Kaiku
Welcome to Kaiku, arguably the most lavish gated estate in all of Cayman Kai. This sprawling villa sits on a double lot consisting of a 5 bedroom main house, and a detached 2 bedroom guest cottage. This luxurious estate can accommodate 15 guests, 13 adults max, making it the perfect island retreat for a large family vacation, or a relaxing adults getaway.
Vacationing at Kaiku provides guests with the utmost privacy. The main house is not visible from the road or the gated driveway. With no neighbors on either side and a lush sixteen-foot tall palm privacy hedge, guests can relax in complete seclusion throughout their stay.
Situated on a serene cove in Cayman Kai, guests will enjoy calm waters excellent for paddle-boarding and kayaking, and minimal trade winds in the winter. With the Rum Point Club, a mere 300 yards up the street and the Kaibo Marina a short 5-10 minute walk away, guests can relish the best of Cayman Kai.
Kaiku’s Unique Outdoor Features
- Large private beach with vibrant tropical landscaping, manicured grounds, and exterior lighting system
- Spacious freshwater pool (with optional pool heat available in the winter) and poolside (heated) spa
- Expansive pool deck with plush sectional sofa, canopy daybed, reclining chaise loungers, and patio umbrellas, plus an outdoor shower and half bath
- Poolside kitchen with a propane grill, sink, fridge, ice maker, and ample counter space
- Alfresco dining gazebo with table and seating for 4
- 2 complementary tandem kayaks provided (signed waiver required)*
- Large private dock with thatched cabana, outdoor shower, floating jet ski dock, and water entry stairway
With Kaiku's large dock, guests can rent a boat, Hobie cat, or jet skis and simply moor them behind the villa. Alternatively, should you arrange a chartered cruise or snorkel safari you and your party can be picked up and dropped off from your own dock! No trips to the public docks necessary.
The main 5 bedroom house features an open concept design with vaulted ceilings and plenty of large windows allowing natural light to fill the home. Upon entering, you can’t help but gaze across the great room out on to the screened porch with sweeping water views of the cove. A modern kitchen, complete with gourmet appliances, overlooks the dining area and sits adjacent to a sunken living area making it the perfect spot for vacationing chefs to entertain while serving up a home-cooked meal.
With 4 bedrooms located on the upper floor, 2 on each wing of the home, and 1 bedroom on the lower level, guests will have plenty of room to unwind at the end of the day. A nursery, with an attached private zen garden, is located on the lower level. Perfect for guests with infants and toddlers, the nursery comes furnished with 2 cribs, a toddler bed, a changing table, and a nursing rocker.
Kaiku’s Unique Interior Features
- Media Room on the lower level furnished with sectional sofa, flat-screen TV, video game console and sliding door access to the pool deck

Amenities
Beach Notes
The entire island is only 22 miles wide from west to east, so you are never too far from anywhere on Grand Cayman.
The cove-front homes in Cayman Kai offer calm serene water for docking a rental boat, permitting charter boat pick-up, or just safe shallow swimming for little children. Adults won’t swim in the cove as nearby Rum Point is too nice by comparison--the water is shallow with a softer bottom and no reef for marine life.
You get the boest of both worlds at Kaiku: a private backyard pool with spa, boat dock access, plus proximity to the Rum point Club. There is usually little breeze here to speak of--many homes in Cayman Kai offer a screened porch to keep flying bug and insects at bay.
The big draw to this area is the proximity to the Rum Point Club, a public beach club that offers a fantastic barefoot beach, water sports, a restaurant bar and grill, a gift shop, and pick-up beach volleyball games. Also nearby is the Kaibo Yacht Club restaurant, bar and marina. Overall, the area is a great neighborhood dotted with million-dollar oceanfront villas.
Lastly, about 20 minutes east we have 2 large resorts (Morritt's and The Reef) that offer manicured beaches as well as restaurants, a modern grocery store, liquor store, gift shops, a Subway sandwich shop, and a cafe/pastry shop. These two resorts also offer scuba, snorkel trips, jet skis, windsurfing, kiteboarding, ocean front pools and bar service.
General Grand Cayman Beach Notes
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically “public” since the Queen owns up to the high water mark and the shoreline quality behind your property may vary seasonally. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website because of the weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use.
Ocean Debris & Sargassum Seaweed
Beaches in Grand Cayman may also experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed seasonally. Sargassum is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has increased in frequency in recent years. Although sargassum is an unsightly nuisance, it is largely seasonal in summer. Our owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival.
Should sargassum weed be extremely heavy behind your property, we will reach out to the owner for alternative solutions which may include a partial refund or relocation. We try our best to work around mother nature.

The 10% Guest Service Fee includes your Silver Thatch Membership.
The Guest Service Fee is capped at 10 days for extended stays.
