Guests of this accommodation can take advantage of the benefits included in the Silver Thatch Membership. Contact a Rental Escapes villa specialist for the full list of benefits. Premium amenities are available for a separate charge.

Welcome to Kaiku, a lavishly landscaped, beachfront gated estate in Cayman Kai.

This sprawling villa sits on a double lot consisting of a six-bedroom, two-story main house plus an optional detached two-bedroom guest cottage over a double garage. The cottage is never rented to unrelated guests of the main house. It is an add-on option only for the main house guests.

The luxurious main six bedroom villa can accommodate 12 guests maximum, making it the perfect island retreat for a large family vacation, or a relaxing adult getaway.

Situated on the island's Bioluminescent Bay in lovely Cayman Kai, guests will enjoy calm waters excellent for paddle-boarding and kayaking.

With four bedrooms located on the upper level, one on the lower level, and a new Zen Garden Queen Bedroom, guests will have plenty of space to unwind at the end of the day.

Again, the guest cottage is never rented out separately during your stay. It will be available should your group expand, and you need to add it at the last minute.

With Kaiku's large dock, guests can rent a boat, Hobie cat, or jet skis and simply moor them behind the villa.

Alternatively, should you arrange a chartered cruise or snorkel safari you and your party can be picked up and dropped off from your own dock! No trips to the public docks are necessary.

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.

The cove-front homes in Cayman Kai offer calm serene water for docking a rental boat, permitting charter boat pick-up, or just safe shallow swimming for little children. Adults won’t swim in the cove as nearby Rum Point is too nice by comparison--the water is shallow with a softer bottom and no reef for marine life. You get the boest of both worlds at Kaiku: a private backyard pool with spa, boat dock access, plus proximity to the Rum point Club. There is usually little breeze here to speak of--many homes in Cayman Kai offer a screened porch to keep flying bug and insects at bay.

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, a restaurant bar and grill, a gift shop, and pick-up beach volleyball games. Also, nearby is the Kaibo Yacht Club restaurant, bar and marina. Overall, the area is a great neighborhood dotted with million-dollar oceanfront villas. Lastly, about 20 minutes east we have two large resorts (Morritt's and The Reef) that offer manicured beaches as well as restaurants, a modern grocery store, liquor store, gift shops, a Subway sandwich shop, and a cafe/pastry shop. These two resorts also offer scuba, snorkel trips, jet skis, windsurfing, kiteboarding, oceanfront pools and bar service.

General Grand Cayman Beach Notes

All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically “public” since the Queen owns up to the high watermark and the shoreline quality behind your property may vary seasonally. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website because of the weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use.

Ocean Debris and 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. We try our best to work around mother nature.
