Vida Cayman

We are so grateful to our travel agent who found us this gem of a boutique hotel that had opened just a week before our arrival! VIDA provided everything we were looking for on our vacation. Set off the beaten path, we luxuriated in the seclusion of the beaches and quiet neighborhood feel. Our rather large group felt right at home in the gorgeous suite with three bedrooms and private bathrooms. We made the most of the extremely well-appointed kitchen, and the balcony overlooking the water. The gorgeous views and tranquility of the surroundings were the perfect setting for this resort that centers on health and relaxation. The staff were exceptional and so accommodating to our many requests as we navigated our first trip to Grand Cayman, providing local advice and helping us map out our limited time. We appreciate all their hospitality and would love to return!

Hands down the best staycation experience I have ever had. Vida is a new hotel located off Barkers park in Grand Cayman. Barkers is a beautiful, unspoiled nature reserve and one of my favourite places on the Island, well off of the usual tourist locations. The Vida experience fits the location perfectly. Built around the ethos of wellness, its is beautiful, tranquil, intimate and your experience can be tailored to include bespoke activities. We did a private yoga session, massage on our balcony, had a bespoke picnic on the beach and a delicious private dinner on their terrace followed by stargazing and I left feeling the most relaxed that I have ever felt. However, the best part were the staff led by the manager Natalia whose attention to detail and personal touch elevated the whole experience.

I write very few reviews but one I felt I should write. This is a new establishment to the Grand Cayman, slightly outside some of the main areas you might choose but all the better for it - not least in that nothing is very far away. It is a beautiful boutique hotel with stylish rooms. The food is excellent. The service is personal and attentive without being in anyway overbearing. All of the team are friendly and wanting you to enjoy your stay. Highly recommend.

We enjoyed a wonderful “staycation” birthday weekend with friends at VIDA. The unit has beautiful interior design, comfortable & practical for living, filled with luxury amenities & stunning ocean views. All the bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms with walk-in showers. On Friday night we enjoyed a barbecue by the pool area which is perfectly equipped with everything you might need to have a good time. We ordered delicious sides for 8 people from the restaurant at VIDA called Nourish which Chef Mo already had waiting in the fridge of our unit when we checked in. Being completely pet friendly our fur-baby accompanied us for the weekend. Natalia ensured all her needs were taken care of, she was welcomed with special treats, feeding bowls & a doggy bed. She really enjoyed the long walks at Barkers National Park. My husband and I both kitesurf so VIDAs location is ideally close to Kitesurf Cayman. Natalia provided safe storage for our gear and we were able to rinse & dry everything afterwards while relaxing in the hot tub. We had the perfect time! VIDA will definitely see us again 🐾

We were fortunate to have stumbled upon this hotel to celebrate birthdays. We were pleasantly surprised that within a day a booking, Natalie, the hotel manager reached out and was trying to find ways to make our birthday celebrations memorable. As soon as we arrived, I knew we picked the right hotel, because when you walk through the front door you are transported into an oasis. The suites have amazing views of the ocean, are very spacious, and have luxurious furnishing. The hotel is also 10min drive from all the major attractions. We are already planning a trip back next year and I can guarantee we will be staying at Vida Cayman.

FABULOUS stay with VIDA. Is newly opened so everything fresh and new in the super apartments. Done to a top class standard.Natalia and team look after your every need. Super service all round and everyone is so friendly. Nothing is too much trouble. We went for breakfast included and would recommend - lovely menu and food. We are kite surfers and scuba divers and enjoyed being able to do both sports yet live in luxury in VIDA when not out on or in the water. Thank you VIDA.

We have been waiting for Vida to open and the wait was worth it! We have spent a fair amount of time on Grand Cayman over the years but have found Seven Mile Beach is just getting too frantic. Vida is located about 20 minutes from the airport out in West Bay next to Barker's National Park. It's not like a National Park in the US, but it is a large piece of property with lots of activities. Also, Vida is "almost" across the street from Pappagallo's Italian Restaurant. Vida is brand new construction and appears to have maybe 20-25 rooms, a small health-oriented restaurant and lots of wellness classes. Note, they are not open for dinner yet or have their liquor license, but it appears to only be a few days away. Breakfast was plentiful and fresh, with lots of local flavors. Although not directly on the beach, it is just a short walk on a path down to the water. The outside area had a sleek pool and hot tub in addition to an area to just lay in about 4" of water. The landscaping just seemed to envelop you with wonderful island charm and of course there’s a hammock. The staff was incredibly starting at the top with the manger Natalia and right down through everyone on the staff. The room was large with a kitchenette and slider out to a huge balcony. The furniture was sleek and in keeping with the minimalist vibe. We loved the artwork over the bed and in the hotel in general! A taste of old Cayman, away from it all. I think the attached photo of horses riding past the front of the property speaks to that. The old and the new, relaxing, wellness all combine to make Vida an ideal place to stay!
