Events, Seasonal Savings, and Direct Flights Make Summer 2025 the Ideal Time to Visit The Cayman Islands
There are vacations you take — and then there are ones you never want to leave. This summer, the Cayman Islands invites travelers to slow down and settle in with the launch of its 2025 Summer Campaign: “Caution: Book Responsibly.” With the sun-soaked promise of a “7th Night Free” across participating accommodations, visitors are encouraged to extend their stay and immerse themselves more deeply in the islands’ irresistible allure.
The campaign taps into what travelers increasingly crave: longer, more meaningful escapes. In fact, research reveals that eight days is the ideal vacation length — long enough to disconnect from daily stress, fully settle into vacation mode, and connect with new surroundings on a deeper level. The Cayman Islands’ “7th Night Free” offer is designed to give travelers that extra day — the one that often makes the whole trip feel transformative.
“Summer is a competitive time for our region as there is heightened prospecting to secure family travel. This requires the full complement of sales, marketing and advertising support to succeed,” said Mrs. Rosa Harris, Director of Tourism for the Cayman Islands. “The Cayman Islands Department of Tourism has collaborated with members of the Cayman Islands Tourism Association on a summer campaign offering packages that include a complimentary seventh night. This offer and a growing lineup of cultural events and experiences make summer in Cayman an invitation to explore all three islands at your own pace – and to truly immerse yourself in everything that makes our destination so exceptional. Thank you to the tourism partners that have signed up for our summer campaign. We’re excited to support this important seasonal promotion.”
