GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, Feb. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Forbes Travel Guide ("FTG"), the only global rating system for luxury hotels, restaurants, spas and ocean cruises, today announced its 2024 Star Awards — and Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa has earned its second consecutive Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star award.

This dual recognition elevates Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa to a remarkable 10-Star property and sets it apart as one of the only Forbes Five-Star spas in the Cayman Islands.

"We are thrilled to once again be acknowledged by Forbes with the Five-Star rating, in addition to this year's well-deserved Five-Star recognition for our Spa at Seafire," said Steven Andre, Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa's General Manager. "This achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team in consistently delivering exceptional experiences to our guests. We are proud to lead the way in luxury hospitality and look forward to continuing to exceed expectations."

Kimpton Seafire's 10-Star status comes as the result of a bold and innovative approach to the luxury resort experience. Never resting on its considerable laurels, Seafire consistently delivers surprising and delightful programming for its guests.

The Spa At Seafire furthers this commitment to excellence and innovation, delivering rejuvenation and refreshment through creative treatments that draw inspiration from Grand Cayman's tropical locale.

• Spread over 8,500 square feet, The Spa is a co-ed, indoor-outdoor garden retreat with a Vitality Pool and waterfall, a relaxation lounge, a hair salon, five treatment rooms, two couples' suites, four nail stations, and men's and women's changing areas with steam rooms.
• Additionally, the spa is home to one of the island's only Hammam, with tiles and a specialized team flown in from Turkey for installation.
• Designed to bring Grand Cayman's natural beauty inside, the spa features aquatic touches everywhere, including a grand soaking tub worthy of its own airy enclave, complete with streaming natural light and botanical adornments.
