Tatenda

Imagine a colonial estate on the sea, brushed by palm fronds and fragranced by tropical plants. Picture a sandy beach you don’t have to share and lounge chairs overlooking the Caribbean Sea (and the kids as they paddle-board, kayak and snorkel the cove’s gentle waters). This is Tatenda Villa: our seven-bedroom, seven-bath gem in Cayman’s South Sound community.

Twenty guests can gather at Tatenda. An oceanfront suite and garden-view bedroom share the main level with the open-concept Great Room, chef’s kitchen, and oceanfront deck. On the second floor, three king-size suites all feature spectacular sea views and their own baths. Ascend the spiral stairs to the third floor, where a family suite sleeps three in a queen bed and two twins. Use the suite’s kitchenette to brew your coffee and enjoy it on the sun porch with views of the grounds and sea beyond.

Four guests can claim the attached carriage house, with a king-size suite and a living area with a queen sofa bed. Great for teens and night owls, this space even has it’s own kitchen for midnight snacks.
