Paradise with a uniquely British flavor. Columbus discovered the Cayman Islands in 1503, calling them "Las Tortugas" (the Turtles) because of the abundance of sea turtles he found there. Much like their early days, the Cayman Islands today are a place where life is lived at a relaxing pace, revolving almost entirely around idle days filled with sand, sun and sea. They are a haven for underwater exploration in dazzling coral reefs... strolling down an astonishingly beautiful white-sand beach...and sipping cooling tropical beverages under a grandly colonnaded cabana. Located on Grand Cayman in the British West Indies, the Hyatt Regency Grand Cayman Resort and Villas is a refuge of tranquillity...nestled on a glorious stretch of Seven Mile Beach.

Cayman Turtle Farm
The only green sea turtle farm of its kind in the world, and the most popular land-based tourist attraction in the Caymans. The islands once had a multitude of turtles (which is why Columbus called the islands "Las Tortugas"), but today these creatures are few in number and are an endangered species. The turtle farm provides the local market with turtle meat and replenishes the waters with hatchling and yearling turtles. Turtles range in size from six ounces to 600 pounds. Northwest Point; 9-3894.

It is unlikely that the British, or anybody else for that matter, would have desired the Cayman Islands quite so much when they were first discovered. Columbus originally named the islands ’Las Tortugas’ (The Turtles) because they were utterly covered in them. More worryingly, the word ’Cayman’ probably derives from the Carib word, ’Caymanas’, meaning ’marine crocodile’, suggesting that the islands were also the favored home of scores of lizards. In addition to this, the Cayman Islands have long been associated with the history of buccaneers and pirates, who once established
hideouts here.
All of this is easy to forget as you luxuriate on wide, sandy beaches with crystal-clear waters that teem with coral reefs and marine creatures. The Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman is particularly popular and deservedly so. Rather than combating pirate invasion, the closest you will probably get to exertion is diving in shipwrecks, walking through rainforest, and letting velvety stingray brush against your legs.
There are three islands in this British Overseas Territory: Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac. The latter two are the smaller of the Cayman islands and were discovered by Columbus in 1503. Sir Francis Drake explored the area in 1586, but it was 1670 before the islands came under full British rule. Grand Cayman was settled from Jamaica by 1672; Little Cayman and Cayman Brac were settled some time later and maintained a separate administration until 1877. The governor of Jamaica held administrative responsibility for the islands until 1962, when Jamaica itself became independent. Since then the islands have had their own governor appointed by the British Crown.
Geography The Cayman Islands are situated in the Caribbean, 290km (180 miles) northwest of Jamaica, 240km (150 miles) south of Cuba and 770km (480 miles) south of Miami. The island country comprises Grand Cayman, the largest and most populous of the islands, and the sister islands of Little Cayman and Cayman Brac, which lie approximately 143km (89 miles) northeast of Grand Cayman and are separated from each other by a channel about 12km (8 miles) wide. The islands are peaks of a subterranean mountain range extending from Cuba towards the Gulf of Honduras. The beaches are said to be the best in the Caribbean, the most notable being Seven Mile Beach on Grand Cayman. Tall pines line many of the beaches; those located on the east and west coasts are equally well protected offshore by the Barrier Reef.
