“By bringing water and vegetation into the interiors, creating living spaces without walls, and letting the wind flow through from front to back, this design truly excels at integrating indoors and outdoors, questioning where one begins and the other ends” 🌿🌊🌬️

Where architecture meets nature 🌿✨ Casa Punta Cana redefines the modern beach house with flowing lines, organic forms, and a seamless blend of indoors and out.

Designed by Ivo Mareines, this avant-garde retreat brings the elements inside, with lush gardens, water features, and ocean breezes shaping every space. 🌾

This six-bedroom masterpiece is divided into two wings. One side is dedicated to private sanctuaries, while the other is designed for vibrant social spaces. A breezy, meandering walkway flows like a lazy river through the home, connecting both areas.

At its heart, a futuristic glass-encased family room immerses guests in an aquatic garden. Towering timber columns branch out like trees, supporting the 18-foot canopy over the pool deck.

Every material, from slate walls to cedar shingles and copper accents, was chosen to evolve with time, blending the home even further into its natural surroundings.

More than a residence, Casa Punta Cana is a living, breathing sculpture—an ever-changing dialogue between design and nature, where every space invites discovery. 🌊✨

Heritage Salvaged 🇰🇾 🏡 In a quiet corner of West Bay, down a winding maze of narrow roads, stands a modest 1921 Caymanian cottage, a symbol of Cayman’s endangered yet enduring architectural heritage.

When award-winning furniture designer John Bird, owner of Martlet Design, found this traditional home for sale in 2021, he saw an opportunity to restore a forgotten piece of history exactly one century after it was first built. 🛠️

Using reclaimed materials and traditional craftsmanship, he spent a year carefully restoring its original charm - preserving existing wattle and daub walls and Ironwood posts, whilst integrating wood from the old Cayman airport, and other salvaged materials - all while adapting the home for modern island living. 🌴🏠

This thoughtfully renovated home is a testament to Cayman’s architectural heritage and the power of preservation. In a world of rapid development, it stands as a reminder that true luxury isn’t borne of novelty, size, and cost, but of history, passion, and craftsmanship.

The Legacy of a Leader: Captain Robert Hamaty ✈️ 🥃🇰🇾

Captain Robert Hamaty, founder of Tortuga Cayman was more than an entrepreneur—he was a leader, a pioneer, and a devoted family man.

✈️ 🌎 From soaring the skies as a Cayman Airways captain to building a global brand with Tortuga Rum and Caribbean rum cakes, his resilience and passion left a lasting impact.

🥃🍰 Tortuga started as a small family business in 1984 and grew into a globally recognised brand, famous for its award-winning rum and signature Caribbean rum cakes.

At the heart of it all was family. Captain Robert and his wife, Carlene, poured their dedication into the business while raising Monique and Basil, who witnessed firsthand the struggles and triumphs that shaped their father’s journey. 💙

Today, they carry on his legacy, honouring his values of hard work, integrity, and service to the community.

This year, Captain Robert was proudly recognised as a National Hero🏅 during the Cayman Islands National Heroes Day ceremony—a testament to his enduring contributions to business, aviation, and Cayman’s community.
