IF YOU GO

How to get there WestJet operates seasonal non-stop service between Toronto and Grand Cayman (about 4 hours and 10 minutes).

Where to stay The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman revealed a major, $50-million (U.S.) revamp last year, giving their 369 guest rooms a new contemporary feel. Besides Blue by Eric Ripert, sip rare rums at the loungey Silver Palm, have sublime sushi (and fresh wasabi, grated tableside) at Taikun, or retreat to the luxe La Prairie Spa.

What else to do Visit the National Gallery of the Cayman Islands, a little museum showcasing everything from nostalgic realist paintings to contemporary art. Stroll around Camana Bay, the trendy shopping and restaurant district, and snag a waterside table at the lovely Italianand Peruvian-inspired Agua for dinner.
