There are two Sister islands, as they are affectionately called. One is Cayman Brac it is about 89 miles northeast of Grand Cayman and Little Cayman about 5 miles west of Cayman Brac.

The Bluff is a limestone outcrop that rises steadily along the island’s length and offers visitors a chance to hike, rock climb, and bird watching along the rustic landscape. Cayman government is encouraging development on the Brac. As of January 1, 2021, there is no stamp duty for Brac as long as you build within four years. Also, there are no planning fees nor stamp duty on construction materials.
