Camana Bay – Overview

What is Camana Bay?

Camana Bay is a community that is blossoming into life on 500 acres between Seven Mile Beach and the North Sound on the island of Grand Cayman. A place to live, work and play, the Town of Camana Bay is thoughtfully designed, sensitive to its environment and committed to excellence. With shops, restaurants, offices, a six-screen cinema and 60 apartments, the master plan for Camana Bay was originally designed by the award-winning team of Moore Ruble Yudell and OLIN. Since then a number of other consultants have been involved in developing and evolving the plans. Among others, this includes Duany Plater-Zyberk and Torti-Gallas.

The most recent plans incorporate future residential areas, hotels, a marina and other amenities. Dart Realty is now in the planning phase for The Town’s residential communities (with pre-sales for The Homes slated for early 2011). Contemporary Caribbean architecture and lush, indigenous landscaping provides a pedestrian-friendly environment for Cayman’s residents and visitors. The town plan is designed to be flexible, allowing Camana Bay to grow organically over several decades and ensuring it will flourish for generations to come.
