Southern Cross Club, Little Cayman
Southern Cross Club’s private rooms are situated along 900 feet of white coral sand beach, facing the gorgeous South Hole Sound and uninhabited Owen Island. This layout affords a cooling southern breeze from the summer trade winds and stellar ocean views from each room. Set in the middle of this row of bungalows is Club’s main building. The Clubhouse features the main dining room, a screened, open-air dining pavilion, the Loggerhead Bar and a thatched Tiki bar around the freshwater pool.
In keeping with the laid-back feel of the Club, the bar operates on an honour system during the day. As the afternoon cools, an in-house bartender is always on hand to mix a wide array of colourful tropical drinks. Both the main bar and Tiki bar provide a great meeting place for the Club’s guests, as well as a few locals, to discuss the day’s fishing and diving as the sun sets before dinner.
Evenings primarily feature a la carte dining with an Indian Banquet on Wednesdays and Italian-themed Pasta Nights on Fridays. Choose to eat in the air-conditioned dining room, the screened dining pavilion, or outside, under a billion Caribbean stars, either on the pool deck or on the beach.
14 beachfront ocean view bungalows are each as unique and vibrant as the sea they fringe. All bungalows are coloured to mimic the spirit of the Caribbean Sea. All cottages have private baths, outside decks, and air-conditioning. Some bungalows have a king bed, others two queens. Many have an additional day bed overlooking South Hole Sound Lagoon. About half of the bungalows feature private outdoor showers. The two-bedroom suite, Blossom Cottage, is perfect for small families or small groups of friends. The popular Honeymoon Cottage features a private outdoor shower overlooking the colourful South Hole Sound lagoon.

Dive Sites
The Cayman Islands have a dive site for every day of the year – Dive365! – and Little Cayman’s dive sites are the gems in the crown of the Cayman Islands. Bloody Bay Marine Park was established in 1986, and has allowed the Cayman Islands marine parks dive tourism to stand head and shoulders above many others in the Caribbean. Achieved through a bold move on the part of the government and Department of Environment using foresight to protect the delicate and diverse biodiversity found in the Cayman waters for generations to come. The management of the parks includes the use of permanent mooring balls and anchoring is prohibited to prevent damage to the sensitive environment below. Research is ongoing across many areas to constantly evaluate the health and effectiveness of the parks. Collaboration between the Department of Environment and many leading universities and conservation groups will help preserve this treasure for the future.
There are a huge variety of dive options for our dive guests in virtually all weather conditions. Some moorings are a mere 10-minute boat ride from Southern Cross’s dive dock, and others might be a half-hour ride or more, but you will never get tired of the pristine beauty of Little Cayman’s world-famous wall dives and reefs. It is a Holy Grail for scuba divers from around the world, and you will be spoiled by the clear water, healthy reefs, and huge variety of fish and sea critters found here. If you are new to diving, we will spoil you forever. If you are a seasoned veteran, be prepared to be amazed, and put another “x” in your bucket list.
