Forbes Travel Guide sets the Cayman Islands as #1 on its Top 24 Destinations for 2024 and Tripadvisor honors the destination as a top nature destination in the world

The Cayman Islands proudly started 2024 with two impressive honors: topping Forbes Travel Guide’s list of Top 24 Destinations for 2024 and being recognized as the #8 Nature Destination in the world according to Tripadvisor’s esteemed Best of the Best 2024 Travellers’ Choice Awards, the highest ranking Caribbean destination amongst the 25 countries listed.
 
Known as the Culinary Capital of the Caribbean, Forbes highlighted Grand Cayman as a “foodie’s paradise” with nods to the Ritz-Carlton’s Blue by Eric Ripert, the only Five Diamond restaurant in the Caribbean, and the novel Library by the Sea bar at Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa. Tripadvisor’s Best of the Best is the greatest honor bestowed by Tripadvisor, reflecting the authentic experiences and opinions of global travelers who have immersed themselves in the breathtaking landscapes of the Cayman Islands.
 
Boasting a vibrant culinary and bar scene, phenomenal cultural attractions, and sophisticated vibes, the three islands also offer a plethora of natural wonders on both land and sea, promising an extraordinary experience for visitors.
