With more than 300 days of sunshine per year
and miles of worldfamous white-sand beaches,
it’s no wonder the Cayman Islands attracts
tourists and real estate investors from around
the globe.
A self-governing British Overseas Territory, the Cayman Islands
comprise 3 primary islands, namely Grand Cayman, Little Cayman,
and Cayman Brac. Each of these islands has different attractions of
its own. So, if you are into Scuba diving or snorkeling, head over to
the Grand Cayman. If you like deep-sea fishing more, Cayman Brac
is the island for you, while wildlife lovers can leave for the Little
Cayman.
You will find it very surprising to know that people from more than
100 countries have been moving to the Cayman Islands before
settling down here permanently. This has left a very diverse cultural
mix behind. It is heartening to see this melting pot of cultures in
such a small country, each one celebrating the other’s beliefs and
diversities. Such a diverse mix is contagious and will not let you
leave any time soon.
The fact that the Cayman Islands are tax havens makes them very
popular spots for people all over the world. There is no tax levied on
what you earn, or what you eat and drink, in the Cayman Islands. The
government instead gets its funds from fees and import duties, since
the country has to import everything now and then. Those people
who are highly affluent often invest their money in the country itself
to buy a property or contribute towards the many trusts based
within the Cayman Islands.
This Caribbean destination offers some of the region’s most coveted
properties, from waterfront condos to expansive beachfront villas.
