The magic of a Cayman Christmas
The holidays in the Cayman Islands are about more than sunshine and sea, they’re about celebration, connection, and unforgettable flavours.
Across Seven Mile Beach and beyond, the island’s most celebrated chefs prepare Christmas Day brunches that blend fine flavours with breathtaking views. From the effortless elegance of waterfront dining to the grandeur of a five-star resort, Cayman’s Christmas brunches promise a day to remember.
The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman
A Christmas tradition in its own right, the Ritz-Carlton’s Grand Brunch is a showstopper. Held in the elegant ballroom and along ocean-view terraces, guests move from raw bars gleaming with oysters and lobster to carving stations where prime rib, turkey, and glazed ham are served with ceremony.
The live-action chef stations are a delight, think perfectly seared beef Wellington or delicate dim sum, followed by a dessert gallery that’s as much art as it is indulgence.
Crisp Champagne, polished service, and a festive yet graceful atmosphere make this an annual favourite. Reservations are essential as tables fill up quickly.
Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa
For those who prefer their holiday feast with a modern twist, the Christmas Day brunch at Ave is the perfect blend of contemporary design and culinary flair.
The open kitchen hums with energy as chefs prepare hand-rolled sushi, freshly carved roasts, and creative seafood dishes inspired by the Caribbean. The bubbles flow freely, and there’s always a touch of fun from festive cocktails to a playlist that captures the island’s tropical rhythm.
Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with light, giving every table panoramic views of the turquoise Caribbean sea.
Grand Old House
Few places blend history and elegance like Grand Old House. Perched on the water’s edge, this former plantation home offers one of Cayman’s most charming Christmas Day brunches.
The buffet is generous but refined: sushi and ceviche, roast turkey and beef, fragrant curries, local catch, and a dazzling dessert spread to end the meal on a high note.
Between courses, guests can step onto the oceanfront terrace, glass in hand, and watch the waves roll in. It’s festive without fuss, sophisticated without pretension.
The Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa
With its sweeping beach views and crisp white linens, The Westin’s Christmas brunch is as bright and beautiful as a Caribbean morning.
Expect a lavish seafood bar of crab claws and ceviche, a carving station with perfectly roasted turkey, and desserts that sparkle with holiday flair.
The service is seamless, the atmosphere refined, and the setting, just steps from the sand, captures the best of Cayman’s beachfront elegance.
Tillies at Palm Heights
Every brunch at Tillies feels like a celebration, and Christmas Day is no exception.
This stylish beachside restaurant reimagines the traditional feast with a light, coastal spirit. Expect platters of oysters, vibrant salads, Caribbean seafood, and beautifully presented vegan dishes, all framed by the turquoise horizon of Seven Mile Beach.
The mood is effortlessly chic: linen shirts, laughter, clinking glasses, and music that drifts on the sea breeze. Dessert is an event in itself artful, decadent, and completely unforgettable.
A Cayman Christmas to Remember
Whether you’re raising a glass beneath the palms at Tillies, savouring sushi at Seafire, or enjoying the grandeur of The Ritz-Carlton, Cayman’s Christmas Day brunches offer unforgettable flavours, breathtaking views, and the warmth of Cayman hospitality.
Each venue captures the joy of the season with unmistakable Caymanian flair, a feast for the senses, and a reminder that in Cayman, Christmas comes to life in the most unforgettable ways.
