The high net worth professionals of the banks, along with wealthy retirees from different parts of the world who have chosen to settle down in the sunny Caribbean environs of the Cayman, constitute an elite community who can afford to pay well for land and villas they are looking for on the different islands of the Cayman
Cayman Islands are the nearest Caribbean destination from mainland US, being just one hour by flight from Miami. The major island of the group, Grand Cayman, boasts of the Robert Owen International Airport with regular flights to major North American destinations as well as to London Heathrow.

Cayman Real Estate
Cayman real estate includes Crown’s land products on all the three islands in the Cayman viz. Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. These are projects that offer developed land plots attractively located at or near beaches or other pleasing water bodies. All plots come with infrastructure such as asphalt roads and access to electric power.
The plots in these specific projects also come with a full suite of architectural and construction drawings. Each plot has a specific, pre-approved, design allocated to it, which might be a single level or split level villa design, or a townhouse design, blending beautifully into the Caribbean environment.
For those who are interested, the property developers will get all needed permits and manage the construction and hand over a complete villa or townhouse. However, many investors prefer to keep the land as it is, and realize their returns by selling it when prices rise. There are several factors that can lead to land price increases as explained in the post on Cayman Land.
The Crown’s properties currently available include:
- The Dubli Golf & Beach Resort on the Grand Cayman Island with a four-hole golf course, beach club and resort condominium in addition to developed land plots. Residents have private access to the Rum Point Beach facing the project.
- The Little Dolphin Estate on the Cayman Brac not far from the northern beaches of the island. Cayman Brac has dense Karsh forests with walking and hiking trails, several caves that are popular attractions for cave explorers and a 140 feet high, steeply vertical cliff that is a world class rock climbing facility.
- The Little Cayman Estate on the Little Cayman Island that faces the North Coast Beach and the Lakeside Estate on the banks of the Sandy Point Lake on the same island.
You can buy land plots with an interest-free finance offered by the real estate developers and opt to pay the price in five yearly installments. Or you can pay the price in full using your SIPP funds as the Crown’s land products in the Cayman, a British Overseas Territory, qualifies as an approved asset for investing SIPP funds.
The developers also offer a guaranteed return that works out to 30 or 20 percent over a five year period depending on whether you pay the price in full or five yearly installments. The offer is available to those who give the developers an option to buy back the property during the five years, at a price that is 20 percent over the price you paid.
