired drinks and grilled fare, and the Lobby Bar offering cocktails and light bites.
Guests will be within close reach of the island’s major outdoor attractions, including paddleboarding routes, Stingray City, Rum Point, and the Wreck of the Gamma dive site located just offshore. While several public-facing announcements continue to cite a fall 2025 opening, Hyatt’s official booking site is currently accepting reservations beginning April 1, 2026.
