* Living in close proximity to the ocean.
* More relaxed nature of island life.
* Extremely picturesque surroundings with virtually zero air pollution.
* Climate lends itself to participation in sports and outdoor activities, including water sports (swimming, snorkelling, paddle‑boarding, kitesurfing, scuba diving, fishing, sailing, jet‑skiing, canoeing), team sports (football, cricket, rugby, hockey, etc.) and individual sports (cycling, jogging, crossfit, outdoor yoga, golf, tennis).
Ease of Transition
All the islands have English as the main language and a friendly, lively, cosmopolitan expat community, making settling into island life easier. No exams are necessary to get admitted and practise in Cayman, BVI or Bermuda.
