I used to think that owning a private island was a luxury exclusively reserved for the Richard Bransons of the world. The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman is making the serenity and privacy of one\u2019s own personal paradise a little more accessible.<\/p>\n
The DeckHouses, 19 five-bedroom, five-bath gated single family homes, each on a private island and with full access to the services and amenities of The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, are currently in the second phase of construction and reservations for ownership are being accepted.<\/p>\n
The idea behind the Deckhouses is to enable an owner to move from the deck of their island digs home to their luxury boat in one fluid motion, integrating outdoor and indoor living. The DeckHouses, the second phase of The Residences at the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman, are built on an island along the waterways and employ nature\u2019s building blocks, natural wood and native stone, even shells, in a series of 19 elegant private-waterfront properties.<\/span><\/p>\n Due to the grand presence of\u00a0 <\/span>H2O, transportation to and from the DeckHouses mean forgetting the car and opting for a boat.\u00a0\u201cThis is one of the first steps in becoming Grand Cayman\u2019s only ocean-to-ocean resort. It gives us the opportunity to fully integrate the Residences with the many wonders of the Caribbean Sea. Every home owner will feel connected to the water,\u201d says Michael Ryan, owner and developer of the Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. \u201cYour daily life will revolve around the water thanks to the network of waterways that tie the community together. You can step out into your boat house, fire up your boat and cruise to dinner at one of the many restaurants on property. Or, you can hop on one of the water taxis and be delivered to the shops or to an appointment at the spa.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
