Sea Orchard Retreat: Gated Micro-Resort Near Seven Mile Beach w/Private Pool & Heated Spa

***Property Overview***
Sea Orchard Retreat offers individuals, couples, families, and small groups the opportunity to combine a relaxing Caribbean vacation with watersports, eco-excursions, and wellness treatments from private vendors for massage, yoga, and more! We maintain a complete list of preferred vendors for many activities, excursions, and wellness services.

We are a gated oceanfront boutique of finely decorated cottages on the quiet northern coast of Grand Cayman, located only 10 minutes from the watersports, golfing, dining, and leisure attractions of Seven Mile Beach. The shops of George Town & Camana Bay are also only a short drive away.

Sea Orchard Retreat offers four private two-bedroom and two-bathroom cottages with a large resort pool with a heated spa, plus an on-site gym, oceanfront inspiration cabanas, and seaside lounging hammocks. Our managers can arrange group airport transportation, or they can help arrange a rental car should you desire** (see restrictions below).

Papagallo Restaurant is within walking distance and the new Kimpton Seafire Resort & Spa is only 5 minutes by car. We are also only a 5-minute walk from Barkers Beach, an oceanfront nature conservancy where nesting turtles, birds, and other fauna are all protected and kiteboarding is popular.

Sea Orchard is also a popular venue for destination weddings, counseling groups, spiritual retreats, yoga retreats, and small informal gatherings. We aim to accommodate our guests' needs!

Destination weddings require the full rental of at least 2 cottages, plus an event fee and a refundable security deposit. Email us directly for full details.

The resort usually requires a 3-night minimum stay, however, during low season the owner may consider shorter "staycation" bookings. Please inquire for further details.

The entire property can sleep a maximum of 26 guests, 18 adults max due to licensing restrictions. We have proper sleeping beds for 16 adults and rollaway beds and sleeper sofas that can accommodate the rest.

***Beach Notes***
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically public since the Queen 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 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 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.

We all fell in love with Cayman because of our special stay. I would not hestitate to book The Sea Orchard Retreat again in the future!

Christmas at the Sea Orchard
This property was exactly as advertised and worked very well for our extended family of 19. The cottages were great and everyone enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The beach as small and rocky, especially when the water was high, but we could walk along the beach and play in the sand. Vic who was onsite daily was helpful and cheerful and made the stay more pleasant. The location was good for the things we wanted to do. We spent part of one day traveling to other parts of the island to see Queen Elizabeth's Garden and the Crystal Caves and it was very manageable. We would stay there again if we travel to Grand Cayman in the future.

Paradise in Grand Cayman
Everything about our stay was wonderful. Sea Orchard is truly an amazing gorgeous property and the management staff could not have been more helpful. It was perfect for our family of 12 all of whom wanted to stay forever. Can’t say enough good things about it.

This property was more than advertised. I’ve stayed in quite a few condos and timeshares and was spoiled by Sea Orchard Retreat. Beautiful property, amazing amenities and fantastic cottages. The service was impeccable with so many little touches that no one in our diverse group of seventeen had any negatives to say which is saying a lot for our group. Many small and unique aspects and amenities that surprised us all such as fishing poles, snorkel equipment and small things like a terrific spice rack and laundry detergent.

A wonderful property! It was so amazing, we only stayed 3 days and it was not enough time to take advantage of all the place had to offer. Everyone was so very helpful! The only negative is it is a bit far from the main drag

Fantastic private Caymans resort
Perfect for our group of 12 as each luxury casita the same and easy to make one the “hub” for group activity. The pool and garden are fabulous with tons of shaded areas to lounge. We all loved it here. Excellent kitchen facilities and very modern. I would come back for sure.

Amazing sanctuary with all of the amenities
This luxurious property was absolutely perfect for our group gathering. Everyone had their own bedroom suite, view of the ocean, access to the pool, outdoor relaxation areas and more. The onsite staff was extremely helpful and accommodating with all of our need - both leading up to the trip, and while onsite. They provide ocean toys (paddleboards, snorkel gear, etc.) and we found a Yoga instructor to come teach on the property. Seven mile beach is a short cab ride away, to oceanfront hotels, dining and nightlife. I would highly recommend this paradise to groups who want to escape together, but want their own private lodging accomodations. It's amazing!

Fantastic for large families or groups
The sea orchard is had everything we look for in a vacation rental. We have rented houses across Mexico, Central America and the United States and this is one of our favorites. We have a large family and filled up all 4 cottages. Everything we needed was on the property. We could definitely tell it was a resort at some point because it had a bed a breakfast feel. Even if you don't rent every cottage, you still will have plenty of privacy. A couple things to think about if you rent here: 1) There isn't really a "beach" to have kids play on but there is plenty of sandy areas around the property that the kids are able to play in 2) The location is only walking distance to one restaurant. Either use a grocery service or rent a car. I would recommend renting a car as taxi rides get expensive quickly 3) Two of the cottages have a room with 2 twin beds. Was not a problem for our family but be sure you know which one you are renting. Overall our experience was fantastic. They even provided multiple high chairs and pack and play/roll away beds for our little ones. There were plenty of toys and floaties in the cabinets next to the pool so no need to bring much. One of the best ones out there!
