A Historic First for the Caribbean

This rare trifecta marks a defining moment for both the resort and the region. The prestigious MICHELIN Key, making its Caribbean debut this year, recognises hotels that represent the pinnacle of design, service, and character — an accolade comparable to a restaurant’s MICHELIN Star. The 2025 MICHELIN Guide for the Caribbean recognised just two Cayman Islands hotels among its global list of standouts, with The Ritz‑Carlton, Grand Cayman standing at the top as the jewel of Seven Mile Beach.

With this achievement, the resort now stands as the Caribbean’s most decorated property — already home to the region’s only Forbes Travel Guide Triple Five-Star status and the only AAA Five Diamond restaurant, Blue by Eric Ripert.

An Ethos of Excellence

This triple crown of global recognition is more than a list of titles — it’s a reflection of the resort’s unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, creativity, and care. “To be recognised by MICHELIN while holding the most distinguished Forbes and AAA accolades showcases our team’s passion and perseverance, and elevates Grand Cayman as one of the world’s premier destinations,” said Cynthia Boyett, Director of Sales and Marketing at The Ritz‑Carlton, Grand Cayman.

The Reimagined Ritz-Carlton Spa & Wellness Experience

Adding to the excitement, the Forbes Five-Star Ritz-Carlton Spa is undergoing a stunning reinvention this winter. The transformation introduces tranquil couple’s treatment suites, hydrotherapy circuits, cold plunge pools, and new signature rituals by 111SKIN and ESPA. Guests can embark on personalised wellness journeys in an elegantly redesigned sanctuary inspired by the Cayman Islands’ lush natural surroundings.

From immersive sound therapy to holistic fitness experiences in the resort’s state-of-the-art wellness centre, every element has been conceived to balance restoration and reconnection — embodying The Ritz-Carlton’s legendary “Ladies and Gentlemen” ethos of service.

A Benchmark for Global Luxury

Located along Seven Mile Beach, the resort’s 144-acre landscape bridges ocean and lagoon, offering not only beachfront beauty but also access to culinary legends and world-class events such as Cayman Cookout by Chef Eric Ripert. Its meticulous design — fusing coastal sophistication with British Caribbean charm — continues to inspire travel connoisseurs from around the world.

As the MICHELIN Guide expands its reach across the Caribbean, The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman does more than set a new standard — it raises the bar entirely. For travellers seeking serenity, fine dining, and the ultimate embodiment of service excellence, this resort represents hospitality at its finest.
