A Cayman Icon: The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman Celebrates Condé Nast 2025 Award

Condé Nast Traveller’s 2025 Readers’ Choice Awards have once again celebrated the finest resorts across the Caribbean, Central and South America. Among them, The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman has earned a distinguished 6th place. It’s a well-deserved accolade for a resort that continues to define luxury in the Cayman Islands nearly two decades after its debut.

Stretching along the powder-soft sands of Seven Mile Beach, The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman has long been a cornerstone of the island’s hospitality scene. Since opening its doors in 2006, it has set the standard for service, design, and island elegance, becoming a familiar part of Cayman life for both residents and visitors alike.

At Oasis, we’ve watched that journey with genuine affection. Different members of our team have stayed at the Ritz-Carlton over the years — from its early days shortly after opening to more recent visits following its transformation. When Oasis was incorporated in 2008, the resort already stood as a symbol of Grand Cayman’s refined spirit. Today, its presence remains just as inspiring.

A Renewed Sense of Sophistication

Following a US $50 million renovation, the Ritz-Carlton has emerged with a renewed sense of sophistication. Guest rooms and suites have been reimagined with soft coastal palettes and natural textures, while its culinary and wellness spaces feel effortlessly contemporary. The design speaks to Cayman’s connection with the sea, art, and light — all while preserving the resort’s signature sense of calm.

The resort’s enduring appeal lies in its balance between grandeur and intimacy. From the celebrated Blue by Eric Ripert to the serene spa and its world-class golf course, every detail reflects the island’s quiet commitment to quality. It’s no surprise that Condé Nast Traveller’s readers have ranked it among the very best in the region.

A Shared Story on Seven Mile Beach

For the team at Oasis, this recognition carries personal meaning. The Ritz-Carlton has been part of Cayman’s story for as long as we’ve been part of it too, a place we’ve admired and enjoyed over the years. Even when we’re not staying there, one of our favourite Cayman rituals is walking down Seven Mile Beach at sunset to enjoy a cocktail at the new St. June Beach Bar, where the view and the service are just as memorable as the drinks themselves.

As The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman celebrates another international accolade, it also reflects the island’s broader story - one of innovation, hospitality, and enduring charm. For us at Oasis, it’s both a proud moment and a reminder of why Grand Cayman continues to captivate travellers—and inspire new residents—from around the world.
