The Makauwahi Cave Reserve is a must-see for nature lovers and paleontology enthusiasts. This sinkhole is home to a sand-floored cave that holds a rich fossil record and evidence of the widespread extinction of native plants and animals. The reserve can be reached by hiking along the Maha'ulepu Heritage Trail or by driving along a dirt road beyond the Grand Hyatt. Visitors can learn more about the site's history from the volunteers who are on hand daily in the cave and can take a walk along the rim of the sinkhole, which is being replanted with native species.

Fjätervålen mountain is where both beginners and advanced skiers find their delight. The vastness of the skiing area relative to the number of guests means it never feels crowded, and the slopes don't get overused. Perfect for smooth carving, but also a favourite spot for many alpine clubs for training and competitions. The slopes meet international FIS norms for slalom, giant slalom, and women's super-G. The fact that all slopes converge in one place is a definite advantage. Everyone can ski their favourite slope, but it's always easy to find each other again at the foot of the mountain.

Fort George was a colonial era fortification that was built in 1790s to protect the harbour. By the 20th century, the fort was no longer in use. Only a tall silk cotton tree growing within the fort was used as a lookout post to spot German submarines that patrolled the Caribbean waters. Today, very little remains of the structure. The ruins belong to the National Trust for the Cayman Islands and are an important remnant of the colonial times.
