I recently spent two weeks in the Cayman Islands and found that many Brits have chosen to move across the pond and make a life there.

The Cayman Islands are made up of three islands in the western Caribbean Sea. Grand Cayman, the largest island (and the one I visited) is known for its beach resorts and scuba diving/snorkelling spots. Cayman Brac is a popular set-off point for deep-sea fishing excursions and Little Cayman, which is the smallest island, is home to a huge array of wildlife. The beautiful Caribbean location offers stunning beaches, a healthy way of living and ultimately a greater quality of life. The famous Seven Mile Beach is probably the cleanest beach I’ve ever seen, with crystal blue waters and no litter in site.

By boat you can easily navigate your way around the island, reaching various spots like Starfish Point, Stingray City and Rum Point.

During my time there I saw starfish up close and personal and also swam with the stingrays. I also sampled the local rum and tried their popular drink known as a mud slide, made with vodka, Kahlua, Baileys and ice to mix.

The food included lots of fresh fish, with Mahi-Mahi often being the catch of the day, jerk chicken and many acai bowls.

The island’s culture is a real blend of British, Jamaican and Afro-Caribbean influences. Family, religion and respect are their central values and there are a mix of dialects that are spoken, with English being the official language.

Although I was there on holiday, I could easily see how people would enjoy living there, the slow and relaxed pace mixed with fresh food and easy living appeals to those looking to live out a healthy existence, but there is of course one big kicker.

Money: the cost of living in the British Overseas Territory is incredibly high due to various factors such as the cost of importing produce, high demand and a need for desirable amenities in a thriving financial sector.

Because of the Cayman Island’s remote location and small size, the pricing of import increases significantly.

However, I saw many beautiful sunsets and have never seen so many stars at night, I would urge anyone who gets the chance to go and experience the place – the people were very friendly too.
