A Food Lover’s Guide to Rum Point: Lunch, Sunset Drinks, and Dinner by the Sea

Few places in Grand Cayman invite you to slow down and savour the moment quite like Rum Point. With calm turquoise waters, soft white sand, and a laid-back atmosphere, it’s the kind of destination where a quick visit easily turns into a full day by the sea.

At Rum Point Club, dining isn’t simply a way to refuel between activities — it’s part of the magic of the day. From relaxed lunches by the water to golden-hour cocktails and elegant Caribbean-inspired dinners, the culinary experience here is as immersive as diving into the Cayman waters.

For a taste of what to expect, we’ve created this food lover’s guide to Rum Point, highlighting our signature dishes, drinks, and experiences!

Start with a Laid-Back Lunch at the Rum Deck

After a morning spent swimming, relaxing, or enjoying our range of Rum Point activities, lunch at the Rum Deck is the perfect way to ease into the afternoon.

Set just steps from the sand, the Rum Deck offers a casual, open-air dining experience that captures the easygoing spirit of Rum Point. Our lunch menu features a mix of light appetizers, nutritious salads, and hearty sandwiches. And if you have an appetite after a morning on the water, our classic Rum Point burger will hit the spot.

Many guests begin with something refreshing from the drinks menu, like a crisp white wine, a frozen cocktail, or a cold beer, along with conch croquettes, an island favourite. Boats drift past in the distance, palm trees sway overhead, and there’s no reason to rush!

If you’re planning your first visit here, our Guide to a Relaxing Day at Rum Point has helpful tips on how to structure your day so you can make the most of everything Rum Point has to offer.

Savour Rum Point’s Iconic Cocktails

As the afternoon unfolds, the Rum Deck becomes an easy place to linger. What starts as lunch often turns into a few drinks as you lounge by the sea.

Rum Point has long been known for its cocktails, especially the Mudslide. Created right here in the 1980s, this delicious concoction of vodka, Irish cream liqueur, coffee liqueur, and cinnamon is our signature drink!

Our drinks menu celebrates that heritage with a mix of Caribbean classics and creative house creations. Rum-forward cocktails pay tribute to the island’s history, while refreshing options like mojitos and margaritas are perfect for warm afternoons by the sea. If you’re in the mood for something lighter, chilled rosé or a crisp white wine pairs beautifully with the coastal setting.The atmosphere during this part of the day is particularly special. The pace slows, conversations stretch out, and the views across the North Sound begin to glow in softer afternoon light. It’s one of the reasons Rum Point Club consistently ranks among the island’s most memorable places to dine.

Stay for Sunset at Rum Point

Sunset at Rum Point is a moment worth staying for. As the sun begins to drop toward the horizon, the colours across the water shift from bright turquoise to warm shades of gold, coral, and soft pink. Many guests who planned to leave earlier in the day decide to stay once the sunset begins, and it’s easy to see why. For a truly unparalleled experience, you could even join our Sunset Sail from Rum Point. With a cocktail in hand and the Caribbean Sea stretching out before you, this golden hour experience creates the perfect transition into an evening of delectable dining.

Finish the Day with Dinner at Solis Restaurant

When evening arrives, Solis Restaurant offers a refined yet relaxed way to end your day at Rum Point Club. Overlooking the water, Solis brings a slightly more elevated dining experience while still embracing the easy coastal atmosphere that defines Rum Point. The setting is elegant but unpretentious, making it ideal for both special occasions and relaxed dinners with family or friends.

The dinner menu foregrounds fresh ingredients and carefully prepared dishes that celebrate the flavours of the Caribbean and wider Mediterranean influences. Seafood naturally takes centre stage, with popular dishes including our fresh catch of the day and Rum Point hot pot. If you have more of a taste for red meat, don’t worry, as we also have steak and short rib on offer.

Pair your meal with a glass from the curated wine list or a signature cocktail from the bar, and the experience becomes a memorable finale to a day spent by the water. Top it all off with one of our sweet and refreshing desserts, and you’ll leave Rum Point fully satisfied. If you’re deciding what to order beforehand, our article The Rum Point Club Menu: Signature Dishes You’ll Love highlights some of the dishes that guests return to time and time again.
