Best Beachfront. You won’t regret spending your nights at Kaiku, one of the coziest options in the territory. One of the things we like the most about this villa is its location. As a beachfront property, it allowed us to access the beach easily. Not to mention, it also has a private dock with two kayaks. If going to the beach sounds too tiring, you can swim in the shaded swimming pool or soak in the hot tub to relax without being disturbed.
Meanwhile, the open-air gazebo shades the dining area, and there’s also an outdoor kitchen nearby. Like other luxury Cayman villas, the living area on this property is nothing short of spacious. It has a flat-screen TV, a sound system, and a comfy seating area. It was our go-to spot whenever we wanted to gather and spend some quality time. Not to mention, there’s also a media room where everyone can enjoy their favorite movies.
Moreover, there are five bright bedrooms in the Main House, and each of them comes with an en-suite bathroom. My favorite, however, is the beachfront bedroom, which boasts an oceanfront balcony.

When we were hungry, we would whip up some dishes in the well-equipped kitchen. Also, you can find four bedrooms with a king-sized bed on the main level, including the master suite.

With an exceptionally lavish setting and jaw-dropping amenities, this villa is the ultimate destination for travelers longing for privacy, luxury, and pampering. We were lucky enough to be able to spend a few nights at this palatial accommodation.
Thanks to its 48,000 square feet of interior space, it can easily accommodate up to 16 people. Furthermore, this four-level European estate also provided us with a serene and polished atmosphere, mostly because of its modern furniture and huge glass windows. We think the basement is perfect for families and has plenty of spots for your kids to play, including a kids’ playroom, games room, and more. The heart of this villa is none other than its 5,000 sq ft great room, which offers views of the Caribbean Sea. It’s safe to say that it’s our favorite spot on the property.
“Kempa Caribe is hands down the fanciest villa I’ve ever encountered. It’s not only huge but also has every single amenity you can think of. Staying here will make you feel like you’re the richest person on Earth.”
