What it costs

Half the homes for sale in the Cayman Islands are asking more than CI$525,000 — about £475k — and half less. That is 19% above the middle of the 31 islands on this site. Renting, the middle of the market is CI$3,200 a month (£3k). Put together, that is a gross yield of about 7.3% — before any of the costs that make a real return smaller.

Cheaper, if the number above is the problem: Seychelles (£456k), Barbados (£415k), Malta (£403k), Isle of Man (£400k). Search every island by budget.

Costs about the same: Seychelles, Gibraltar, Barbados — worth a look if you have not fixed on a place.

What this page does not tell you

Nothing here is tax, residency or immigration advice, and we do not publish rules we cannot source — those change, they differ by nationality, and getting them wrong costs you far more than a search does. Take them from the island's own government. Prices are asking prices from agents' own sites, not achieved prices. Flight times are estimates and routes change with the season.

Compiled 2026-11-07 from 1 agent sites plus published climate, airport and mapping data. How this works · Compare every island side by side
