Far Tortuga: 8-Bedroom Oceanfront Luxury Villa in Grand Cayman


Welcome to Far Tortuga, a stunning 8-bedroom, 7.5-bathroom luxury villa located on the peaceful North Side of Grand Cayman. This exquisite property offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and provides direct access to an expansive sandy beach, a living coral reef, and a private dock for endless water activities. Whether you want to snorkel, kayak, or simply relax by the ocean, the villa offers a perfect backdrop for unforgettable experiences.


Outdoor Living

Step outside onto the expansive oceanfront patio at Far Tortuga and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Caribbean breeze. Take a refreshing dip in the heated pool, lounge in comfort, and savor the stunning views. A handcrafted charcoal grill, made by a local stone mason, is perfect for grilling fresh seafood or other culinary delights. Just steps from the patio, you'll find a shaded beach table, beach chairs, and an outdoor shower for ultimate relaxation. Enjoy the water with 4 kayaks and snorkeling gear provided, perfect for exploring the crystal-clear waters and vibrant marine life. Dine or unwind in the oceanfront screened-in patio while listening to the soothing sounds of the waves. With so many activities right at your doorstep, Far Tortuga offers a luxurious experience without ever needing to leave the property.


Interior Features

The interior of Far Tortuga is thoughtfully designed to provide both comfort and privacy for guests of all ages. The spacious open-floor plan features a brand-new kitchen with modern stainless-steel appliances, including two full-size refrigerators to cater to all your needs. The kitchen is equipped with a full complement of small appliances such as a blender, crockpot, kettle, toaster, Keurig coffee machine, drip coffee maker, coffee grinder, and electric griddle. There’s also a coffee bar with a beverage fridge, a large breakfast bar with seating for seven, and a vaulted ceiling with a fan to create a spacious and airy atmosphere. For families with young children, the villa offers 2 high chairs, 1 crib, and 2 pack-n-plays for added convenience and comfort.

Adjacent to the kitchen is a laundry room with a washing machine and dryer, and there’s another laundry room in the Eastern Cottage with a brand-new LG washing machine/dryer tower.

The villa’s sprawling living area is designed for relaxation, featuring comfortable seating, a large flat-screen Smart TV, and an arcade game nook for entertainment. Two large dining tables provide ample seating, ensuring everyone has a comfortable place to gather.


Privacy & Comfort

One of the unique features of Far Tortuga is the layout of the bedrooms, which are spread out to allow for maximum privacy. Each of the 8 bedrooms is equipped with air conditioning and ceiling fans to ensure comfort throughout the year. The villa is perfect for both couples and families, offering spaces where you can come together or enjoy your own private retreat.

Whether you’re lounging on the beach, swimming in the pool, or relaxing inside, Far Tortuga offers a truly luxurious and private escape in the most beautiful and peaceful settings in the Caribbean.


Activities

Far Tortuga offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure, with easy access to the nearby Cayman Kai area, home to Rum Point, Starfish Point, and the Bioluminescent Bay, where you can experience natural wonders like glowing waters at night. The area is also ideal for water-sport activities, including excursions to Stingray City, as well as dining at the Kaibo Yacht Club, which features an espresso shop for morning coffee. For convenience, a small grocery store is just two minutes away for all your essentials, making it easy to enjoy both the tranquility of the villa and the vibrant local attractions.


Beach Notes

Many beaches around Grand Cayman are protected by Ironshore along the shoreline, and while you may notice a small amount of Ironshore at Far Tortuga, there is plenty of soft, white sand for our guests to enjoy. The beach provides easy access to the water for activities like kayaking, snorkeling, and swimming. Right in front of the house lies the Barrier Reef, offering protected snorkeling just waiting for you to explore. For foot protection, water shoes or fins are recommended, given the abundant marine life and coral. While beaches in Grand Cayman may occasionally experience floating ocean debris and sargassum weed, which is a generally harmless floating seaweed that has become more frequent in recent years, it is mostly seasonal, particularly in the summer. We make every effort to remove heavy sargassum and ensure the beach is raked and ready for you before your arrival, so you can fully enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

What a Great Getaway
Six couples in our family stayed at Far Tortuga for a week and had a wonderful getaway. The house accommodated us very well. Each couple had a private bedroom with its own en-suite bath, and the gathering spaces were large enough for all of us to play games, dine together, watch TV, or just visit. We snorkeled and kayaked right off the private pier and enjoyed sitting outside or in the screened porch every morning. The kitchen is well equipped, and we used it a lot. Brad and Gigi were great hosts and responsive to our needs in a timely way. We recommend Far Tortuga if you plan a trip to Grand Cayman.

Wonderful property, well appointed, great location
We spent Chrismas week at this newly-renovated property. It’s in a great location, close enough to all of the amenities at Rum Point (parks, beaches, water sports, restaurants) but far enough where you feel secluded with your own pool and beach. We loved both the house and the area and would stay here again.The property was just renovated and was light and airy. Everything was well appointed. The kitchen had every pot and pan and utensil imaginable, even a crock pot and rice coooker. Plenty of plates and utensils. Bedrooms were nice, all new bathrooms, and fold out beds in every closet so we could arrange where the kids stayed easily. The bunk bed even had a trundle. The owner was very accommodating with providing cribs and high chairs on request.Beach was great, a bit rocky and some seaweed but not a problem and there was plenty of beach for the kids to play on. Great snorkeling location, lots of conch and easy to wade out to the reef, and there is plenty of snorkel equipment pro. Rum Bay is a 10 minute drive, the beach nearby at Starfish Point is very nice soft sand as is the one at Rum Point Resort where you can have someone bring you frozen drinks all day if you want that. We made a couple of trips to the west side / seven mile for activities but we liked staying on Northside and would do so again. The property manager was highly responsive to our minor issues and questions. This is a well managed property in nice shape, great for extended family stays.

Already Planning a Return
Our friends were looking for a relaxing, beach getaway and Tortuga did not disappoint. The property is absolutely breathtaking and meticulously kept. With our party of 10, we easily had our own spaces. The open area kitchen was great for cooking and meal preparation.Brad went above and beyond to ensure that we had a relaxing and entertaining stay. From dining recommendations nearby to the on site kayaks and snorkeling equipment, the amenities were superb. We are already discussing when we can return as a group with friends or family. Thank you Brad for the immaculate beach property and responding to all our inquiries promptly.
