MAREA – Where refined luxury meets small island charm.

This premier real estate development, a collection of ten high-end villas on Little Cayman’s southern coast, is set to transform the concept of luxury living on the island, all while respecting its unique, unspoiled allure.

Construction of this $30 million landmark development began in January 2024 and has an anticipated completion date of December 2025.

A pioneering project for the Sister Islands, MAREA sets a new benchmark for thoughtful, sustainable development to ensure the island’s growth is in harmony with its serene and pristine environment.

A Legacy of Excellence

MAREA is spearheaded by the Tibbetts family, whose deep-rooted legacy on the Sister Islands includes some of the most iconic resorts on Cayman Brac and Little Cayman. The next generation – Michael, Emily, and Jessica – are partnering with the renowned construction firm Arch & Godfrey to continue the family’s tradition of quality, innovative development.

The Development

Designed by Michael Meghoo and the talented team at MJM Architects, MAREA features ten elegant four-bedroom villas on Little Cayman’s south shore. Each villa, spanning 2,700 square feet, is designed to seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces, with open-plan living areas that open onto screened terraces and a second-floor suite with doors onto a private terrace.

The floor plans include two master suites along with two guest suites, ensuring the villas provide a comfortable retreat for two families vacationing together. High-quality, contemporary finishes ensure each villa is the epitome of understated elegance.

The development also includes thoughtfully designed amenities that elevate the Little Cayman experience. A multi-level resort-style pool with shallow areas for children, an integrated hot tub, and a private cabana for each villa create an ideal setting for relaxation. A dedicated pavilion provides shaded spaces for entertaining, while a pristine 300-foot beachfront and private dock allow for effortless access to Little Cayman’s crystalline waters.

The Experience

MAREA is more than just a residential community; it’s a fully managed retreat designed to offer absolute convenience and hassle-free ownership for investors.
An attentive concierge service will coordinate everything from airport transfers to local excursions, enabling homeowners to slip into island life the moment they land, while maintenance and management are handled by an expert team so that
owners can enjoy carefree days of sunshine and sea.

MAREA is a landmark development that will set the standard for future real estate development on the island. With seven villas already reserved, MAREA is attracting discerning Cayman residents and visitors who value Little Cayman’s natural beauty and tranquil charm and wish to contribute to its sustainable future.
