GRAND CAYMAN—Kimpton Hotels introduces Seafire Resort + Spa, Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman as it officially begins its one-year countdown to opening in November 2016. Seafire reflects Kimpton’s first new build venture in a dedicated resort market and will be the first property outside the continental U.S. within the brand’s current portfolio. It also holds the honor of being the first new development along Seven Mile Beach in more than a decade.
Seafire represents Kimpton’s take on what a playful yet sophisticated island escape should be for today’s discerning leisure travelers and meeting/incentive groups seeking a balance between luxury and authenticity. The property will deliver the brand’s hallmark genuine service, inspired design, and an array of signature amenities and culinary offerings set against the striking backdrop of famed Seven Mile Beach.
Seafire, which first broke ground in 2012 and is now a year away from opening, recently celebrated the topping off of its main building, home to the resort’s 266 distinctively-appointed guest rooms and suites. These will include a penthouse Presidential Suite, 16 oceanfront suites, nine beachfront bungalows, 18 oceanview suites, 118 oceanview guest rooms, and eight uniquely configured family suites, along with an eclectic mix of features such as spa bathrooms, wide orientations to maximize ocean views, and convenient kitchenettes.
Upon arrival, a Ficus Aurora heritage tree and lush tropical landscaping provide a memorable welcome to guests. Once at the hotel, guests will be greeted with their first glimpse of the sea as seen through the open lobby building set far enough to provide a visual of the surrounding seascape.
A promenade that leads guests on a path to relaxation and enjoyment via special seating areas, “hidden spots,” a communal fire pit, 1,300-square-foot event lawn, and one of the resort’s two pools. Home to the resort’s main pool, beach, and water sports access, the interconnected coastal biking and walking paths, and a retail and restaurant promenade located alongside a spectacular blue/green accent wall.
The property will also house 62 residential units with access to all Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa amenities, a private social rooftop, personalized concierge service, and a beach view from every unit.
