Is It Worth Buying Property in The Cayman Islands? Insights From Expert Mike Ryan

GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Sept. 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As one of the Caribbean’s most resilient and exclusive destinations, the Cayman Islands have long attracted discerning investors, homeowners, and developers. For Mike Ryan—an international real estate developer with over three decades of experience—this British Overseas Territory offers more than just pristine beaches and tax-neutral status. It offers a rare combination of financial stability, legal transparency, and lifestyle appeal that continues to drive long-term value.

Beyond Luxury: Building with Purpose

“Real estate on Cayman Islands is not just about luxury. It’s about smart development that’s sustainable, thoughtfully planned, and community-focused,” says Mike Ryan, whose portfolio includes world-class projects like The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman and the new mixed-use development Prisma. Through his company, Silverfin Development, Michael Ryan is actively shaping the future of Cayman through innovation and strategic growth.

Is It Worth It?

For Mike Ryan, the answer is a resounding yes provided buyers approach the market with the right knowledge and expectations. “Property ownership here offers not only a high quality of life but also strong long-term value,” says Michael Ryan. The Cayman Islands’ tax-neutral status, political stability, and limited supply of prime land all contribute to steady appreciation. Waterfront and canal-front homes remain especially sought after, offering both lifestyle benefits and robust investment potential.

What Makes the Cayman Real Estate Market Unique

One of the key drivers of the Cayman market is its unique balance between global accessibility and local protection. “Cayman welcomes foreign investment but maintains strong planning regulations that preserve the island’s character. That’s critical for long-term value,” explains Michael Ryan. With limited available land, demand remains high, particularly for waterfront properties, planned communities, and mixed-use developments.

Silverfin’s recent projects reflect this vision. FIN Grand Cayman and The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton offer master-planned communities designed for residents who value privacy, security, and connection to nature. Meanwhile, Prisma brings a new level of urban vibrancy to Crystal Harbour, blending residential, retail, and lifestyle spaces in a way that enhances both livability and economic activity.

A Long-Term Approach That Pays Off

Still, Michael Ryan cautions that success in this market requires experience and patience. “This is not a space for speculative, short-term thinking. The Cayman Islands reward those who plan thoughtfully and build relationships with the local community.”
