===> PROPERTY OVERVIEW <===
Welcome to SunRays, a newly built, luxury oceanfront estate located directly on a barefoot beach with calm waters and sunset views. This magnificent new villa lacks nothing and checks just about every box imaginable for a sumptuous island vacation.
The vacation experience for our Luxury Platinum Collection villas begins with a group airport greeting by a professional chauffeur and a 28-seat mini-coach (7-day min stay). Our on-island hospitality team can coordinate the delivery of your rental vehicles to the villa in advance. The villa's driveway has plenty of off-street and covered parking for 4-5 vehicles.
Located in the resort neighborhood of Cayman Kai, guests can expect very light vehicle traffic and short walking distances to the Rum Point Club, and the Kaibo. A luxe beach dining destination, Kaibo provides casual beachfront dining or elegant fine dining across two restaurants. Kaibo also features watersport rentals and ferry service to Camana Bay for day trips.
Pre-stocking the villa with groceries and beverages is also a popular choice by our guests, as is having our team coordinate in-villa dining with a private chef, or family-style cook, for a few nights. Brunch service can also be arranged.
SunRays is a three-story villa measuring 7,200 square feet indoors with another 5,000 square feet of outdoor living and entertaining areas.
The oceanfront lanai overlooks the pool and white-sandy beachfront with a private dock and putting green. Hone your chipping and putting game amid sunny oceanfront views.
The outdoor kitchen and dining area are screened. The pool and spa areas are elevated to offer privacy from any passersby on the beach as well as amazing sunset views at cocktail hour while sitting on the submerged bench seats in the pool or spa (the spa is heated Nov 15 - Apr 15).
SunRays offers privacy, luxury amenities, and convenience as well as a quintessential barefoot swimming beach and private dock all with on-island hospitality support.

==> GETTING AROUND <==
A rental car is highly recommended. Taxi cabs are unreliable and expensive outside of town and Seven Mile Beach. Plus, there is no Uber or Lyft on the island. For rental cars, we recommend Budget Cayman, Avis, Marshalls, or Hertz.
==> DAY TRIPPING <==
Cayman Ferries operates daily water taxis departing from the Kaibo Marina to Camana Bay. Perfect for day trips to Seven Mile Beach or shopping excursions at Camana Bay. Download their app to purchase your tickets in advance. Just be sure to make it back for the return voyage across the sound!
==> BEACH NOTES <==
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high watermark. Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to shifting weather and tide patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We advise guests to wear foot protection (pool socks or aqua shoes) when entering the ocean to avoid injury on coral heads, ironshore, or rocks.
