Welcome to Villa Mora. This luxurious seven-bedroom, seven-and-a-half bath beachfront gated estate sits on over 200 feet of pristine Grand Cayman beach with fabulous snorkeling and breathtaking sunset views of tranquil South Sound. Spanning over 8 000 square feet., this magnificent oceanfront home features ample outdoor space including a 75-foot-long pool, whirlpool spa, expansive covered veranda, outdoor kitchen, and propane barbecue, plus an oceanfront cabana.

The main house at Villa Mora sleeps 14 guests (maximum ten adults) in five spacious bedroom suites and two comfortable pull-out couches. All bedrooms except the twin suite enjoy spectacular ocean views and offer private balconies or covered porticos. The gourmet kitchen comes equipped with modern stainless appliances, granite counters, and a breakfast bar with seating. The great room dining area provides seating for 14 and features a retractable glass wall providing direct access to the beach, pool deck, and open-air views of the Caribbean.

Villa Mora's guest cottage sits at the far end of the pool spa and features queen suites, with an attached bath, accommodating up to 4 additional guests. Each bedroom suite opens out onto an oceanfront deck nestled against manicured lawns down to the beach. The cottage also features a covered veranda, and an outdoor kitchen and bar area.

The main house can be rented alone for up to 14 guests (maximum ten adults), with an option to include the guest cottage to sleep a total of 18 guests (maximum 14 adults). Even if you rent just the main house, the outdoor kitchen and bar area is yours to use. The cottage is never rented to unrelated guests during your stay.

Beach Notes
While Grand Cayman is only 22 miles wide some guests prefer to be closer to Georgetown and Seven Mile Beach for day trips. Villa Mora is only 5-10 minutes from George Town and the beaches on the west coast of the island. The villa enjoys a sandy beach area, however, guests need to be mindful that this is a marine area with a coral reef and wading in the water will require hard-soled pool shoes or fins.

This is not the perfect barefoot beach for swimming. It is a marine environment and is protected. One can walk either way on the beach and barely see a soul. This is a residential neighbourhood and not a tourist area. The south of the island usually enjoys a pleasant gentle breeze that keeps any insects at bay and obviates the need for a screened porch.

Driving west of the house will take you towards George Town and there is a very nice spot called Smith Cove with barefoot swimming and snorkeling. Dart Beach is also there as well and open to the public.

For more barefoot swimming on Seven Mile Beach, you can swim at Royal Palms, Governor's Beach, the "Public " Beach (all beaches are technically public) and Tiki Beach near the Kimpton, as well as snorkel at Cemetery Reef. Nice beach with amazing views. Excellent snorkeling out at the reef. Shallow water with seagrass entry. Nice for kayaking and paddleboarding. Swimmable once the water is deep enough.

General Grand Cayman Beach Notes
All beaches in Grand Cayman are technically “public” since the Queen owns up to the high watermark and the shoreline quality behind your property may vary seasonally. Be advised that the beach or water entry behind your property may vary slightly from the images on our website because of the weather. The next-door beach is also always available for your use.

Ocean Debris and 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. The owners do make efforts to remove heavy sargassum and will have the beach raked prior to your arrival. We try our best to work around mother nature.
