Rip Kai by Grand Cayman Villas

===> PROPERTY OVERVIEW <===
Magnificent gated & walled luxury estate with a deep menu of A/V tech, guest services & amenities. Attention to detail and optional staffing or chef options give Rip Kai a micro-resort feel. A convenient oceanfront location in Rum Point on two acres of elevated sand offers our guests serene panoramic views, excellent snorkeling, and long walks on the beach. 5-minute drive, or 10-minute bike ride, west to the Rum Point Club and Kaibo Marina for beachfront dining, watersports, and charter excursions to Stingray City.

The vacation experience for our Luxury Platinum Collection villas begins with a group airport greeting by a professional chauffeur and a 28-seat mini-coach (7-day stay required). Our on-island hospitality team can coordinate the delivery of your rental vehicles to the villa in advance. The villa's driveway has plenty of off-street and covered parking for 4-5 vehicles.

Rip Kai is remote enough to be private, but also convenient to local restaurants, beach bars, water sports & services. Private transport options are available for dinner reservations in the eastern districts. Includes access to our private guest-only fitness center, a short drive away at our welcome center.

The owners purposefully designed & decorated Rip Kai for large, extended families/groups and those celebrating milestone events, with luxury, privacy, tech, and connectivity being primary considerations.

Rip Kai offers our Platinum Experience menu of services & amenities (click the Guest Services tab) with 1x mid-week light housekeeping (7 day stay minimum required), water toys, beach volleyball, beach games, and add-on menus of optional personal services & convenience items.

==> GETTING AROUND <==
A rental car is highly recommended. Taxi cabs are unreliable and expensive outside of town and Seven Mile Beach. Plus, there is no Uber or Lyft on the island. For rental cars, we recommend Budget Cayman, Avis, Marshalls, or Hertz.

==> DAY TRIPPING <==
Cayman Ferries operates daily water taxis departing from the Kaibo Marina to Camana Bay. Perfect for day trips to Seven Mile Beach or shopping excursions at Camana Bay. Download their app to purchase your tickets in advance. Just be sure to make it back for the return voyage across the sound!

==> BEACH NOTES <==
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Crown owns up to the high watermark. Be advised, the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images displayed due to shifting weather and tide patterns. The next-door beach is also always available for your use. We advise guests to wear foot protection (pool socks or aqua shoes) when entering the ocean to avoid injury on coral heads, ironshore, or rocks.
