Cayman Compass
Kailani hotel set to recommence construction in August
Visible construction work has paused at the stalled Kailani hotel site in George Town over the past six months. Developer NCB Group called the latest delay a “strategic decision” and said it now aims to open the project by the end of 2026 – seven years after initially planned.
The developer, in written response to questions from the Compass, said, “While early hotel unit sales progressed, they did so more gradually than initially projected.
“Following the completion of the hotel shell and roof topping in late 2024, we made a strategic decision to pause exterior works to refine Kailani’s completion strategy.”
NCB Investments initially purchased the waterfront property opposite Kirk Market in George Town in December 2016 to build the project, described in a brochure as “Cayman Islands’ first luxury wellness and business boutique hotel”.
